    I wish I could ask someone who experienced the story with his original characterization.
    I would echo others in this topic and say that I would have felt nothing / little for his death if the JP script was in EN.

    I already dislike Alisae's & G'raha's more subtle...enthusiasm about our character, JP Haurchefant would leave me despising his character with all my being. I play games to have fun, not having my proxy insert for myself get hit on or commented with any sort of sexual tone - such things should be left entirely to the player to activate & pursue on their end, not forced on them. His localization was 100% the correct move in my own view. They only apologized after the fact because you had a small minority complaining too loud, and a simple apology is effortless to give to placate them, instead of the alternative route of introducing an utter creep of a caricature and pray that the NA fanbase likes him.

    Characters that even remotely act like JP haurchefant in media get labeled as creeps & perverts in EN media, for good reason.
