NIS America picked a nice, light RPG to bring out in Mana Khemia, and its localizations are steadily improving. The English text is typo-free and pleasantly readable, while the options menu offers both Japanese and English dialogue to listen to. While the next generation consoles get around to filling out their RPG lineups, this is a fine way to pass the time.
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Cursed Mountain, and Harvest Moon: Magical Melody.
NISA breaks down the localization process, talks about upcoming games, and discusses job opportunities at this year's Anime Expo. 411mania was on hand to see what the publisher had to say.
With its individual elements weaved together so tightly, Mana Khemia: Alchemists Of Al-Revis is a rare game in which you really need to take an interest in all of its components in order to progress with any of them.
