That's not New Nintendo treehouse senpai
>>
Gaijinworks if going by the actual quality of translation
>>
>>335114073
Shut up and eat your hamburgers Apollo.
>>
NISA's the only one of those three that add new bugs to their localizations that didn't exist in the Japanese versions, so you tell me.
>>
>>335115007
8-4 and treehouse remove content tho which is just as bad
>>
>>335115113
I'm pretty sure bugs that freeze the game or can even fuck up your system is as bad as it gets.

Treehouse doesn't even translate. They just rewrite everything.

Most lazy ass localization ever. It's not even a rewrite this time... they just got so lazy that they used ..... for every line.

The sad thing is, nintendrones let them get away with it and give them a free pass because it's nintendo.

say it with me now

it's okay when nintendo does it

Atlus for refusing dual audio

8-4 and Treehouse don't destroy consoles with their localizations.

It's even worse when they do it and admit they want casuals and not actual fans of JRPGs in game.

Sega

Respectable choice. "Actual fans" tend to never be satisfied unless they're nitpicking over every little change.
>>
You know why Nintendo handed off the localization of Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei to Atlus?

It's because they already know how cancerous their own Treehouse team is. But they can't fire them because they still under contract and that's not the japanese way. They waiting for their contracts to expire and they won't renew.

>"Actual fans" tend to never be satisfied

That is bull fucking shit right there. If you do a good job and make improvements, fans will be satisfied. If you fuck up the entire translation like treehouse for the sake if pushing a agenda and narrative, the fans will be angry.

If you can't enjoy a game unless every single line of text is a 100% direct translation from japanese, you never liked the game to begin with.
>>
>>335116821
>make improvements
Literal censorship according to "actual fans".
>>
>>335116885

Please fuck off.
>>
Man, 8-4 wouldn't be nearly as bad if they didn't get inexplicably popular at some point and suddenly thought they were god's gift to translations.

>>335116885
There's not being 100% direct and then there's basically writing a whole new script for no reason.

>>335116885
Gotta love those DANK MEMES, am I right?
If you don't like memes, you shouldn't even be posting on 4chan, newfags.

Hi treehouse

>>335117178
this. Shit like this is not acceptable. >>335115457
Atleast come up with something that replaces it not just dot dot fucking dot
>>
>>335115895
Christ, this is like the third time in a year I've seen this shit in a Nintendo game. It really gets under their skin, doesn't it?
>>
>>335116969
most likely sjw employees who work there pretending to be fans that want censorship. That's what they're known to do. Then they ban and censor any comment in forums that speak against it. Houk did that all the time in the nisa forums.
>>
>>335117738
to be frank with you it's not even about sjw agendas, it's about money. Treehouse gets more money by forcing more and more changes during localization. Say for instance when they "censor" a characters outfit. They charge NoJ out the ass for script, sprite, and modeling work and NoJ takes it because they're not American and don't know our "culture" so go with NoA says because they're the "experts" of all things America.

>>335117617
Treehouse really hates having to localize anything more demanding than a Mario or Zelda game

Remember all the bitching that ex-employee of Nintendo did over localizing Xenoblade Chronicles?
>>
>>335115546

>constant anti-nintendo threads

Clearly it's not okay
>>
>>335119753
That's why they take for fucking ever to localize anything. They spend the most amount of time possible to milk nintendo as much money as they can.

Nintendo should cut all ties with them.

It's mainly between Treehouse and NISA. One adds game breaking bugs that were not in the original, and lies out of their ass saying they'll not cut shit, but when they actually release the product, you find that they gutted the content (Cof Mugen Souls fiasco cof).

The other, Treehouse, are mainly re-writers "Aka dialogue meme spicers", with added salt that everygame they release is censored, even paper mario.

And they're so lazy, that when the project is too big they just outsource the translation, and "spice up the dialogue" (Cof Fire Emblem Cof Xenoblade),

And They love to bitch IN DIALOGUE that their fans don't know any better, and are just whiners. You can spot their bitching in Xenoblade, Animal Crossing, you name it. That just screams unprofessionalism.

You also don't even need to know Japanese to work as a localizer in Treehouse.
>>
>>335123651
>so lazy
They hate localizing anything more demanding than Mario or Zelda.

Just look at Chris Pranger's comments about Xenoblade. "Bawww there's too much text and we need voice-overs". Try having that attitude in any other company's localization department and you'd soon find yourself without anything to localize. Idiot.
