Toby Fox ass writing
It's both parts infuriating and hilarious that Toby fox refuses to hire more localization teams because he's afraid of them corrupting his "superior writing with such nuance"
no Mr. fox you make tumblr sexymen and fandom communities you are not writing the bible. Undertale is still not translated into more languages despite being more than a decade old.
He simultaneously manages to be the least serious and most serious writer.
"The whole vison is compromised if the word pipis is mistranslated!"
Ngl, this is one of the reasons keeping me away from playing their games. Am I curious? Absolutely! Do I want to go through an entire game with that style of dialogue? Hell no.
Naah it's not always like that and I'm exaggerating.
The games are good and not very long if you ever want to find out. Besides even if sometimes the dialogue goes into this territory, it's only in certain moments.
99% of the dialogue is more silly antics. If you've ever played a Mother game you'll know what to expect. Absurdist comedy followed by the occasional emotional stab in the heart.
I make fun of Toby Fox (out of love mostly, he is extremely tumblr in the best and worst ways), but his games are legitimately some of my favourites ever made, and this is coming from someone who has played way too many games.
