====BR: What do you think about the different dialects used by different characters? SD3 had a lot of that... and while different speakers of English have different accents, the words are pretty much the same, unlike, say, the differences between Tokyo-ben and Kansai-ben in Japanese. What do you think is a good way to preserve these differences without exaggerating the English speech too much?====

TW: In some ways it is impossible to translate, for non-Japanese individuals, the difference between say, arimasen and arimahen (Kanto vs. Kansai). It really isn't the same as putting a southern drawl on an English passage. Word play was very much a part of the Japanese original. Again, I wish the games had been on a CD-ROM, as we could have done a ton of stuff differently, and more effectively.
