More than anything else, though, NCsoft is hoping that what gamers will appreciate — or, more accurately, what they won’t notice at all — is the thorough and uncompromising globalization efforts. Our hosts told us that they were keenly aware of the negative stigma attached to Korean MMOs by American gamers, and they have spared no effort in making sure Aion doesn’t fall prey to the usual low standards of localization. My hosts explained to me that their process involved more than simple translations; Aion has undergone what the team calls “Culturalization.” The American developers have gone through each quest again and again, making sure the dialogue flows correctly, tweaking certain story elements to appeal to the cultural identity of the target market.
doh! apologies Tareith...
