    ...about this... have they? The one people tend to point out to being really crappy is FF7's "this guy are sick" translation or FFT's "Defeat Dycedarg's elder brother" moments.
    The Nintendo ones were... quirky. But weren't incorrect or didn't change that much as far as I've seen. So much that people gave some quotes a name: Woolseyism.

    Then again, FF10 does have Macarena Temple, aye? I don't think that's in JP.

    Basically, "what defines as a garbage localization"? Is it text having more or less nuance, is it memes, is it it being butchered...?
