Whenever these "localization" situations occur, you'll inevitably see them claim that the change is not "significant". This is a method of conditioning you to accept it. However, if a change isn't significant, there is no reason to make it at all.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride first hit the west on this day in 2009. This DS remake was the first version of this game to get an English localization - the SNES and PS2 releases were Japan-only.

So after playing the P5S Demo the other day (Loved it to bits btw). I started thinking about when P5S will come out in the west. They probably don't want to announce the localization before P5R comes out so I'm guessing they'll announce it in April for a July or August release

Ace Attorney Investigations 2 released on this day in 2011. The second spin-off starring Miles Edgeworth. The DS title would be ported to iOS and Android in 2017, but neither version has had a western release, but industrious fans put together a localization of their own.

"Localization" is one of the worst things to ever happen to video games. These idiots have never been able to resist keeping their dumb references out of other people's work, it's only gotten worse since they've shifted to inserting social issues.

It was a tough choice but I really love doing the voice for Setsuka in the English localization of SDRA2.
