    In the same CS where Ser Aymeric talks about the new genrations, there's a part where Alphinaud mentions that Ishgard just want to use us for its own benefit.

    Then Lucia threatens him by saying something like: Watch your words.
    In Japanese she said something in this line: That is not what Ser Aymeric wanted to...

    She shows a weakness, she cares more about the image of her superior than the protocol, in that point you notice she's not as cool blooded, hard and formal as she tries to be.

    Again, this is not gamebreaking, and you won't notice it, or may not care if you can't understand the Japanese VA, for me this is just disturbing because i can.

    An example of gamebreaking can be the lominsan pirates, i know people who loved limsa but decided to go with another city because they couldn't understand them lol, or some references, like someone said, "the road less traveled" seems to be a reference from classic literature, i never got it that way because i didn't know the reference.

    But that's not what worries me. it's just how the intentions, moods, nature and personalities of some characters are changed in the localization process.
