Kiruxxiruk- first off, who the f*ck do you think you are to judge others opinions on topics? Have you even been reading my posts up till now? Either you're skimming through all the parts you don't understand or your too stubborn to process any of what I had explained. Because I've been reading your recent posts and understood one part about you; having a major hate for localization companies that often makes mistakes with the original material. You also keep bringing up TV Tropes that hardly relates to this conversation at all. Get your head out of your ass for once and pay attention to these conversations.

Shin no Aku- Most of what you said barely hits home to the real issue localizations are dealing with. One part is that in today's localization and licencing agreements, you have to deal with the constant lack of open communications throughout the industry. There's even an article where Aksys localization editor, Mike Engler, expresses his grief over why they didn't do so well with the translations they put out for the Fate/Extra game. I'll even share it with all of you to get an understanding of where localization is coming from.

Some of these translators didn't even know about the series since it was small at the time. Most of the gaming public didn't know anything about the Fate series or the Nasuverse when the game came out. They don't have any direct lines with the creators for resources; only documents given and a deadline to complete. Unlike fan-base translation, where they don't have any deadlines to worry about, they relied on SCRUM methodology for a small agile software localization, which consists of project's time, costs, and scope. That said, I only have respect for the attempt on the translation efforts they put in (even if there we're a few typos that couldn't be overlooked).

While I do love the Fate series now, I don't see any real reason to keep hating the translators for the Fate/Extra game from way back then. I chalk it up to writing postmortems of what we learned from this so we don't make the same mistakes in the future and move on.
