Message: [QUOTE="goznog, post: 81388, member: 2065"] turning the process of a video game localisation into a cult thing (and having "localisation" replace "translation" in the gamer consciousness) is a whole business. Working Designs were the innovators of this: the "translation notes" sections of their manuals puffing themselves up and being full of embellishments, luxury packaging, limited print runs, etc. I'm pretty sure it's why Sony wanted to kill them off. their legacy can be seen in stuff like the Dragon Quest localisations with the redone voice/music/menu gimmicks and the crafted narrative regarding the wacky accents and over-editing. this marketing crap being seen as somehow necessary, or at all representative of the developers' original intent, is deeply frustrating and sad to me.
