I know it's not perfect, that was my first try, only a proof of concept thing.
I used this font by MapleRose, so I can stay consistent with the new Hai!/Yes! shout.
AFAIK, there has been no word that there will ever be an official localization of the game. For now, it seems to be Japan-only.What is the point of this project? This game will receive an official localization a lot sooner than a fan translation would take to be completed.
It's a major Ace Attorney title, not a spin-off. It's a given that it will be released in the west.AFAIK, there has been no word that there will ever be an official localization of the game. For now, it seems to be Japan-only.

Waaaait for it.Why didn't they announce it then ? Usually they do.
Well sir i dont know if it will receive a localization or not but translating it wont take anywhere near as long as you seem to think. Normally localizations of games happen in a year or two. Look at the fire emblem if translation. Look at the progress they have already made.What is the point of this project?

You are delusional. Fan translatots have RLs too. They will never be as fast as official translators. Plus there is a high risk of C&D from Capcom, so all effort would be for nothing.Well sir i dont know if it will receive a localization or not but translating it wont take anywhere near as long as you seem to think.

Now this game is full of dialogue but so was if. And if i remember correctly if is halfway done. 18 chapters so far. The prequel then 6 chapters on both paths.
So with a dedicated team it can get done faster than a localization and these guys/gals seem pretty dedicated to me.
Of course the fans won't be as quick with their translations, but you know what? DGS has not received any news of being localized for the west. PLvAA wasn't released in the west until two years after it was in Japan. None of us want to wait for Capcom to do that. It's better to let these guys give us a near translation for our enjoyment. Plus, it's not like this translation is getting a lot of press release all over so I doubt that Capcom would send a cease and desist letter for a translation over this one game. If companies wanted to do that then the Fire Emblem if translation would be gone because of their translation.You are delusional. Fan translatots have RLs too.

for a country made of colonization and " illegal migration",I don't know how some people in USA can STILL be so much xenophobic lolBut the translation of Investigations 2 was not C&D'd from Capcom... So it seems safe to do the translation. And localization seems weird, cause they think because of the japanese theme, it won't sell..
I don't think that's xenophobia, it is just ignorance.for a country made of colonization and " illegal migration",I don't know how some people in USA can STILL be so much xenophobic lol
I think it have a little chance to be localzied but you know, they can't make make japan as los angeles now :B but there's also old english themed so I think it have some chace... they love to make europen reference bigger than what already have (like pokemon XY lol)
well cases and cases,even the average don't knowing it could be a reason to start being curious and learning about... not saying that everything mus be 100% like the original, but at least the general context, come on at least when they are making something about that culture they could make some research, but no : teenage mutant ninja turtles > "ninja turtles" that fight kung fu, okey ... Karate kid! that also fight kung fu style ... making deference to Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan in pokemon names, both of then perform kunf fu, the pokemon they are referencing don't ... come on these kind of stuff could be instructive , not just random entertainment lol random fighting style : KUNG FU YEAH ....It's it's like they are teaching the stuff wrong ...I don't think that's xenophobia, it is just ignorance.
The average person in the west doesn't know much about Japanese pop, culture and history, other than a couple of cliches perhaps, so they start missing references and jokes and the game turns boring because they can't follow.
If you think that the average player just wants to enjoy a video game without needing to take lectures about foreign culture it makes sense.
The reason they change things introducing more European cliches into the story and jokes is, I think, the average western casual gamer is more familiar with that.
Investigations 2 was a spin-off whose predecessor was a commercial failure in the west, so they never had plans for a localization to begin with, hence why no C&D.But the translation of Investigations 2 was not C&D'd from Capcom... So it seems safe to do the translation. And localization seems weird, cause they think because of the japanese theme, it won't sell..

Wasn't the Great Ace Attorney released just recently in Japan? I assume they wanted to wait how well it will be received domestically.Well if The Great Ace Attorney was going to be localized why hasn't it been announced? They just announced AA6 and the localization as well. Looks like they skipped it.
