I love the intention of this project, and the attention MegaMan X4 is getting.
New Font:It’s very convenient to have changed the spacing between characters, yes.
Changing font was necessary? Not really, but I respect.
Music:The music is a matter of taste, I personally love both soundtracks, but I lean more towards the music that the Western version received, it’s nostalgic, sad and more emotional for me.
Voices:Not gonna lie, English voices are nostalgic, and X sounding girly is kinnda iconic to me, but Japanese is great, I like it too.
Maybe I take into account some aspects when I do my own personal Spanish translation project.
