Capcom did a good job in this game, imo, of only changing that which would really benefit from needing to be changed. I think leaving (most of) the Japanese names unchanged is a good call and shows some faith in the audience (especially with a name like Ryunosuke!), there might be meaning to their names that I'm missing but that's fine. The rest of the names they only really changed them if they weren't working in English at all. The key to good localization is preserving the feeling of seeing a name, imo, not the precise meaning. <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:956651176] in great ace ...
