> It's a real shame to hear the Kojima was not on board with this style of translation. I have to agree - I found the dialog to be a high point in MGS1 and a low point for later installments, where Kojima's more florid moments sometimes came across as gibberish when directly translated. But I guess the counterpoint would be, Kojima seems to have been consciously trying to form an auteur presence (he had that whole "a Hideo Kojima game by Hideo Kojima in association with Hideo Kojima" thing going on). So one can easily imagine him bristling at the idea of having someone else's fingerprints on the final product.
