Surprised to see The Big Catch game presented among several Japanese RPGs. Hope this means the 3D platformer will get a wider release in retail stores instead of just a short amount of time available on a select few limited game websites. Though I'm only referring to a physical version of the game. Digital copies will likely be super easy to get.

I guess the stock of story of seasons and rune factory has fallen given the steam indies have proven they can take over the mantle and improve on it. Especially since story of seasons has not been able to escape the whirlpool of mineral town.

Rune Factory 5 was not well received on release and it didn't help that XSEED themselves convinced Marvelous to focus on things like overhauling the game to include same sex marriage over bug fixes and adding additional content for the players upset about those things in Japan. No idea if that's related to XSEED now being off the franchise now or if the next Rune Factory will be different as a result. I've mostly stuck with the SNES Harvest Moon given I prefer sprite-based over the 3D models which I don't find very appealing. No idea if the recent games were received well or not. |

"Marvelous USA" and "XSEED Games" are, internally, the same group of people. They're just different labels used for publishing games that were developed by Marvelous Japan vs. third-party developers. The only reason the name "XSEED" was kept around after their acquisition was because of brand recognition and fan loyalty, but the decision behind which name to apply to which games they released was fairly arbitrary; it just makes sense to have a clear distinction now. And for what it's worth, although the anti-LGBT crowd loves to blame XSEED for whatever problems they perceived in RF5, the series' directory, Shiro Maekawa, pushed for the inclusion of gay marriage internally and said in an interview with Game Informer that they intend to keep the feature in future entries. |

TBH This has been a long time coming they lost Falcom and other companies playing piggyback to Marvelous. Cant wait to see where this goes now. I want them to bring over a lot of new stuff. We dont need AI for localizations theres only a handful of 'woke' localize artists in the industry same for anime. It hurts the credit of the company because a data breach can kill them. Rival steals training data and your favorite company is dead. Its that easy. weed out the crazy versus going AI we dont need it because of words that go agianst TOS but yea. The people writing these dont know jack about English. You got a Indian or Arab person writing the training software. Broken English Japanese person is google translating it possible wrong. Thats getting feed into the AI. Ai is a centipede eating tis own poop. Long story short script translation and script localizer are different jobs in anime and games versus manga and LN. |
