What surprised me in watching the panel is how clueless Atlus US seemed to be... they view themselves much more as sales than production, the translation is something they do with attention to detail but without understanding much of the "winder pictures" or motivations behind the series, or caring much about the continuity or availability of parts of the story (e.g. Innocent Sin).

 
Maybe because they are sales? ATLUS US just grabs all the retarded/niche stuff they think will be the next Disgaea or SMT, and pops it out. Continuity be damned, because there's a metric fuck ton of that stuff out there, and if they miss one release, they'll have 2 others in its place.

Uhhh... I'm fairly certain that Atlus didn't try releasing Innocent Sin because they were already burned by Sony after translating Soul Hackers. So that's a dumb comment.
 
Also, ignorance of the wider motivations behind SMT is a good thing.

Who's post are you responding to? Also, I heard Columbine was the issue.

Yeah, I was being naive. Just because I would want to have pride in my work and know something about it, doesn't mean that successful companies won't just focus on sales and be ignorant of everything else. To be fair, though, they were very proud of the "research" they did into translating the names "correctly" for, say, SMT P3... although according to a chick in the audience, they got Aeigis wrong, and my point is, it's pedantic details, not very creative work. Or maybe I had no point. I'm not sure anymore.  
 
Also, Atlus has since converted the video from the talk to a 7-part series and put it on their YouTube channel thingy, here's a link to the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=03B9D7DB664178E8
