In the artbook, it's spelled "Ragna the Bloodege" on the title of his page.

No joke.

Yeah, both Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift are riddled with typos, I find it rather off putting and I honestly expect Aksys to play closer attention to detail when translating games.

This really creates the impression that they really couldn't be arsed while translating this. The repeatedly going off script compared to the Japanese dialogue isn't helping things either.

Oh and the lack of translations for the voice actor interviews.

Sorry, I'm not usually a grammar freak. I just didn't expect to see spelling mistakes in a game published on the ps3. It just looks unprofessional.

Bad spelling and grammar is unprofessional in any media. For videogames though, it's usually because QA dropped the ball or management isn't paying them enough. QA doesn't get paid that much money, they're like the butt monkey of a big game developer.

If you guys played the Japanese version, you'll realise that there is simply no spelling or grammer error at all. So the fault lies with...... Aksys, not ASW.

Anyone who thought it was ArcSystemWorks's fault and that they handle the English-language translation should write "derp" on their head with permanent marker.

Wasn't saying it's ASW's fault. Just generally saying that developers in the west have a tendency of not making sure errors like these don't appear. If the game is a localization from Japan, then the fault lies with the publisher, not the developer (besides, I don't see how you can "mispell" Japanese anyway, lol).
