    Don't apologize, just fix it.

    Actually, one could argue that the opinion of the paying customers matters much more than anything else, since its their willingness to keep paying subscription fees that will make or break the game?

    And I don't know about anyone else, but doing better in the future isn't good enough for me, especially considering the Heavensward translation, which is the product of that attempt and still contains some glaringly necessary changes to the script. If someone does something incorrectly, aren't they usually expected to do it over the right way? While I'm very happy to see that SE as a company and Corvinoobus as a person are big enough to come out and publicly admit and apologize for their mistakes, it's almost meaningless if they're not actually going to fix those errors.

    I can almost understand not rerecording the English dialogue, even though it would be the right thing to do; the funds might simply not be there. But they absolutely must fix the text so it's accurate, whether that means the text no longer matches the English voice acting, or they just offer the option to select between the accurate translation and the over-localized one.
