Other partners, such as Ghostlight and Aksys, have also helped the company localise its other games, such as the Record of the Agarest War franchise, but without a doubt NISA is the one driving the growth of these games in the US and international markets.
Idea Factory itself hasn’t had a direct presence in these western markets before, but now it does."
Today, the organizers behind the New Game+ Expo announced that the reveals livestream focusing on Japanese games is coming back next month.
Famitsu published the new year cards and messages from 44 developers, mostly from Japan.
Idea Factory International Translator and Localization Coordinator Justina Lange talked about what it was like to localize Azur Lane: Crosswave.
Idea Factory as well as Compile Heart get a bad rap from the mainstream press which i feel are kind of unfair. Hopefully despite of these the company will continue to release games over to the west cause there are some quality games.
Neptunia is a fun JRPG, Agarest war games are good tactics games, Monster Monpiece although has a strange mechanic (rubbing your 'female' cards) is a really good game with some excellent music. With this new international division more games like MonMon will make it for fans to experience.
Hopefully we get some of those rpg games :) for vita :D
They only make perverted games.
Censoring in games is rather ridiculous even if I understand the premise of why it's necessary. For the fans the true games is the ideal but on occasion some of the censored material is unneeded to enjoy the game. Still burns me up though.
