An amateur team of Final Fantasy and Square Enix fans working on a patch to translate Final Fantasy Type-0 from Japanese to English and Spanish have been issued legal threats from Square Enix to cease their project immediately.
"Unfortunately I’m forced to remove my posts and pages related to the popular Final Fantasy Type-0 fan translation project. That’s right, certain game company thinks that threats and false accusations are the way to treat its biggest fans. For the time being I can’t answer questions related to this matter, but I’ll write a more comprehensive post about all this once I get the chance."
It isn't completely terrible news, as Type-0 has been
confirmed for a western release. It is, however, a shame for the team who have worked hard on the patch but it is understandable that Square Enix want to keep their product under wraps for their own localised release.
What are your thoughts on this? Are Square Enix right to shut down the project?
