Honestly, these days I'd prefer advanced mtl to a shitty localization every time. Nintendo has turned me into a hard liner, working to figure out what the fuck a character just said is better than that character just not saying anything. I'm an old head, i remember needing to work that shit out, it sucked but at least it wasn't purposefully mangled.

Man i miss fanlations being the standard, they are so much better.

I could see it working if the machine result has a pass over done by editors. If it’s just straight from AI to Publish it’ll probably be bad.
