What's important to consider is that the English version is not a "translation" or "localization" of the Japanese version. French and German do localizations of the Japanese version. The English version is created alongside the Japanese version and gets the approval of the Japanese team.

Personally, I love the English version, and have always been satisfied throughout the time MC Koji-Fox was in charge of it. It's humorous, it's serious when it needs to be, and it tells a solid story. In all seriousness, just sit back and enjoy the game. Some people I think get frustrated because they are taking a form of entertainment way too seriously.
