This frequency of English localization issues is unacceptable

Weren't you guys in another thread talking about how the script was hastily rewritten over the course of two weeks before the release of Endwalker? (And that was the reason for the two week delay.)

There's a reason people are making fun of you guys.

That's being pretty facetious. Ishikawa herself admitted in a March 31, 2022 Famitsu interview that her initial run of Endwalker was handed over two days before whatever her deadline was. That has nothing to do with two weeks before release. Yoshida and the team couldn't agree with what she had initially written and had her do rewrites before finally accepting it. If people are making fun of them over something documented and easy to find on the first page of google, it's proving their point. People are attacking them because they have no argument of actual substance.

It's also implied that Ishikawa had content written enough for one expansion, but initially took issue with it being -the- finale. Yoshi had decided that the story needed to end. This is also where we see the mention of Endwalker having potentially taken place across two expansions, one focusing on Garlemald. In the end he decided to cram everything into just one.
