LOL. It's actually grabbed from the Japanese Mario Basketball trailer... Which is just as disturbing as Mario porn would be, actually.

I always assumed that was a picture of you, Kal.

So you're saying that people should not buy the game just because it got a budget localization? That's a bit extreme.

I'm sure that it was given a 7 based on, you know, the way it plays. Not on the quality of a translation that, in all likelihood, was probably a load of old crap in its native Japanese anyway.

It's an RPG with date sim elements. The dialog is pretty key to enjoyment. Having everyone talk like a robot with a broken dictionary kills it.

The menu asks you to change your 'equiptments' and if you want to 'undisplay' on screen text. "Fourth generation" gets translated as "force Generation" and is onscreen for a large portion of the game. From the tutorials that are hard to understand to the skill descriptions that are indecipherable, at every turn, the localisation interferes with immersion.

Wait and buy the US special edition disc (or get a US PSN account) which is getting a new translation.

Before, during or after ?

That does sound quite poor. I don't think I'd let it get in the way of me enjoying the game, but I can see why you'd be so annoyed by it.

Sure thing!

Stop it.
