    A lot of main story dialogue has been grossly rewritten. I don't know what thoughts lead the localization team, but at this point it's borderline made up. I wish this stopped.

    Localization != Translation.

    Or drop a few diamonds on you (Lunar fans might get that reference).

    Localization is not what you think it is.
    Explain to me what cultural traditions, expectations or limitation require to add random memes and references to where they weren't before?

    Explain what harm is done by having memes present!

    1) That line isn't a meme.

    2) It was wholly appropriate within the context in which it was used.

    I actually like the translation choices they make. They are fun and add fun traits that audiences in that specific region can understand. While it may not be identical to the Japanese or German or French, its the differences in translation choices that makes it unique. And if you can understand enough of the other languages, it even adds some replayability so you can see how the other localization teams adapted the story ^_^ Each translation has its own flair.
