T027@ACADEMIC.TRUMAN.EDUThis is in response to Richard's "black-hole" comment. Interesting comparison, but not what I would have used. I would say it's more like waiting a day for that wonderful sunset of pinks and oranges. The problem is to see it, you have to wait out the day, and while it's gone in 5 minutes, you weren't sorry you waited.
Richard there are things you have said in your letter that I agree with, but Working Designs is the whole reason I own a Saturn. If they were to stop translating, I would sell my Saturn and never look back. Sounds silly? I know, but I believe Mr. Ireland is the only 3rd party head that really cares for his customers. I appreciate every letter he writes on the Internet to let us know WHY the games aren't coming quickly. That's more than Square would give us, I'm sure. It's no secret that Working Designs has never been given a fair shot. Every magazine review never gives them a fair score. Why? Like the Playstation, Final Fantasy series and Square have always had the populous on their side. I have a tear in my eye for all the wonderful people who have written against Square, not criticizing, but recognizing that Working Designs is a player too. Yes Richard, I wish the games could come out faster, but they ARE RPG's. We're not translating Dixie here! I want my next Lunar experience to blow Cloud and his airship out of the sky! Mr. Ireland realizes that, in that case, the Lunar remake is going to have to be pretty darn special. It's all about faith, and if that makes Victor Ireland sound like a god, then "Hail Victor, full of grace, the players are with thee" He always delivers. If people disagree with this statement, feel free. It's a personal preference. As for Richard, patience my friend, he always delivers. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go dust my Victor Ireland altar, and prepare Final Fantasy VII for the sacrifice. HAHAHAHA!!!! Thanks for reading guys!
