Do we have any proof that it's dead in the West? Hatsuu leaving really sucks, but if there's still hope I don't want to let go of it.

There is no reason to issue that has anything to do with the series and it very likely doesn’t.

From my understanding this would impact any chance for quality as she seemed very into her job.

XSeed has translators who aren't her. They're good at their jobs.

This sucks, but do not kneejerk or talk about how the series is dead. Jesus.

if they want the dumb minigame out of the game, whatever, but tell them ahead of time instead of two minutes before it launches

No, XSeed can absolutely still release CS3 and 4, but they'll be much worse without Hatsuu directing the voice cast.

Most of the major VAs probably understand their characters well enough at this point that they'll be fine.

It's not like XSeed is incompetent outside of her. She was very, very good at her job, but its not like all the new characters will suddenly sound like they're from Dynasty Warriors 3. And it's not like 'working hard to make sure the VAs understand the context of their characters' is something that can't be emulated.

Is there a really good 100% guide for CS1? Im thinking about revisiting it and I kinda want to go for all the things? Which is weird for me, I usually just do whatever for replays.

I'm pretty sure I remember Falcom (or rather Kondo specifically) having said they're taking a break after this latest release, and one of their focuses before continuing is to prioritize bringing CS3/4 over to the west. So good news in the general sense, if you haven't seen that before.

Looks like my best bet may be to just do a standard NG run instead of cashing in on NG+ if I want all the cheevos. Hmmm.

There's another page by the same author that lists all the achievements and how to get them: https://psnprofiles.com/guide/3725-the-legend-of-heroes-trails-of-cold-steel-trophy-guide

The author also did the same thing for CS2.

Depends on what achievements you need. If you need the Character Notes, you'll need do NG+ for full Bonding Points.

First playthrough was blind so i basically need ALL THE ACHIEVEMENTS!

I think i'll use my ng+ just for max bond points

Sadly, even with NG+, you need two playthroughs to get all the achievements, because you can't get all of the Master Quartz in one playthrough.

But good luck!

Yeah, the Chevalier and Thor quartz. Still, I've never really been interested in 100%ing a game like this because i'm terrified that i'll forget to scan a rat in chapter 5 or something dumb.

But the notebook is great and i want more of my favorite black haired sad boy in Trails so i'll give it a shot.

So a total of three of their senior localization staff have left now? That really sucks I'm bummed. Apparently one of them is going to teach English in Japan which is definitely not an upgrade and more of an "Oh gently caress I need employment" situation, especially if they were Japan-based to begin with. How they all land on their feet and can lend their talent and hard work to other great projects in the future.

Pretty sure tom going to teach in japan is something he's wanted to do for a while and was planned. Brittany going the same day is the odder departure, since we don't really know anything about it.

We don’t know anything but that whole debacle with their big money maker game franchise happened, so it’s not an unsafe assumption that she was laid off.

The closest acceptable translation is
"die properly"
Teaching English is also a very easy way to get into the country with a work visa and then find other loc work from there. Most companies/agencies are fine with the process of changing the visa status needed for a translation job but not for the rigmarole of applying for a new visa, but schools will since otherwise they can't find enough people to fill demand.

I didn't mean to badmouth teaching English in Japan as it's actually how I got into Japan, so yeah maybe they are setting out to get over here first then get into translation work or something.
I just had PTSD flashbacks of fear of losing my job and having to work at a dingy eikaiwa to make ends meet.
