I agree, that even with the translations varying in overall clarity, we're still ahead of the "game". The approach we're taking seems to be faster than looking for someone to translate huge dumps of raw Japanese from scratch. What's happening at various moments is fairly obvious from the English words we have at our disposal, but these additional clarifications are fleshing out the dispositions, attitudes, and tones of the speakers.
> Well, I hate to point the finger or give / take away credit because all who helped I really appreciate it. I had 3 people translate different parts of the game. Tomato did oe hell of a job on it. The other two really helped me where Tomato couldn't help anymore but they were able to get it done for me and that was good enough to atleast get the project to where it is now. :)
