Yoshinori Kitase, the producer of Final Fantasy XIII, has been speaking in a few interviews regarding the game and keeping interest in FFXIII in the Western mind, as the company gear up to release the game in the West this March. The Japanese theme song proved to contain difficulties when translating it into English, so Square Enix decided to go with another approach; an experiment: “We tried to translate the song [Kimi Ga Iru Kara], but the singer had difficulties with that,” “This is a new type of tactic, an experiment if you will. Why not use a different artist for every region? “If both the content and atmosphere of the song would match with the game, then we would expect it will score better within that particular region. Square Enix as a company is thinking more and more internationally and localization plays an important part within that strategy.” Source: VG247 Add to Digg |
