Weird english

[Nestama]

I still consider it to be the main source as they are taking from it and turning into their own flow of things. Every main FF game we know of has always originated from Japan being the main source. Not sure what more to say about it.

Then blame the Japanese team for not making the English localisation team directly translate everything. Or deal with it.

I came up with a solution to this problem in 2014 and that was to play FFXIV completely in Japanese. So I'm good but OP was asking why the English was weird, that's how this thread started. IMO EN Localization team has been given to much liberty in their work so is the JPN Dev team to blame? Yes I suppose so but how but we fix this issue by staying more true to the source Nestama? The quote below explain really from dev to community how things work and a lot of people including me in this thread have noted that.

These individuals are expected to work side by side with the development teams here in Tokyo as they transform the JP source into flowing, natural text in the target language, while taking care to ensure that players in all regions will have comparable emotional experiences.

Because what we're getting now is fine as it is.

Fine, that's fair. But there are people who don't agree with your post.

[Nestama]

And there are people who do.

Personally, I don't know Japanese. And I enjoy the way they localized the game.

Well lets hope that things can balance out for people on both ends.

My deepeth condolences to did burst thy bubble, but the authorities will seldom cater to thy whims when what they hasn't even but now satisfies the majority of their playerbase. Mayhap thee can just dealeth with it and recognise yond thou art the vocal minority, although it seemeth unlikely with how much thee still harp on with the "original script" rust.

C'mon you really struggled with that part.

I actually could not dement that part enough. My knowledge of middle-english isn't as good as I believed it was.
