Few game communities have had to learn patience like Japanese RPGs fans. Series like Nihon Falcom’s Ys have historically taken well over a year to see an official English translation. Yet the latest entry in the series, Ys 10: Nordics, is slated to launch worldwide three months quicker than its predecessor Ys 9: Monstrum Nox did compared to its respective Japanese release. According to publisher NIS America, it's a sign of things to come.
During a recent digital showcase of Ys 10: Nordics, I had the opportunity to ask NIS America’s Alan Costa if we should expect to see faster turnarounds on translations for RPGs such as this in the future. His response was to the point: "Yes."
