We have commented on it on occasion, but this 2021 It will be a great year for lovers of JRPG. In the case of Nintendo Switch, the hybrid will receive great titles as NEO: The World Ends With You or the remaster of Shin Megami Tensei 3. In addition, and of exclusive way, will have releases like Shin Megami Tensei V and Bravely Default 2.

The development with the spread of the virus and combined with the fact that we weren’t sure how long they would last [los problemas] had a great impact“, said Japanese. The virus has also made it difficult to localize other languages.
“For example, the progress in voice recording for foreign languages it was slow. We had to train the voice actors of remotely, and they had to record in their own homes; […] everyone involved really gave it their all and we did it. We are a few months late, but we were able to do the voice work without much trouble, “explained Takahashi.
