XSEED done working on Story of Seasons’ translation and editing
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
XSEED’s localization for Story of Seasons is coming to a close. The company has completed translations and editing work. Story of Seasons only requires some QA work to address bugs and preserve the personality of each character.
XSEED said in a new blog post:
“Besides all of the above, the QA process is also about preserving each character’s voice, making sure they speak in a consistent manner from scene to scene. That’s doubly important in a non-linear game like this one, where the script files aren’t always in any particular order, and where multiple localizers sometimes have to take turns writing the same character.”
