This is a sentence in a promotional video for an upcoming game.

Narrator: このゲームはクエストが満を持して贈るシミュレーションRPG！

Google translate gives: _This game is a simulation RPG presented by Quest!_

But, removing the [満を持して] part, google still gives the same translation: _This
game is a simulation RPG presented by Quest!_

On another website, 満を持して is given as: wait for the right moment; wait until
the perfect timing

So what gives?

question
grammar kanji syntax word-usage
What form does 満を持して贈る take on here in this context?
満を持して in this context (a promotional material) means that the company has
spent a lot of time and effort in manufacturing the product, brushing up its
quality, and keeping it up until the right time has come to deliver it to the
market. It is a form of
[満を持す](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E6%BA%80%E3%82%92%E6%8C%81%E3%81%99-389916).

Personally, I think it is a bit of a cliche, carries a sense of vanity, and
ultimately means little. You wouldn't lose much in reading Xが満を持してYを贈る as just
"X presents Y". So I think Google Translate is somewhat justified to omit the
part in this case.
