Dragon Quest producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto recently spoke in an interview about wanting to localize all Dragon Quest games in the series, specifically mentioning the Dragon Quest VII 3DS port. Here’s what he had to say in a recent TechnoBuffalo interview:

For a game like Dragon Quest VII for 3DS, Koshimizu (Director of Localization) and Inoue (Head Translator) noted that “the sheer volume is what presents the greatest challenge” to localization. That involves a great level of consistency between the team of translators and coordinators, who need to know the game intimately before attempting a localization.

Fujimoto added that for Dragon Quest VII, the translation process itself would take at least a year to complete. But easing the workload isn’t a simple matter of distributing it among as many translators as possible.

“Each translator has his or her own style, and the more we add, the harder it becomes to maintain consistency on the whole,” he said. “We rely on a small group of highly talented writers to produce a superior translation, which is then handed to the editor, who sees to it the feeling and fun of the story never falters, from start to finish.”

What do you think, would you like to see them start the localization process even if it won’t be finished until much further down the line? You can check out what else he had to say here

The latest issue of Jump confirms that Cecil from Final Fantasy IV, Vaan from Final Fantasy XII, and Tifa and Aerith from Final Fantasy VII will be included in Final Fantasy Explorers. Cecil’s attacks will change depending if he’s in Dark Knight or Paladin mode.

Lastly, we have a quick update on summons. Alexander and Diabolos will both be in Final Fantasy Explorers.

Last week we detailed some information on the incredibly in depth Final Fantasy Explorers lite version, the demo for the eShop that will be released some time before the full game. More information surfaced today that much like the Bravely Default demo, things from the demo such as battle items, abilities, gil and crystal points will be inherited by characters in the final release. At the moment this only applies to the Japanese version but we suspect this will find it’s way west as we get closer to that release.
