    To be fair, Americans make 9/11 jokes all the time.

    And how many 'Oppenheimer' jokes were made in the last couple years?

    Nice bait thread though.

    You can find a lot of memes about it.

    As for the topic, it's been 23 years, not everyone is old enough to have lived through this event and especially not a US Citizen.
    The 9 refers to solution nine, the 11 refers to the number of the residential area.

    That post was not a joke, I mean not in my community, for the most part, stuff like that would get a laugh at out no one. Guess it depends on the community you belong to.

    You pay all that money for a localization team, and they can't be bothered to do their actual job. Oh, but you better believe their gonna get their amateur friend that can't actually voice act to be in the starring role.

    Edit: I tried to put a picture in HB, and it didn't work. Don't want to spoil things for anyone that cares about it.
    """localizers""" are just failed authors and resign themselves to localizing other people's works in a vain attempt to make them look like true creatives and also to own le heckin chuds

    So can you tell us what that residential block is named in JP, FR and DE that makes the EN localization so terrible?

    In German the residential blocks are called "Wohnradius 9-14" and "Wohnradius 9-11" make of that information what you will.

It's baffling how some people pretend to be pitied over being shocked by watching the tragedy unfold, without even being an actual victim. If having seen the terrorist attack live still affects you to this day, 23 years after, without even being a direct victim, it's your problem, and you'll need counsel to cope with that. The rest of the world, in the meanwhile, goes on.

    If something like this were enough to warrant making changes, the slippery slope would never end. Do you imagine censoring the siege of Tulliyolal because it might affect the sensibilities of Ukrainians or Palestinians? Because this is where this kind of take goes.

    Also, jokes about 9/11 have been prevalent since, at the very least, 10 years ago, either doing black comedy or ridiculing some of the ludicrous conspiracy theories spawned around the incident.
    Dismissing the impact seeing such an event happen live can have on people just because they weren't "directly" affected is a shitty take.
    I've never set foot on US soil, so far at least, but I watched it happen live on TV. It shook me then, my mother watching with me cried.
    Later in the day I found out I lost a friend in the attack, that certainly made matters worse.
    That feeling of dread I felt while watching TV back then is going to stay with me, it comes back when my thoughts turn to the event, the loss of a friend still hurts.

    With that said, I agree that the naming of that residential block isn't a huge issue.
    Until this thread I didn't even make the connection and I have been personally affected by the event in question, even if indirectly, so it's not just me being a stupid foreigner who doesn't care.
    If two numbers and a very vague resemblance cause issues you're dealing with full blown PTSD, anyone who has to deal with that has my heartfelt sympathy and I sincerely hope they have the specialist support they need to deal with it. The human brain is scarily good at pattern recognition so I'm not surprised people pick up references where there were none intended but I don't find chewing the localization team out for this particular coincidence is warranted.

    Your a Johnny Somali fan aren't you? Probably laughed long and hard when he was in Japan.

    "World War 2 happened 85 years ago, are we not suppose to say the names of the Cities" That what you sound like. A disrespectful child, wanting to make sure everyone is full aware of how disappointed their parents are in them.

    I was gonna go back and get screenshots of this, but after a certain event the NPCs are no longer there. But right outside laying on the grass were 2 NPCs one saying "What a lovely morning isn't it?" and the other responding with "Yea, the breeze feels great". I'm still certain the devs didn't mean anything by this and it's all just a coincidence, but stuff like this is the actual reason you have Localization Teams. This is their actual jobs, they aren't translators. What their suppose to do is catch stuff like this and edit it so as to not touch sensitive or taboo topics for different regions.
