>character's name is Laura
>localizers: let's change it to Lora for no reason lmao
Why? Just fucking why?
It doesn't add anything to the character, it doesn't make it easier for westerners to pronounce, it's just a completely pointless change, so why?

Majority of Xenoblade 2 localization was just made up rushed nonsense. It really hurt it to me IMO.

Localizers get paid by the edit.

Remember Esty Dee?

>character name is Endou
>localizers change it to Jelly Donuts for some reason
Holy shit

>Japan & Europe: Sayaka
>NA: Yumi
>Korea: Amy

>Ende and Ceres? What gayshit is that, change the names to Aeron and Elena

What fucking fags

>>714513312
Tina was intended to sound exotic to the JP players. Tina is a common name over here.

people remember two syllable names more, if you have a cast with more than 3 syllables then it is easy to lose track. if you think otherwise then you havent seen foreign films (anime doesnt count)

>concept artist: lets give this character a cute thematic pantsu to complete her look
>modelers: let's change it to a black void for no reason lmao
Why? Just fucking why?

>>714515225
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

>>714515543
That's so weird. There are characters who wear less. Newt is in lingerie. Lora is explicitly over the age of 25, why do this?

You've been so angry /v/. Here, have a jelly donut

>>714516045
Rub a dub dub!

>>714515716
That doesn't make it wrong

>>714515924
idk but I'm still seething about it years later

The localizer is a gay man in charge of leading an industrial revolution

I remember my dad taking my sister and I to Japan for a business trip and he laughed his ass off when we found out what rice balls normally had as ingredients

>>714516543
rice? umeboshi?

>>714515924
>why do this?
CERO started scrutinizing pantyshots even in games where the camera angles should never present them, since they know someone will find a way around the restriction

>>714512915
>its this retard again
post your entire 'pictures of men' folder, retard KEK

>>714513312
>no reason
retard

Probably to make it less a normal name and more fantastical.
Its a common problem in fantasy that some names sound too modern even if they're ancient. Like Tiffany for example

>>714512350 (OP)
It was way worse in Dragon Quest 1.
The princess was called Laura and got renamed to Gwaelin for the west.
Also Schala from Chrono Trigger was called Sara in Japan.

>>714518292
Both good changes.

>>714516284
still cute

>>714512350 (OP)
Nintendo can't trademark Laura

>>714512350 (OP)
Laura is an exotic name to Japs, but for the west, it's just a plain ordinary name.

You wouldn't shoot this QT would you?

>>714512350 (OP)
Does she pilot a giant robot with a mustache?

>>714512350 (OP)
That's just Gran.

>>714517808
????

>>714520540
hell yeah I would

>>714522135
I kind of want to look at the history of this game's development. I'm really, REALLY loving XC2 right now but between the censored dialogue and inconsistent changes, I'm curious what the thought process was

>>714512350 (OP)
Laura is a western name to begin with.

>>714522135
you may look up interviews for yourself about developers and cero, you won't be convinced by anything i say
i am "owned" by you, apparently

>>714520119
Real?

>>714515225
>(anime doesnt count)
why?

did she die a virgin?

>>714522135
Why does a robot need panties?

>>714523771
>Lora
Sadly yes

>Haze
Haze did but Fan La Norne was Amalthus's toy for 500 years

>>714512350 (OP)
I wish I knew Japanese only for this game. Localization was physically painful.
