I've never seen a localization handled with as much gross incompetence as this

On the bright side, Falcom will never do business with NISA ever again

This delay was obvious, the timeframe they outlined was ridiculous, especially since it included rerecording voiced lines.

I'm so glad they stol...outbid Xseed for this game, so they could fudge it up this badly.

This doesn't really raise my opinion of NISA in general, but it's an encouraging development. They need to expend time and resources if they want to put out a localization that's not terrible for once, and that's what it sounds like they're doing. Of course, the ideal is to do this from the start...

Can't say I'm surprised. I'll finish the game once the patch is out. Besides, I'm having too much fun with AC: O anyways.

I really hope so. They've should've stayed with Xseed (even if they offered lower bid).

thankfully it seems they will still do business with Xseed as they just released Zwei and the Legend of heroes games are doing pretty well for a niche series (Cold steel 3 and Zero no kiseki please)

It's situations like this that people sometimes resort to pirated fan translations.

This was obvious. No way they were going to finish in the original time period.
