Plus Alpha's reviews speak for themselves:- “One of the first things you'll immediately notice when playing the game is the unusually high quality of the dialogues. ...It is possible that all the praise should go to the translators. Because ‘Dragon Quest VIII’ has the absolutely best translation of any Japanese RPG ever, bar none. Really, this game should be taught in schools for game translators. The English language of the game is very natural, versatile, and fresh. ...There is so much style in those dialogues, that the game is worth playing just for the reading.”— Moby Games user review, review of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.
- “The story that unfolds has been excellently brought across from the Japanese version. That's to say the usual things that get lost in translation - the quirky humour, the subtle references - make it here intact. To their credit the translation team has not treated us like we're five year olds - a refreshing change.”— BigPond GameArena, review of Okami.
- “And make no mistake – while the legendary Shu Takumi deserves tons of credit for his script work, equal praise must be laid at the feet of the localizers, who have spun a translation like none other I have seen. Effortlessly weaving classic Ace Attorney wit into the product while also managing cross-language puns and cultural context, giving appropriate accents to British characters, and going the extra mile by subtly establishing when certain characters are speaking Japanese or English via honorifics and other context clues, and it’s simply amazing. Accessible yet authentic, full of life and vigor, establishing once and for all that among all Japanese to English localizations, Ace Attorney is king.”— Nintendo Wire, review of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.
