This is the first time that Nintendo/TPCi let us review a Pokémon game ahead of launch. Maybe that's a weird thing to have any pride in at all, but as an indie site staying in our lane yet always striving for more, every opportunity we achieve feels good and I'll never take it for granted.

Much like Pokemon Legends: Arceus before it, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is a bold and unorthodox take on the series' formula, and yet more proof that Pokemon is better when it pushes the boundaries of what a Pokemon game can be. Our review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/18695-pokemon-legends-z-a-review

So they invited you to the Switch 2 launch event, but are not responding to review requests?

I usually keep my two lives separate from each other, but someone in the lab today came up to me unprompted and excitedly said he thought my games writing stuff was "super cool". I had no idea this guy was also an RPG-head. He said he loved Expedition 33 and was excited for Dragon Quest 1&2, lol.

But yeah even the Mana series Fandom wiki has numerous footnotes about the alternate fan translation names, as they were the English names many went by for years until there was an official translation.

I'm only with RPG Site (and have been for 13 years) because of a @zackreese.bsky.social tweet (Zack come to bluesky already)

Seiten Densetsu 3 and Trials of Mana come to mind. Nothing major but some town/location/characters names I still think of the classic fan translation first. Carlie vs Charlotte, etc.

Getting to that point in my tenure where I want to reference a prior email correspondence, and it's from a decade ago.

Not quite the same thing but I remember when an English dub had the super smart scientist character pronounce 'spectroscopy' wrong and it completely broke whatever believable immersion there was. Gotta get the facts (mostly) right!

I'm not sure about plans for their AAA stuff, but from my side of the fence, it does appear that they (1) are taking a little longer on DQ1&2 HD to make sure it is polished and (2) marketing it a bit more strongly due to DQ3's success.

Cliff notes seem to be:

* Life is Strange: Double Exposure was "a fairly substantial drag on our earnings as sales have been very poor".

* Final Fantasy XVI "did not reach the level of sales that we had targeted at the outset".

* DQ3HD exceeded expectations, which was already evident in the doc
