Okay, now I just need to ask this. What exactly does "localization" mean in this case? Hard to be excited when I'm not exactly sure what that means. (Though I do like the name "Digital Monkeys" I'm very pro-monkey! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] )
Hmm, correct me if i’m wrong, but it looks like Digital Monkey have made only one game? Besides, if thye’re a “brand-new” company, I’m surpised that they’d agree to try their hand at the english market…

It'll probably be 2006 before the game comes out though, considering Hobibox's record, Not to mention all of their "Supposive" other projects they're working on. (Alchemical Girl, The Age-Soft games, etc.)

Localization is what most people mean when they say translated. It's a recognition of the fact that brining a game over from Japan involves lots more than just translating the dialog.

Thanks. I sorta guessed that's what it meant but I wanted to be sure. (Unlike my co-worker who will consistently use a word incorrectly, because he thinks it means something else...)

Some people say there are no stupid questions. I say there are plenty of stupid questions, but most of the time if you need to ask one, and you don't, then you wind up looking even stupider.
