I was more or less suggesting something like this, what this thread suggests.
again, no lol. so before you wonder why i say no. let me explain. first off. there has never been a direct 1:1 translation between japanese and any other language. Even if they didn't water him down for the west, you still wouldn't have gotten it conveyed properly as to what he was before the change. theres just no way to do a direct translation and be accurate enough. Anime is a huge example of this in both the sub and dub department. they lose an aweful lot in translation and it ends up being a bit different. i mean the point of the episode is there but its conveyed a bit differently in other languages. So the only way you will essentially get the experience you want is to understand japanese and play the game in japanese so you get the experience you seek.
