    Seems like dipshittery because he doesn’t want to do it and only did the Japanese one because he has a particular personal interest in Japan. The rest is work that he doesn’t want to do and he’s hiding behind this as an excuse not to do it.

    I seriously doubt his Japanese is good enough to evaluate Japanese literary works. His Japanese is probably on the level of “Boku wa Toby Fox desu.” He just needs to hire reputable translators, and if too many people complain about how the translations suck, he just needs to hire different translators to fix the mess.

      Nah I think he’s pretty fluent. Sakurai doesn’t speak English much at all but Toby has had dinner with him hashing something out for a new game, I don’t think that would work if he couldn’t speak Japanese. He spends a serious amount of time over in Japan too, the dude wants to be Japanese.

      Toby’s the one with the dog over his face.
