I am so happy to see this article. I used to play the Japanese release PSO with Barubary a LOT and heard bits and pieces about the FFV translation. At the time they were at UCI I believe and I was just in 7th grade. Baru always seemed incredibly skilled and was extremely patient with me and helped me learn some basic coding, such as creating custom names for items that worked online. It got me into engineering in general and though I ended up working in Materials Engineering rather than software it was an excellent influence on me and pushed me to learn by reverse engineering. I always imagined Baru would end up somewhere with a career in Video Game development and am thrilled to see it is true.
