Sure would be nice if they'd also credit the English voice actors, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, and Russian localizers (English, Spanish, and Chinese were at least credited), as well as the localizers who work on any new text for this remaster, too... #TranslatorsintheCredits

Idk if Berseria's side quest translations ever got updated post-launch, but if not, hopefully Bandai fixes it for the remaster legendsoflocalization.com/articles/tal...

Don't miss this amazing interview with one of FFIX's English translators, talking about the process!

Casual reminder on Final Fantasy IX's 25th anniversary that while Alexander O. Smith is credited for the English translation of the song Melodies of Life, he did not actually work on the game. Rather, these fine people are responsible for the English translation. #TranslatorsintheCredits

Pokémon Pokopia Reveals "Peculiar" New Forms In Extended 10-Minute Trailer.

My daughter is five. 🥲

Fangamer is hiring a 🚨 Product Designer 🚨 very rare posting for a very cool job, RT's appreciated~ www.fangamer.com/pages/job-li...

Translators of Bluesky, this is a cry for help: I'm a J-E translator who's considering setting up as a freelancer. Where do I even begin? What should my rates be? Are there any good resources for people in my position? Any input at all would be helpful. Thank you!

Made an incredible discovery for language learning: Chrono Trigger DS lets you access the options menu to change the langauge *mid-dialogue box*. If you're having trouble with a line you can double-check the official localization without even closing the dialogue box. Feels very rare.

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

A demo for Octopath Traveler 0 will be made available today.

Monster Hunter Wilds title update 4 on Dec 16th

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Join us for a very special anniversary stream of #Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin! Pay tribute to the cutest harvest goddess and tune in on Monday, Nov. 10 @ 12PM PT to celebrate the 5th Anniversary with gameplay, giveaways, and a very special guest: Frank Todaro!

It was really cool to have a small part on this alongside such a talented team! Congrats all! 🎉

THAT is why I find it so insulting that anybody in upper management would dare to think they should lay off anybody in QA, let alone replace huge swaths of it with gen AI. A lot of people who aren't the famous translators you know pour in blood, sweat, and tears to bring each loc to the finish line.

It’s a bit hard for me to put into words just how very much this project meant to me, but if you know me at all, you probably understand. Echoing Jon’s sentiments below in expressing big love and gratitude to everyone involved. This game is genuinely a blast and I hope you’ll check it out! 💚

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.

Extremely proud and honored to have been part of the 8-4 team on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment as an English Translation Producer and Editor! Huge huge thank you to Nintendo, @thehalpnetwork.bsky.social, and all our incredible voice actors for helping us bring this story to life!

Congrats to the voice cast, both returning & newcomers, who are now part of the universe of The Legend of Zelda! Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment brings us a total of 34 English Voice Actors. Looking forwarding to seeing who voices who!

...I like RPGs a normal amount. (Honestly didn't realize I'd spent 250+ hours playing Pokemon X. Part of me wonders if that counts time in sleep mode, but then again I did get into trying to breed good pokemon for Wonder Trade Wednesdays...)

Last day for this! I will be donating tomorrow.

The World Bank’s latest data shows a quiet global triumph: 93% of people aged 15 to 24 can now read and write. In many regions youth literacy has reached or neared universal levels, marking one of the most successful, least reported stories in development. buff.ly/vnsUhLo #ShareGoodNewsToo

Briana White - Aerith’s voice actress in the FF7 series- is currently running a huge charity auction with a bunch of Final Fantasy memorabilia. And all proceeds are donated Immigrant Defenders Law Center - helping for legal funds and reconnecting families. Take a look! tiltify.com/@thestranger...

Correction! The original credits are accessible from the main menu, and the original English localizers are still credited there as they were before. But the ones who worked on the remaster have been omitted from the remaster credits. (They still deserve to be credited alongside the LQA folks!)

Unless there is another credits sequence I'm unaware of, Tales of Xillia Remastered also fails to credit its English localizers (both past and present), as well as its English voice actors, continuing the trend of Tales games omitting these people in the credits. #TranslatorsintheCredits

My company is doing donation matching for organizations assisting with food insecurity in local communities in light of SNAP's partial cut-off (11/1). If you'd like your donation to count double, DM me to coordinate. Lmk which of the listed orgs too. I'm donating on 11/6.

Met with my vocational rehab counselor and while I've filled out paperwork, this call for support has become more imminent as I'll need to purchase all my meds out of pocket using a combination of GoodRX and rationing until the state makes a decision

I was front row center for this amazing panel and now you get to watch it too. Probably one of the best panels ever given at a retro gaming show. Felt like the culmination of @frankcifaldi.bsky.social's life's work:

Why were there gender-balanced teams at Sega in the late 80s, and why was this never the case again afterwards? I also provide a chronology of the industry's pioneers in Japan, while addressing the issue of gender discrimination, before discussing working conditions more broadly in a later chapter.

You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well. If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..." And if you can't do either?

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

This is super old, but I attended PAX 2009 and saw this localization panel (this article describes parts of it). As far as I can tell, no video of the panel exists, but I remember really great insight on not just FFXII but also FFX and Phoenix Wright. Does anyone know if anybody filmed it at all?

New blog post! Five more things I recently learned about Japanese. It's always embarrassing to admit that I don't know some things about Japanese... but I'm not! Just that I DIDNT know things about Japanese! But now I do! And you can too! Click below! wesleycrobertson.wordpress.com/2025/10/30/f...
