imagine how dull RPGs like Elden Ring, Dragon Quest, Xenoblade, etc. would be with AI localisation. so strange how comfortable some people are with this idea

it would be so crazy if Square Enix had another series that's not Final Fantasy that has been turn-based for 37 years. but that would require playing videogames, so I'll pretend it doesn't exist so I can make a grift about tb games dying
