Shidoshi,
Question about what you were talking about near the beginning of the podcast about problems with translators. Since you know Japanese pretty well, do YOU need a translator because you don’t know quite enough, or does THE COMPANY insist on a translator because they don’t want you to translate “incorrectly”? Besides the translator misconstruing the questions, do you ever get a “PR Person” translator changing the answers to change the meaning to something more “favorable”? If you knew the interviewee original said something different, would you use the original or is only the English translation officially on the record?
I know I have 10 years of hindsight but Anthony was DEAD ON about Inafune’s Kickstarter incompetence reflecting how he put Capcom into the toilet.
