I've since been told it's but one of many translation errors in EW. Particularly frustrating because much of what this forum takes as canon is actually worded so differently in FR, DE, and JP that my foreign friends have started mocking the EN translation for being so ridiculously bad. I'm beginning to understand why when I talk to some people about EW it's like we played different games.
I am starting to think a huge part of the anger/friction/division over the plot is not the fault of the writers, but of the horrific localization team.

Not sure what is going on behind closed doors, but I am hesitant to put it down to mere incompetence. Maybe they think EN players can't handle nuance?
