I mean the canonical Haurchefant, quest titles, dialog, actor names, etc. that's serviceable and consistent with the JP source material. Yes, it's more work, but ultimately it would be better to have this as an option. A lot of players genuinely do not like the work of the localization, many players are emphatically against 'localization' as a concept and would prefer their content just be faithfully translated.

Also, I've never found any sentence or statement that actually addressed these arguments. I've skimmed the Fanfest three times already just to gauge what they said, and there wasn't much that they said which wasn't already public knowledge.

That would be a lot of extra work. not "easily" as you say.
