This frequency of English localization issues is unacceptable

I was wondering why this 9-month old thread was back up front.

I think I speak for everyone

I stopped reading right there. You dont. Anyone who thinks they speak for everyone is naive at best. People who say it? Usually have their head shoved so far up their own backside that they can see boogers and smell mouthwash.

If they released a faithful translation of the game, literally everyone who plays FFXIV would enjoy it all the same. No one would complain and everyone could take solace in the fact that the vision of the game they're playing is in-line with what everyone else has.
But that's not the case. Even the OP of this very thread has highlighted some very real discrepancies with how the game's textual and narrative content is presented for seemingly no reason. I can also provide some examples, where certain things are either changed or omitted that completely change certain things like character's motivations and personalities, or where unnecessary dialog fluff is added because someone thought that the original text was too boring.

I say this in terms of 'speaking for everyone' because people who mindlessly overlook these issues are also the same types of people who either seemingly have no internal monologue or just mindlessly consume whatever it is they're fed.

But that would be unfair, wouldn't it?
