This frequency of English localization issues is unacceptable

[Tsumdere]

When I read the English version and then the Japanese version, they are almost always more or less saying the exact same thing in different verbage. They may take a few more sentences to say the same thing, but they do. The only thing that is drastically different from JP to EN is Haurchefaunt's personality (which some might argue was for the better).

The story we get is the same as the story JP gets.

What seems to be the issue is that EN speaking players interpret the EN translation in wildly different ways due to more fanciful EN wording.

I feel the need to point out again that FR and DE aren't having these same problems with the JP script. Pointing out side-by-side dialog examples where EN is the outlier among 3 different languages isn't conspiratorial. Whoever is doing the translating/localization for EN, they seem to be struggling with it if I'm being generous and hopefully (especially with the increased activity this thread is receiving) someone can address it so they can either do a better job next time or be replaced by someone else who can.

"Fanciful wording" also isn't an excuse for the discrepancies that have been documented in this thread either.

I think part of the problem is many making this comparison also aren't natively English speaking. They keep referring to the French translation, which leads me to believe French is their native language
