Ngl, translation is one of the few use cases for ai that I’m generally cool with, at least for personal use. Semi wack to release it publicly, and kind of rough that there’s an actual team working on translating the game.

But like, it’s been 25+ years. I’m more stoked on people that speak a language other than Japanese being able to play it than I am annoyed that they used ai to do it.

That said, I think it should be treated as like an “alpha” translation, open to feedback from native Japanese speakers, which it sounds like it is. It’ll also make it less laborious for those translators. So in general, I think it was a little rude, but not a terrible thing to do.
