Re: Random: Hades In French Adds Lots Of Puns, And Makes Hypnos Extra-Sleazy

Thank you so much for talking about such a fun under-explored part of video game localization.
We hear a lot about Japanese > English localization, but there's so much to say about what's out there, this is so exciting.

As a french speaker, I don't have any problem with the "vous" + "genre"/like, as it reminds me of the way a teenager talks to his/her teacher. With the formal "vous" that you're used to, but still talking your heart and not really realizing that you're maybe a bit too familiar.
Funny how a single choice can change a characterization!

Thanks again for that article.

Re: Persona 5 Strikers Launches On Switch In The West In February, New Trailer And Screenshots

@NoxAeturnus There's no proof on exclusivity, no open deal or anything like that.
It is possible that such a deal exists (and for example the Persona 4 deal expired before coming to PC) or, and I think it's more probable, there's just a strong relationship between Sony and Atlus just like you said.

Either way, if Persona 4 & 5 aren't on Switch right now it's very probably because of the history between Sony and Atlus and not the Switch's power.

Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Will Launch With A Day-One Update

@Thannus It makes people feel like the game was not delivered finished as debugging kept going after print.
Also for (hybrid-)portables like the Switch that means when you play just after getting out of the store you play the bugged 1.0 version and have to wait before playing what you feel is the "real" release.

But ultimately I agree, quick updates are good. I do not long the days of 3DS Pokémon games with days of fear caused by save-erasing bugs
