Lolcalizations

Can they ever be forgivable to the players?

Nothing boils my blood hotter than American localizers.

It's ok if
a) Nintendo or Square Enix do it
b) The game is popular with ironic weebs
c) It adds memes I like

Just to get this out of the way, consider this post the generic reply to all instances of "just learn Japanese" about to be posted:
yeah I will, but I'm still gonna shit on localizers

right is better and i have never stepped foot on the north american continent

Not really. There's tons of ironic weebs that will defend certain localizations to death.

these make shitty western localizations look way better than they actually were lol

This sounds all too real eh capcom?

And here's the worst one yet.

I never got the point of localization. How is turning a generic kawaii scrimblo into a radicool dude meant to be more consumer-friendly?

The ultimate irony is that Japanese warrior themed games basically never got changed either.

Poor Lip...

Who exactly were they trying to market to with this? In the mid 2000s no less.
Right looks like some Game Mill shovelware shit.

Don't worry, Tetris company ironically enough made sure she got her revenge

What's funny is tht most of them basically became real Persona characters anyway.

I remember the original having even worse tryhard text, i made a template, lets go nuts.

I like the PAL Contra.

Just stop being an autistic loser and localizations won’t be a problem anymore. You Japanese translated literally won’t make sense in English, right? It has to be adjusted to cross the language barrier. Learn Japanese and you’d understand that instead of complaining worse than Facebook women.

you look pretty radical dude, thats a pretty bodacious do' you got there!

It doesn't exactly need paragraphs of text for people to get the joke.

This really doesn't make any sense to me
Charizard was already the cover boy, and is a fucking dragon. How the fuck do you think that doesn't sell itself and needs a complete and total art redesign to be viable in the west?

I’d play both

>Sucked out everyone's melanin and gave it Masao
For what reason

Why are Germans like this?

Yes, boss. Our marketing team suggests the target demographic for this software is girls ages 6-12. Analytics show that previously Bratz and barbie are more popular with them than video games. This art style is that gross japanese kiddie porn thing so advertising has suggested we redraw the cover art to appeal to their core tastes. Make sure theres a few colored girls on the front too just so we can appeal to all demographics. Release is still set for Q4? Launch it at markdown price so maybe it will sell as a stocking stuffer. Hate that we had to pick up this garbage in the licensing agreement for that bigger title that will actually sell. If we can even make up 75% of the cost on this one we can at least appease the board of execs.

If you squint a little, you'll notice many of the design sensibilities seen in the gen 4, gen 7 and gen 8 "cool" pokemon in that little charizard sketch. Stuff like the mega evolutions and ultra beasts clearly borrow from the same school of design.

i want to fuck the skater twinks on the right

because, despite being a dragon, charizard isn't a rebellious teenager, and therefore isn't cool enough for the kids these days. but by giving him a tard grin, he gains the rebellious teenager aesthetic that's sure to appeal to all the kids who want to skip school to play more video games

I like both.

reminds me of this

>Never a Fantranslation

That's the biggest irony. The western box arts always touted themselves as far more edgy and cool. But the western games themselves were censored to hell and back

I bet the localizers shut the fuck so hard and never questioned literally anything again after the game actually came out.

>Reverse Localization

How many times that happened?

This was the 90s Japanese games were heavily altered at the time to remove all hints it was made in Japan and make it RADICAL and XTREME for Westerners

The localizers on twitter strike again right on cue. Just missing the anime pfp.

Japanese boondocks is hilarious to listen to because its a bunch of moonspeak and then you hear NIGGA

I guess this.

Parasites always try and justify their existence. It's like how the Famicom had to be "remade" for the US market, same with the SuFami. The more you can act like the foreign product needs a lot of work to be brought over, the more money you can make off of changing it.

What game is Square Enix supposed to be parodying?

Say what you will about FFVII, but I'm glad it was the killing blow we needed to get rid of this kind of shit

It's crazy because VII's localization is terrible.
