Considering it's about the Zoids game, which i don't really care about, it was a pretty good read. And for sme reason "He who pilots a Zoid" amused me greatly.

I agree with Chronis, except for the not being interested in Zoids part.

Kind of interesting to see how a game goes from Japanese version to Americanized.

Where the hell was my newsletter, Atlus!? :evil: The last one I received was about the special edition soundtrack for Yggdra Union...not for the new Production Diaries...

Anyway, nice! I actually really like Zoids (Chaotic Century FTW!), and this specific PD was to my interest besides the inclusions of them Zoids.

I didn't know there were different jobs for text--meaning, I didn't think one person would be assigned to do military text, while someone else would take care of dialogue text--unless it was specific for this game? Either way, pretty interesting; I always thought it was a joint effort on everything, like, someone saying "Hey, this sounds good, doesn't it?" with someone else replying with either a "Yeah, it does!" or "I was thinking more like..."


That was nice of Mr. Clayton (too formal?) to cast that female VA on another title :) What a nice guy guy! :D

I'll be anticipating that "Debug Me This!" Production Diaries ;) Debug mode is still a bit of a mystery to me, so feed meh with gnawledge, plz!

I truly enjoy and learn from these production diaries and I throw lots of macca at you guys who suffer and joyfully swell with the work that you are tasked with! Coming from the code and creation perspective, it's really very nice to see how the world operates "on the other side" ; - )
