Mai Namba (Metaphor: ReFantazio)

from Pixel Pizza Hosted by Pixel Pizza Productions

Joining us this week is our first-ever guest in the localization field, Mai Namba! Mai's got decades of experience in translating and localizing some of the most renowned Japanese RPGs including Persona 2-5, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Metaphor: ReFantazio. Most recently they've brought their talents to NIS America. Our wide-ranging conversation covers the evolution of game localization with new technology, the multicultural effort that brought Metaphor to life, and what can be done to improve the emotional and professional wellbeing of linguists in the industry. Music from Kaiden! LINKS: 💼 Mai's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mainamba/ 💿 Kaiden: https://k9id3n.bandcamp.com/ 🍕 Pizzeria of the week: Domino's
