I found a thread complaining about castle shikigami 2’s localization. All the typical weebs who complain about things not being “just translated.” There’s even a post complaining that even using a synonym instead of the original word is bad. Like BRO

Castle Shikigami 2 is literally translated. It is translated word-by-word as if the translator only had a dictionary. It is exactly what you’re asking for and yeah! It’s bad! That’s why some localizing is still important.

The game is full of incomplete sentences because that’s how people speak in Japanese. The speech sounds so unnatural because Japanese speech doesn’t cleanly translate to English. Language doesn’t work like that.

Also fuck you castle shikigami 2 is a masterpiece. Literally one of the greatest games of all time. The weird translation makes it. why? MIGHT!
