    There isn't really any "original intended language" for this game... Had the story and everything been completely developed in japanese first and then translated/localized, you may have had a point, but that's really not how they do it this time around.

    Japanese and English dont jive. At all. There is no way on Earth to localize those two languages into a consistent message while remaining faithful to both languages. Translating from one to the other requires you to sacrifice some linguistic integrity. I get your point, but in light of the task I would cut them some slack. Granted, they abuse the Middle Ages dialogue.
