can i be real with you guys. the last upload (a new era, posted on amazingphil) did the opposite of what uploads usually do. and by that i mean like. usually when they upload there's an overall fandom-wide calming effect because we can see what they've been up to.
when they go a long time between videos we get. intense. about what they might be doing behind the scenes. usually new uploads relieve the building tension.
but the calming effect only works when the video takes more than minimal time and energy to create. that q&a could've been a liveshow!!!
out of seven uploads since may 17th, only 2 have not been reaction/q&a videos: the golden piggening & the drinking game, both of which were sponsored. it is so, SO abundantly clear that their time and energy has been focused elsewhere.
so every time we get a new low complexity upload it just makes the not knowing harder to bear. what the FUCK are they up to!!!!! this q&a just made things so much worse to bear!

Some Mountain and Ifrit fluff because i feel people kinda forget Mountain was also part of the Popestar ghouls and I need more of those two interacting.
Mountain's lips twitch up when the smell of cedar and caramel fills his nostrils, a second before strong arms wrap around his waist from behind.
"Hello, Ifrit. Everything alright ?"
The fire ghoul pushes his forhead between Mountain's shoulderblades with a small noise. It's an awfully warm day, everyone sweating bullets, and yet Mountain wouldn't dream of pushing Ifrit off him, as hot - in every ways- as he is, the fire ghoul's skin feeling like he laid down under the sun for hours.
Still bent over a wooden table in the greenhouse, Mountain checks one last time the state of the struggling plant he attempted to save for the better part of the day, before straightening and turning around in Ifrit's hold despite the fire ghoul's dramatic whining.
They both realize how the other is dressed at the same time, eyes raking up and down the other's frame.
Well, as for Ifrit, "dressed" is a generous word. In nothing but very short bright pink shorts with the ghost logo printed on the ass, hidding absolutely nothing, the fire ghoul looks positively slutty.
"Why are you dressed like those oversexualized characters in action movies ?"
Ifrit snorts.
"Just missing the shirt tied in a knot right under my huge tiddies, uh ? 's comfy. You're one to talk, looking like a victorian wet dream."
Mountain glances down at his brown pants, held by leather suspenders over a widely opened flowy white shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and admits to himself that he does look nice.
"Point taken. Is there something I can do for you, firebird ?"
Ifrit grins, retrieving a bag he probably dropped to hug Mountain, from which he extirpates a reusable bottle with lemons and daises doodled on it. With a flourish, he hands it to the earth ghoul.
"Lemonade. Zephyr made it. They thought you'd be thirsty, working your ass off in that weather."
The bottle is blissfully cold in Mountain's hands, probably kept that way by the air ghoul's doing, but he doesn't even have time to thank anyone before a box is shoved in his arms.
"And that's from me. Cupcake. Pistacchio and raspberries. Fresh out the oven. They're still a bit hot though, so you can wait to eat them since it's like, so freaking hot already, but anywa-"
Mountain cuts Ifrit off with a kiss, tasting the raspberries the fire ghoul indoubtably snatched while cooking directly from his lips.
When Mountain leans back with a smug smirk, Ifrit just blinks at him, mouth hanging half opened and cheeks flushed.
"...what was that for ?"
Dragging Ifrit toward an old bench, Mountain huffs.
"That was a thank you."
With a wheezing laugh, Ifrit sits right after Mountain, not questioning the manhandling for a second.
"Remind me to cover you in gifts then."
The box of cupcakes is swiftly opened, filling the greenhouse with its mouth-watering smell, bottle uncapped just as quickly.
"We're sharing this," Mountain anounces.
Ifrit opens his mouth to protest, but the earth ghoul is faster, shoving a cupcake in the fire ghoul's mouth before any sound can be uttered. Only barely avoiding to drop it, green frosting smeared on his nose and upper lips, Ifrit cackles, nearly slipping off the bench and dragging Mountain with him in his attempt to keep his balance.
"You- mrgh - absolute bastard," the fire ghould chuckles in between bites.
The lemonade tastes divine in the suffocating atmosphere of the sun-drenched afternoon, the cupcakes a welcome sweetness after long hours of work, but better than anything, Mountain thinks, is Ifrit smiling soft and tender at him, eyes crinkling in the corners, his laughter bouncing off the greenhouse's glass panels.

Company that does the translation could potentially be DokiDoki Grooveworks Their website says they handle development and operations of EN SEKAI. If they don’t translate it they probably have control over who gets to translate it.
But there’s also the possibility that the marketing team and developers don’t use the same translators. Or the marketing team has no translators and are provided with translations. Which might explain why the post had wiki names if the marketing team never got the official ones.
Whatever the case SEGA really needs better quality control
Sorry for the incredibly late response to this ask, I've been doing some digging recently trying to work out exactly what is going so wrong behind the scenes of ensekai and remembered this ask. Anyway yes, I believe you're right. That company can be found in the credits in game as well. It's an interesting case actually, because they aren't listed anywhere else in game like on the title or website despite the fact they're seemingly the devs for ensekai like the actual devs instead of SoA as I'd assumed previously. Also weird that this company doesn't have an english branch and this is the only english game they have worked on. Ensekai's in-game credits are annoyingly subpar so I don't know if they did the translations or if they just handle dev stuff? Because sega handles the helpdesk and most other things about the game like the socials and exclusive contents.
