    Language and culture always plays a role in how an audience perceives a character. Feo Ul was so full of character in the English version, and while it took a bit to get used to her, it fits her character perfectly. In Japanese, she's a fairly generic energetic little sister type from an anime. Now if someone is more inclined to enjoy the Japanese language, then they might like her more, and get a different vibe from her characterizations than the English. That's not a bad thing though, that's just culture/language/personalities/preferences.

    personally i much prefer the English version, they put so much effort into creating a diverse culture just through the dialogue of characters from around the world, or from other worlds, as is the case with Feo Ul. I think Thavnair encapsulates this entirely, the way they have an accent that is very distinct to the people of the country.

    Personally, I would like the version the original writers wrote for the character and not a stranger's reimaging of said character.
