1* DoingItForTheArt:
2** ''VideoGame/RetroGameChallenge'' was brought over solely because they wanted it to be released in the United States. They also brought over all three chapters of the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'' trilogy, which is known for having tens of thousands of lines of text...''per game''. Even when no other publisher would touch it, because of the infamously [[BlindIdiotTranslation poor translation]] of the ''VideoGame/GagharvTrilogy''. It's almost impossible to overstate what an achievement this is, releasing an obscure outside of Japan trilogy of games that's more than double the length of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', comparable to ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' in size and scope on the ''Platform/PlayStationPortable', a long out of date console that promptly tanked in sales, simply because they wanted to bring the games to North America. They proceeded to undergo an equally text-heavy challenge with ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' games on the Platform/PlayStationVita with the addition of a copious amount of English voice acting.
3** They actually mentioned that the first thing in localizing a game is to see if anyone in the office likes it. If nobody does, the game doesn't get localized.
4* DVDCommentary: The company's localization blog, where staff recount various misadventures porting games, coming across tricky localization choices, and the occasional Q and A by fans.
5* LineToGod: Their [[http://xseedgames.tumblr.com/ blog]] is sometimes open to fan feedback and questions.
6* [[NetworkToTheRescue Publisher To The Rescue]]: Thanks to Operation Rainfall's efforts, while Nintendo themselves handled the entire international release of ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'', it was XSEED that also made the North American release of the operation's two other games, ''VideoGame/TheLastStory'' & ''VideoGame/PandorasTower'', a reality.[[note]]Nintendo handled the publishing of those games in Japan and Europe, as well.[[/note]]
