SaGa SCARLET GRACE: AMBITIONS is part of the offbeat RPG series from creator Akitoshi Kawazu and the team at Square Enix. Originally a Japan-only PlayStation Vita release, the game was expanded and remastered for consoles and PC and finally found its way to English-speaking audiences in 2019.

I worked with a team of freelance translators and editors and the crew at 8-4 Ltd. to translate the narrative portions of this text-heavy, story-forward RPG—no mean feat, what with its non-linear structure, intertwining storylines, and eccentric sense of style. We managed to convey the game's wildly oscillating tone, wacky sense of humor, and idiosyncratic characters in a way that pleased fans and reviewers, who often mentioned the story and localization in their assessment of the game.

You can see a few shots of the final edited text here, and pick up a digital copy of the game on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and PlayStation 4.
