Weirdly I couldn’t stand Saejima UNTIL Pirates in Hawaii, and now I’m all aboard like a switch flicked. Love love love your readings of him and Majima too

omg. thats incredible. honestly ive heard from quite a few people that pirates completely changed their view/reading of saejima (ME INCLUDED TO AN EXTENT) and it's really not that surprising to me, especially considering y4 and y5 remastered suffered from some very unfortunate localization choices for saejima specifically, obscuring/misrepresenting his character, and i thought pirates did a wayyy better job of portraying him accurately. so that makes sense to me. and thank you!! im so glad to hear u like my thoughts on them im always trying to understand what the fuck is going on with the two of them lmfao

some examples of the loc changes under the cut btw

left is original, right is remastered

there's stuff i dont have screenshots for, but a change that stood out to me was how he has a couple classist lines about homeless people in i think both games? but overall they made him both way more gruff and sarcastic at the same time, neither of which are. characteristics of saejima and they come together in a really unflattering way i think. doesnt exactly make him the most. likeable character
