Do you consider this game hard?

FFV is too hard to be released in US.

but contra and mega man are no problem....

My Spidey-Sense is telling me that they meant to say "it's too hard for us to translate."

pooh hah. but fans gave a decent job of it and its better than their PSX translation

That was done for free by kids with too much time on their hands. It is frankly a miracle it's as good as it is, and it has several issues.

Professional translations must be done during billable hours, and at that time, it was customary to hire only one translator. Having a team for such a task would have been cost-prohibitive at the time, and it was too big for them to do in-house, I'd wager.

Better to hedge their bets and just save that money to pay FFVI's translator.
