By the way, how is this approach to announcing articles? Should I continue doing it this way, listing a bunch a week or two before the game comes out or would you rather I try announcing them around the same as when they’ve been posted/I’ve found them/Atlus Twitters it?

Thunderbolt website has updated with an interview of the SMT: Persona localization team. The team included in the interview includes: A.R.A.M. (an acronym for Advertising, Resources, And Marketing) Jabarri, Atlus’s hidden PR representative. Nich Maragos, Atlus’s lead editor. And Scott Stritchart, QA lead and editor. (Atlus Faithfuls should AT LEAST know ARAM Jabarri and Nich! They are the main writers, afterall!)

It’s a very interesting read, both in light of the game itself as well as offering more background into some of the work that goes into localizing games. Particularly since it’s an Shin Megami Tensei title, a long running series with lots of mythologies from various cultures. I’m always amazed at how well they can handle these things. (And they always get stuck with it, look at Izuna and Etrian Odyssey for further examples.)

In case you needed reminding: the game is scheduled for release September 22 and is a remake for the PSP.

My thoughts on the game: I don’t own a PSP, saddly. This, along with Class of Heroes, is yet another reason why I wish to own one. Well, there are several other games I want for it, too, but I’m just here to talk about Atlus now, aren’t I?
