Message: [QUOTE="Somnia, post: 45359, member: 26523"] Calling it a localization is a bit of a stretch. The localization team for that game has flat-out admitted that after translating a draft of the plot from JP they ad-libbed almost all of the dialogue. They kept characters consistent with their JP originals and the plot is the same, but the things being said are usually pretty different even if you would never guess it while playing. If they ever do remaster the game I would like to get a more direct localization even if I have tons of love and nostalgia for the original script. Definitely a game I recommend replaying the JP version of if you get the chance because the comparison is super fun to do! The one thing I'll say the English team did that was great was take the directive to snuff out all references to alcohol and simply change all mentions to a made-up in universe drink called "loqua". Very silly to have alcohol and tobacco scrubbed from a god damn pirate game but if you gotta do it, just changing it to something like that is a cute compromise imo. [/QUOTE]
