I’ve played Norn 9 in Japanese first (during the PS vita’s prime) as well as the Switch port in 2018 before it was localized for a US release, at the time the translation in English is just plain garbage (I’ve heard the localizers back then were on a tight deadline), the text felt like they’ve just copied & pasted it via Google Translate but for the Switch re-release, the translation is improved as a new team of translators were hired.

    I honestly felt confused by the English localization of Norn 9.

    I’ve played a lot of Visual Novels. Shuffle! is one that I felt had a better fan-translation.

    Been training my Japanese to try and read one without translating.
