But it isn't. If you pay attention to what Midgardsormr is saying, it's exactly the same thing in both languages. The only difference is that he's far more verbose and exposition-dumping in Japanese than in English.

I played it in English first and had no trouble coming away from that scene knowing that a) he was testing us rather than trying to harm us, b) that he was doing so in agreement with Hydaelyn, and c) that the dragons were attacking because of what Ishgard was doing. It's all there in the English text, they just aren't beating you over the head with it the way they are in Japanese.
