Because even though I had the references and things I didn't want to ruin the surprise, but don't let it get on you, it's my fault reading this thread afterall =)

Because a translation error is definitely the same as a lie.

This is the Japanese one.

French one

German one

Maybe Japanese people never saw that, and therefore it's new for them. We'll get something different anyway, same for German and French people =)

The translators represent the company, their job is to deliver the 100% correct message to the general public. In any case, Square Enix needs to give some answers on the subject.

Translators doesn't represent the company as much as the developers represent their company. They didn't pass along false info, as usual it's just people looking for a scapegoat.

Some of you seriously need a life...its gross. I wish you had to put your real life name on here bc some of you would think twice before posting this nonsense.

Translator Job Description
Translators convert written material from one or more 'source languages' into the 'target language', ensuring that the translated version conveys the full meaning of the original as clearly as possible. The target language is usually the translator’s mother tongue.

Job duties and tasks

1) Check original texts or confer with authors to ensure that translations retain the content, meaning, and feeling of the original material.

2) Check translations of technical terms and terminology to ensure that they are accurate and remain consistent throughout translation revisions.

3) Proofread, edit, and revise translated materials.

And Japanese > English is well known with having certain things mistranslated not being of lack of proof reading but because of the nature of the native language (Japanese.) It's mostly the English language is very literal when it comes to certain terms, since in actuality it is 'new concept art' being released, but of course people expected it to be 'never before seen concept art' when regarding the term "new.'

If they said 'never before seen', then we'd have a problem.

"Get a life" is the most poorly conceived, non thought out, fall back ad hominem I've ever seen, and you need to stop posting for using it.
