Dragalia Lost was a mobile action RPG developed by Cygames and published by Nintendo. It ran from 2018 to 2022, and service ended shortly after the conclusion of the main story. While the game is no longer available, you can watch the entire main campaign on YouTube, as well as all of the game’s many side events and character-specific stories.

I joined 8-4’s localization team shortly before the initial release and was responsible for translating the majority of the main campaign, numerous character side stories and special events, nearly all of the game’s 100+ characters’ gameplay barks, marketing copy, trailer video text, item descriptions, lore entries, and more. I worked alongside an expert team of translators and editors as we wrangled a project that started massive and only ballooned in size and scope over the course of its lifetime.

You can see a few shots of the final edited text below, or watch one of the trailers I worked on here. The game’s official site is still live (for now) and can be accessed here.

Lastly, though I didn’t personally have any involvement, you can view a fan-organized tribute zine called Farewell Alberia here. The work within is a lovely testament to the passionate and dedicated fan base the game enjoyed during its lifetime.
