Hi, I'm Christina Rose, a Japanese-to-English freelance translator. I work primarily in games, and I also handle a few ongoing manga series. I'm going to update this thread with games/manga I've worked on, translation summaries, and thoughts on translation and the industry.

Thinking about it, Fantasy Maiden Wars is like three and a half Fire Emblems worth of SRPG gameplay, just going by stage count/game length. And all for one contiguous story.

Fantasy Maiden Wars is currently 20% off on Steam, and I assure you this is a LOT of game for $28 bux. store.steampowered.com/app/3575980/Fa…

@sakaimii Can relate. Saw someone in the wild reference an old otome game I worked on and I remarked I'd worked on that (mainly because I was surprised anyone still knew what The Niflheim was...), only for them to go, "OMG that game was my life when I was 12!" 💀

Trying not to have a crisis seeing several of the games I worked on in the replies and QRTs here lmao…but it has been a bit over 10 year so……

Preordered immediately. I rather like this series, as one might guess from my profile pic. Thanks as always for the relevant image, @TheMajinZenki!

@coffeetan Same! Playing it before FF4, it really opened my eyes to the possibilities of linear storytelling in the RPG medium, as opposed to the more open-ended, low-interaction format of DQ1-3 and FF1. Also this screen right here.

Dragon Quest IV is my favorite in the series. The FC/NES original was made so late in the console’s life cycle that it really shines making the most of the technology, and remains my favorite version of the game!

Played the demo. Fun game in concept, but the timer requirements are so excessively demanding, the whole experience becomes stressful—the exact opposite of what I play Picross games for.

@Free5GuyerMiles @SaGa_NeilB On the one hand, denying third-party contractors dev build resources does lower the risk of leaks. On the other hand, leaks are an inherent risk any time you hire outsiders. Either you trust a contractor enough to hire them, or you don't.

English

Frequent Guyer Miles@Free5GuyerMiles·25 Oca

@SaGa_NeilB That and you see how the UI/text actually looks on-screen directly, and could catch UI/UX problems due to those issues. That and on third-parties, it eliminates another vector for game leaks.

Neil Broadley, SaGa Localization Director@SaGa_NeilB·25 Oca

There is no substitute for being able to check stuff on-screen in the localization process. The way a cutscene plays out can completely change how to interpret the text. That’s a why I like in-house translation teams: devs are often wary of giving builds to third-party vendors.

I...I might be a little on edge when I email my freelancers tomorrow. No reason. Do you think I can naturally work into conversation a way to ask them how many weapons they have at home? Having been a freelancer, my measly chef's knife suddenly makes me feel inadequate...

Merriam-Webster@MerriamWebster

Underestimate freelancers at your own peril. Originally, ‘freelance’ referred to a medieval mercenary who would fight for whichever nation or person paid them the most. Those tax forms must’ve been nuts to fill out.

@dramata1 There are Capcom Picross games? I want to play them now.

Some of the Capcom Picross game's puzzles are hard to guess when you're working on them. This one, though...

Christina 🌹@dramata1·29 Ara

@SaGa_NeilB I think about this a lot. It's why I do things like always try to write out game-related values as numeric characters to make them more easily parsed at a glance by both native and non-native EN readers. IE: "5 minutes" instead of "five minutes" (when minutes = in-game turns)

Neil Broadley, SaGa Localization Director@SaGa_NeilB·29 Ara

I have often come at odds with other EN localizers because I think the EN localization does need to recognize that our players are not just from America, England, and Australia. They are also from Sweden, the Czech Republic, Brazil, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia.

One unique responsibility of the EN localization is serving a wide audience. 90% of the FR players are French. Only around half my audience is native EN speakers, fewer than that American. EN is the most played version by those who don't have the game in their language. (1/2)

It's likely the former. There are precedents for Gundam manga with few to no mobile suits. gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Around_Th… twitter.com/UltraBoost1000…

@dramata1 drawing mecha optional... i wonder, would that mean stories with no robots, or connecting mangaka with robot artists?

Gundam Ace is looking for mangaka. Translating the requisites since it's an interesting look at the field. They're looking for someone with: - Industry experience - A love for Gundam - Bonus if you can draw mecha (optional) Those with no relevant experience can send a simple CV.
