Hey everyone, welcome to 2023! Hope you're doing well. Today I have for you an interview I did with Jeremy Blaustein, the translator/localizer who worked on Symphony of the Night. I learned a lot of new information about the creation of the english script...how Lord of the Rings and Vonnegut inspired things like Legion and some of the weapons and items in the game...as well as the official confirmation that Malreaux's "What is a Man?" line was directly used. We talk about how little Konami was involved in the translation in addition to the time Blaustein was given to translate the entire game (3 months!) It's a pretty cool interview filled with lots of stuff that's never been revealed as he's never been specifically only interviewed about this game, his second work with Konami. Enjoy!
