The localization for GS took 9 months at most (finalized Japanese ROMs have a build date of October 17th, 1999 while the finalized English ROMs have a build date of July 7th, 2000), and I really doubt NoA was trying to localize a game with such a volatile development history while it was still being developed. Just goes to show how uninvolved NoA was with the games themselves back then. Now localization is often decided from the outset of the project and the development team coordinates with localizers.
