They don't want you to succeed. Now as you get close to the end they attempt to thwart your attempts by anonymously barraging you with questions. Now you have no choice but to put your soul into a robot and send it back in time through the Phase Distorter and use pray 9 times on Satoru Iwata. Only then can the translation be completed, but be careful out there, he'll be accompanied by your next door neighbor in a spider machine thing.

Anyway Berticus: it's hard to put a blanket statement over the humor and references in that way, but it's generally no different from how M2 was and how EB was. There are puns and plays on words mostly. Cultural references aren't THAT common, so it's nothing too big, and I often ask people around me or on this blog or on the msg board for suggestions when such stuff does come up, like some movie references a while back, or something dialect-related last week. The translation notes will (hopefully, if I don't run out of energy first) list all the various references and puns that had to be handled during the translation too. I look forward to that, well, the reading of it, not the making of it ;) Alright, zeldarocks won’t be bothering us for a while at least.

Are the cultural references and places americanish like earthbound or are they more Japanese-centric this time around? Or something else entirely? And kind of along the same lines but more pertinent to this project, I think I remember you mentioning that some things (jokes and whatnot) originally only made sense to Japanese players or people really familiar with that culture, and that you were going to change these to spiritually similar English phrases. Are you planning to consolidate with Demi on how to best deal with these instances? Don't bother answering if you've gone through this stuff before, I try to keep up with the blog but its sometimes difficult picking information from 300 posts of flashcard questions and accolades (not that you don't deserve accolades my man).
