did you guys watch the Pax west Sega conference?
they talked about the japanese to english localization process
and how much work it is, because a lot of the puns and jokes dont make any sense if you translate them 1:1.
so most of the time they have to come up with something different because otherwise we wouldnt get the joke at all.
they showed some examples and one of them was Yakuza 5 with 2.3 mil kanji letters in the original game
and they said thats comparable with the size of the bible x4.
holy hell.
