Treasure’s O.L.
Nice, she went from receptionist to accountant to translator. Hope she’s doing well in the industry since then.

Torment really does have one of the most That’s An Actual Guy box arts of 90s RPGs
4:3 feels basically square to me, but 3:4 (tate mode) feels really tall.
an internet person i knew in the early 00s who was appalled and disgusted at the announcement of the original final fantasy dissidia, that their precious and sacred rpg characters were going to be debased and degraded through appearing in a lowly fighting game for idiots
I knew someone who had the exact same reaction to Tales Of VS.
I was looking up some stuff about FF6’s script the other day and ran into a translation called the “Revised Old Standard Edition,” which is indistinguishable from the name of a Bible translation.
Sometimes think about how Black & White and Fable could have dealt with the moral hypocrisy of gods and heroes in a much more interesting way (or like, at all…) if put in more capable hands, but I guess Molyneux, young success story that he was, was basically doomed to a certain kind of crippling teenage boy brain that circles endlessly back around to ideas of the calibre of like “wouldn’t it be funny if you could abuse the animals?”
Nostalgia for Fable is incredibly strange to me, afaict it rests on Ultima 7 having been like completely unknown to console kids in 2004 so if you describe the most generic videogame imaginable and then it’s a bland action RPG with pretty mediocre interactivity everyone accepts it as the ur-game somehow
I don’t even like Ultima 7 that much but the whole series is like “what if we made progressively shittier Ultima 7?”
And I think a lot of people wrongly feel that way about any and all big budget productions. The saving grace for this one if there is to be any is that it could turn out to be very amusingly Little British, like the trailer being all about how you could get divorced dozens of times and ruin the local real estate market was very Partridgey
