They could have just been honest and said Bruno in Japan was John McClane, and they didn't want to get sued by Fox. Ah well.

'Chris Makise'? Really? It's Makise Kurisu, nicknamed Christina by Okabe.

You got it backwards. In Japan Bruno has always been Bruno; he was John McClane outside of Japan for the first Dynamite Deka (a.k.a. Die Hard Arcade). |

Yeah, but in Japan it's obvious he was supposed to be McClane. Has the wifebeater and Project X Zone's VA for Bruno is the same guy that dubs Bruce Willis' voice into Japanese. |

5pb, the original publishers, give it as 牧瀬紅莉栖, in kanji. I can't find evidence that 紅莉栖 is really a Japanese name, however -- Googling it just returns references to that character. She would probably have gone by "Chris" in the US, though. Was she supposed to be half-Japanese, half-American? Most of the characters in Steins;Gate have unrealistic eye colors for Japanese. |

http://steinsgate.tv/character/chris.html This isn't the most official source, but yeah. I think it's safe to guess that it's meant to be Chris and that it isn't a traditional Japanese name no matter what kanji you use. |

Project X Zone: Let me just say that this is one of the best games we've gotten localized this year. Buy it, play it and prove we love these crossover ideas, people (even if Japan doesn't).
Mamoru-kun Curse!: Todd, I'm just curious, but do you ever stop saying "big-eyed" to generically describe anime character designs or what? It's gotten really stale over the years. Shin Megami Tensei IV:
Don't you mean the Narrow-minded Higher Ups of the 90s? Good thing fools like them don't exist anymore and games can be far less censored than before (though I know it still happens with stuff like Catherine and Mugen Souls). I can't believe how talk of anything having to do with gods, demons or devils got everyone so up in arms back then. It's hilarious and pathetic. Time and Eternity: I've already seen tremendous disappointment from others with this game. They said it's an idea that "really could have been better than this" as they described the things they found wrong with it. In fact, from everyone I asked, I don't think I've heard one positive thing about this game. I don't know what to make of it personally. Is it really that bad?

Ergh, actually *reading* the entry rules more clearly now (I somehow skipped over that last paragraph in the contest section of last week's column), I messed up so bad on the first Persona 5 entry I sent. That ended up being over two pages single-spaced, definitely over 200 words, and I sent it in a couple days ago. Uh, Todd, can I send in a revised and shortened edition of my essay?
(And I took a few good hours on it too....) |

If JAST could finish their Starless translation before doing Steins;Gate, that'd be greaaat.

I wouldn't say it was as bad as people make it into to be. Epoch overhyped the game when it was the first attempt, fans bought, without thinking it was their first attempt, and well....outcome was less than pretty. The game itself, well, it's rough to be brief. There's a lot of interesting ideas and concepts but it feels like there wasn't enough polish. The story, while unique at the start, starts to become kind of repetitive with pacing issues. The combat's...okay. I'd say if you go in with low expectations and don't buy into the hype people placed on it, you might have a bit of fun with it. Sadly, because of the sales, I doubt we're ever going to get something similar that actually attempts to fix the flaws. |

I absolutely love Project X Zone. I'm almost done with it and this is the first RPG I think I've ever played where I really don't care who gets the final hit on a boss, they are all worthy to become the OP characters for the next map. Even the characters from games I've never played like God Eater and Resonance of Fate are super badass. Also, it feels like those pre-battle conversations have unique ones for every single different combination you can make, which is like in the hundreds, and they are all really fun.

Truthfully, I watched MasterLL's playthrough of the Japanese version a while back on YouTube and I have to say I got bored with each new video. I guess you were right about going in with low expectations. It really was overhyped, wasn't it? Shame on me for buying into it with those early screenshots. |
