Game Informer Localization Expert Examines Squall's Overuse Of Whatever Tue, 12 Feb 2019 20:30:00 CST Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy VIII, Square's PlayStation RPG starring teenage mercenaries caught in a cycle of witches and wars. If you have played the game, you might remember that protagonist Squall is associated with the phrase "Whatever..." Even if you haven't played the game, you likely know how associated with that one word Squall is in his dialogue. Localizer Clyde Mandelin, who works for Funimation but you might know best for his work on the Mother 3 fan translation, decided to take a look at Squall's best associated line and how it compares to the game's Japanese script.

In March, it was reported that actress Rosario Dawson would be taking on the role of Anakin Skywalker's apprentice from  Star Wars: The Clone Wars  for the second season  The Mandalorian. N ow  The Hollywood Reporter  has a scoop  that not only is the legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett joining the season 2 stable, but he will be played by Temuera Morrison, the actor who portrayed Jango Fett in  Star Wars: Attack of the Clones .  Many fans theorized that the closing moments of The Mandalorian 's season 1 episode, "The Gunslinger" hinted at Boba Fett appearing in a future episode, but that cameo or appearance did not occur during the first season. The connection is obvious, as the famed bounty hunter is known for his Mandalorian armor, but by this time in the story, he was presumed dead, swallowed by a s...
