FINAL FANTASY® XVI

EN Script Editing and Performance Direction, DE Editing and Translation

The opportunity to work on a mainline FINAL FANTASY® title doesn’t come around very often, and even those fortunate enough to have worked on a few rarely get the chance to collaborate with the likes of Naoki Yoshida and Michael-Christopher Koji Fox. So when we received the call back in 2019, we didn’t hesitate.

Over the years that followed, we accompanied Koji (FINAL FANTASY® XIV) and John Taylor (DRAGON QUEST® XI) through the many stages of the game’s localisation and development. In addition to script editing, we assisted with casting and motion capture, and were ultimately entrusted with the task of performance direction. To call it a grand endeavour would be an understatement, but the privilege of working with such generous and talented people, both at Square Enix and in the studio made it all worthwhile. And on the way to making a great game, we also made some great friends.

We’d like to thank Koji, John, Yoshida-san, Fred Proud, Sam Papworth, Hannah Price, and the incomparable Ben Starr for making the project such a life-affirming experience. If we ever have the chance to join such an incredible team again…well…we won’t hesitate.
