I think there are enough lackluster MMOs on the market and a high percentage of those filled with terribly boring translations and I'm glad FFXIV isn't one of them.
I'm not sure why you don't see the problem. The hunter scholars are supposed to give hints on spawning the s ranks. At least 2 of the hints given by the English hunter scholars are were localized in such a way(nandi and garlok) that their hint is no longer in the text given. That's not good localization in any way, no matter how creative.
