This isn't a first! Judgement was originally called "Judge Eye" and was changed to "Judgement" in the localisation. For the sequel, Lost Judgement, they went with that even in the original version, scrapping "Judge Eyes" entirely Also on Judgement, the icons for the styles in the original were just kanji with the name of the style, but in the english version not only were they renamed but also got brand new art for the icons. For Lost Judgement, the icons featured the art instead of the names, as well as new art for the new styles RGG isn't afraid to learn from their own localisation!!
@@Gon-hx4df The style icons for Zero were also Kanji in the JP release, and the yellow box art for Like A Dragon was originally made by Sega of America. It became the international release box art, and it's _iconic!_
@@Gon-hx4df I still really hate that change. Judge Eyes just sounds cooler. Like a proper crime drama. "Judgement" just sounds like generic American naming scheme for when a company is too afraid to make their product sound interesting, so they give it a one-word name to entice people who will never care and still don't.
I love this actually. Localization guy A is like “What if you changed it so the command menu spelled out SEGA?” and localization guy B is like “Dammit John, that’s a great idea, let’s make it spell SEGA.” Beautiful.
@@Periwinkleaccount seems it's some quote from the series "10 years in the joint made you a fuckin pussy" that's been memed to hell and back by the community, just googling the phrase brings up plenty of results on its own lol
after I saw this video I had a dream I was telling a friend this newly learned fact and when they booted the game up it had been reverted back to "more" and I looked like a lunatic
@@velvetbutterfly Nick made a video about a challenge in Animal Crossing called Gulliver's Travails that had a typo misspelling "Kindness" as "Kindess" and as Nick does, went through an absurd amount of effort documenting and petitioning for it to be corrected (which it did!)
Bro I remember vividly when I tried yakuza like a dragon I thought etc. Was a bit of an odd choice, but this explanation of the lore makes it totally valid why it’s there Also the short form videos I think ye should continue they are quite good.
I'm happy to see that you're starting a shorter format for more frequent videos! I had no idea this was a thing, there's so much gaming BTS info that it's impossible to keep up these days. 😁👌
Not gonna lie, even with the whole concept of "localization" of eastern games going down the shitter in the eyes of hobbyists lately (for good reason), I still can't help but crack a smile at such a subtle but brilliant in-joke for SEGA fans. It's not getting in the way of story, scenario or character portrayal out of some sense of self superiority. It's just a bunch of gaming nerds, appealing to fellow gamers in a wink wink nudge nudge fashion that's very blink and you'll miss it. I love it
That's awesome! I worked with Scott on the English localizations of some Yakuza titles and this is very much on brand for him. Awesome guy who for sure tried to cram every great thing into each title he could.
I played one for about 30 minutes, couldn't get into it. Thought I'd like it cause it reminds me of Shenmue which I used to love though its a bit too slow paced for me.
Here is a challenge. (Yeah you ain’t gonna see this but worth a shot) Get ahold of the offical unreleased Mother 3 Demo for the Nintendo 64 DD revealed only in Spaceworld. This is a relic that barely anyone got to see. You seem to be good at finding this stuff out. And hey another excuse to go to Japan again. Just a thought to consider.
Honestly as a game developer I really appreciate how people in industry help each other to make better games for people around the world. It's so heartwarming. I'm glad they did their best and put changes as quick as possible. Also thank you for telling us this cool story!
Similarly, the Fallout series almost didn't use SPECIAL. According to Tim Cain it was thought up almost too late to make it into the first game, but they changed a few things around and it's been like that ever since.
you are so entertaining! you got me full focused on a game ive never ever heard of, i just started watching you yesterday BECAUSE OF penguinz0's livestream with your video on the McDonalds DSi game, your editing is so good and entertaining and you would be so much bigger if it wasnt for short-term videos brainrotting younger kids lmao.
The more Nick videos the better. I love the long form stuff but I’m just happy to see an upload honestly. With shorter stuff it would be cool to hit the 10 minute mark but with something this small it’s understandable not to drag it on needlessly. I often comeback to your channel between uploads hoping there’s something new because with all my notifs the videos don’t regularly end up in my recommendations likely due to the lack of frequency of uploads. I love your videos man keep it up.
More videos, regardless of length, is a win as far as I'm concerned. To paraphrase a wise person: drink a beer and watchin so much nick youtube video on the computer. The ideal
I'm here for the short form content. As long as the topic is interesting (which it always is), it could be any length of video and I'll still check it out.
another great video nick! I'd love to see more of the small videos like this in between your longer videos, I've always liked your channel and think there isn't much else like it on RU-vid
I mean if they’re smart (and by Yakuza 7 they should be) all it should take is changing something like `option_b_title: “More”` to `option_b_title: “Etc.”` and then follow up with some QA and a few beta testing sessions to see if enough people understand it.
Hi nick! Not sure if you'll see this but I'm just saying I appreciate you and am super excited for the longer vids! Your content has been a huge anxiety reliever of mine since university, and it's been a stressful few weeks at my job, but I'm ultra excited for more vids from you! Appreciate ya!
Hey! I'm a video game writer myself. Tiny interesting tidbit. As this change is text-only as in no voice recording required and also probably only happens to be a change in English, 6 months out is a fairly comfortable buffer (depending on how the rest of the development went of course) I heard somewhere that Baldurs Gate 3 changed some voice lines a day before their early access release so they had to record it on the same day, localise it to several languages and then patch it in within 24 hours. I think they had to patch in some translations a little later but oh my god my hands are getting sweaty just thinking about it. Nice story Nick! Thanks for the content!
I would like to see short videos between feature length deep dives. This way I can enjoy more your content without planning around fitting your video in my schedule. By my schedule I mean I need to wait to do laundry to watch your longer videos.
I'm doing a no MP challenge of LAD right now, and I instinctively _knew_ that More was incorrect. The amount of times I've had to hit it for items or Poundmates, but never looked at it properly, is insane lol
I wish Nick would come back to talk about Super Monkey Ball since Banana Rumble just came out! I want to hear his take on it.. buuuut yeah. Its Switch only BS
