According to a new development diary coming from Xseed, the work of translating and editing Story of Seasons is complete. Of course, that’s not all for the script work; Xseed still needs to check the quality of the script, fix any bugs, and make sure that each character’s personality remains in tact after the translation.

Many niche gamers who play Japanese games probably agree with me that keeping a character’s personality the same is something that localization teams don’t always get right. Speech patterns and quirks are often the first thing lost. Xseed usually does a pretty fair job with their games, so we’ll have to see how Story of Seasons turns out.

The game doesn’t have a release date set, yet, but with this much work done, they’re fairly likely to throw one at us soon. In the mean time, you can keep an eye on the dev diary here.
