It appears yes, Atlus does in fact have the best localization team. Also congratulations to Hiimdaisy.

That's amazing. If that's in there, I'm shocked there's no Charlie Tunoku reference of some kind.

...wow. Marie's pretty clever, maybe she should be the detective prince.

Please tell me one of the new TV programs is Shadow Teddie's Existential Kid's Korner.

Hm! I saw that screenshot floating on tumblr a few days ago... I assumed it was just a photoshop edit! Is that really real? Because if so, that's awesome :')

If they still insist on using the most retarded of honorisms then it's not the best localization team, far from it, but merely a cute localization team.

Actually a more direct translation than you might expect.

The Mario & Luigi localization team is a tough contender. Still I agree! :)

The only thing that bothers me playing the English version of P4G is the fact that they keep -san

Man I wish I had a Vita

There should be a bronze trophy for naming your dude Charlie Tunoku.

Alright I think I'll turn on my Vita now, I've just been sucked into AC 3 on PC.

You mean Mr. Adachi would sound more natural? Besides, it's not like the game is shy about telling you how Japanese it is, what with the -kuns and -chans and -sempais.

(And while I'm here: do you get to celebrate birthdays in Persona 4? I mean, birthdays might not be that important in Japan, but I doubt it, what with the gift-giving love Japan has.)

@Bocam:

OK, wow, that is strange. (It's also strange that you say that like I'd know about it when we both know there's no way I would.)

@Bocam-san:

Not being able to enter it is mine, Bocam-san.

I love all the stupid -san stuff because its so dumb.

I wish P4:G was on anything other than the Vita. I love P4 but I am not buying a Vita just for one game.

Ok great. Fuck you, OP. it's your fault I'm buying a Vita just for this game. That made me realize how badly I want to play this game.

I'm just going to keep telling myself my PS2 copy will do just fine.

If I keep saying it it will come true, right? Three times and I'm all right?

Yeah that gets annoying but then you miss out on the occasional hilarity of people calling you Charlie-chan.

I can't wait to pop this thing in my Vita. Just waiting for the best deal on one!

Holy crap, I was never too conscious of honorifics in localizations being a big deal until now. I wasn't even that cognizant of them in the first place.

But I totally need to pick up my copy of P4G right away. I should've reserved it at the GameStop I can just walk to as opposed to miles away from my house.

wonder what they would've used instead of "senpai" in that case... Cause that's used a loooot. Can't really come up with a good other option....

Is this referencing the Endurance Run because I can't quite remember? Or is it just referencing the image above it? Or both?

It's referencing a Persona 4 comic by Hiimdaisy, who btw also references the ER in the comic.
