While Megami Meguri is a free-2-play title, it will see a physical release in Japan via the “Complete Edition” and the “Collector’s Box”. Today, Capcom detailed the contents of the Collector’s Box a bit more via Gamer.ne.jp (credit to Perfectly Nintendo for the translation. Other than some physical goodies, it will also contain 20 jewels, the in-game currency that allows you to do various things such as:

• “cheat” during the game’s board game section, for example allowing you to teleport to other locations or influence the dice rolls
• open more than once treasure box at once
• retake one trials at a lower difficulty should you fail them

Here are the rest of the Collector Box’s contents:

• Megami Meguri collector’s packaging
• Special art book (A4 size, 36 pages. Includes illustrations for Mikumo, the Seven Pillars Goddesses, interview/comments from the developers, storyboards for the opening animation, artworks of Tsukumo’s expressions, and more)
• Original soundtrack CD
• A1-size “Summer-style Tsukumo” cloth poster
• Download code for five exclusive costumes: “Relaxing Room Wear,” “Cute Maid,” “Attending Shrine Maiden Costume,” “Book Girl Sailor Outfit,” and “Wedding Dress”

The long-awaited release of the Pokemon Sun & Moon is finally happening tomorrow, Tuesday the 18th. However, we’re not quite sure about the exact time of the demo’s release. Now, Nintendo of Europe’s press release for this week’s eShop update has shed some light on the matter. According to that, the demo will be released “late morning” – so about 24 hours from now, roughly.

However, it’s quite possible that some parts of the world will get their hands on it earlier – unless it’s a worldwide simultaneous release, Japan and Australia will likely get the demo a bit earlier than that, should the demo also see a “late morning” release in their time zones. We will keep you updated should any further info be released beforehand.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition, which is an updated re-release of the original game, is apparently being released a month later than originally announced. Both Amazon and Gamestop are listing the game’s release date as November 22nd, as opposed to the initially announced October 25th.

Of course, this is not an official confirmation just yet, but since the original release date is just 11 days away, we should know for sure one way or another pretty soon. We will keep you updated.

The Dragon Quest VII remake for 3DS has finally made it to Western shores, and while Nintendo published it, the localization was done by Shloc Ltd., a small localization team based in the UK. Nintendo UK interviewed Shloc’s Oli Chance about the localization process of Dragon Quest VII. Make sure to read the full interview on Nintendo UK’s website; here are some interesting tidbits from it:

Nintendo: How much work is involved in bringing a game like DRAGON QUEST VII to the west?

OC: As you might expect, the amount of work involved was pretty huge, but in order to keep quality as high as possible, we had to keep the teams as small as possible. There were four, and at times five, of us working on the Japanese to English localisation, and then once French, Italian, German and Spanish got involved a while later, it became a massive task both in terms of workload and logistics.

All in all, from start to finish, including familiarisation (playing the game to get to know it – no small task in this case), glossary creation (naming all the characters, places, monsters, items etc. etc.), translation/editing and QA, we were working pretty much flat out for just over a year.

One of the hardest things was to put enough time in the schedule for the editor of each language to see all the text, which in our experience is the only way to ensure consistency and quality throughout. You can throw a lot of translators at a job, but if there’s no one making sure they’re all working to spec and that quality is as high as it can be across the board, then things can easily go awry.

Nothing quite compares to DQVII. It’s one thing to contemplate taking on a job this size, and quite another to be four months in, knowing there are months left to go, and that if your pace falters, you could send the entire project off-schedule in five languages.

Without doubt the biggest challenge was keeping up such a heavy workload over such a long time, and making sure that quality didn’t suffer as a result. This is where having a team who know each other so well is essential – if we hadn’t been there to back each other up and give each other’s morale a kick when needed, I don’t think we could have done it.

Nintendo: What would you say is the essence of the DRAGON QUEST brand from a writing perspective and how did you aim to preserve this in your localisation?

OC: From the point of view of writing, I think it’s characters that carry the series, and as such, the main aim is always to make the characters memorable, likable and unique. Given that the series has featured so many games with so many great characters, this becomes more and more of a challenge over time, but it’s a challenge we relish, and one which can often prove highly rewarding.

As long as we can keep the characters knowable and individual and lovable, the world hopefully stays bright and alive. In DQVII specifically, this meant going right down to the level of individual NPCs and making sure that any game-spanning characterisation or story they had was fun, engaging and above all consistent. This was a massive endeavour, but it was what was done in the original Japanese, so it’s absolutely something we have to make sure happens in the English in order to create a faithful localisation.

Square Enix’s “Bravely” series, represented on the 3DS with Bravely Default and Bravely Second, celebrates its 4th anniversary in Japan today. The official Twitter account for the series posted the picture seen above today – the text in the Tweet reads “It’s Bravely’s 4th anniversary! News have been scarce lately. There may be something soon?!”.

While there’s no way to know for sure right now, a “Bravely Third” game for 3DS is quite possible. Bravely Second left some plot threads unresolved, after all.

We will keep you updated.
