specifically Revelations: Persona emulated on a PS1. the thing that stood out to me most was the slightly awkward translations. that's something that I'm pretty used to at this point going back to older japanese media translated into english. the familiar spell names (agi, garu, bufu) were nowhere to be found. instead I just had a skill called "wind"
what I did not realize is just how much they changed localizing the game for the US.
names and character designs were totally changed ... to make them more American?? (read: white, except for Mark who is now Black.) truly bizarre. I've heard of stuff like this happening for localization but nothing this drastic. there's a lot of stuff I like about the game itself but now I'm compelled to keep playing just to see what else they changed for my tiny american brain.
