Good introduction is in his introductory video: "Everything You Know About FFXIV is Wrong: A Realm Rewritten"

Why would I need to go watch some streamer on youtube? In case you missed it I already said I can translate those things myself since I'm learning Japanese, I even outlined the change I that I verified myself in my reply to you.

What I am asking for proof is your "claim" about the reaction the JP dev have about his "way".

I'll be blunt, I don't know who this youtuber is, but if your post is a reflection of the content than ... let's say I already know what the video gonna be like. I watch enough content creators to know that 90% of them often attached some outrageous claim or hot-take to help drive-engagement, often making a half-lie or conjecture based on a granular of truth. If your interpretation of Gaius is an echo of this youtuber ... I'm not sure I would place much value in their interpretation in general. I watch them purely for entertainment, I don't treat them as influencer. Now it's fine when people just state their opinion, but whenever someone make something that sound more like a allegation or accusation I often ask for proof. It's the same reason why I asked the other poster to show proof for their claim that the Harchenfault's change was due to sexuality or that Yoshi published chew Koji's out for it.

Like I said, I'm capable of understanding Japanese so I can verify thing myself. Also most of the change due to localization have been well documented for years in the community. So it's weird to hear about new angles and allegations that suddenly pop out of nowhere ... which again in my experience ... usually the result of someone found their new favorite streamer/youtuber/influencer. So unless there is an official statement or proof provide, I tend to trust my BS meter when it goes off and treat these kind of things as hearsay. But I also have a morbid curiousity, so I'm very interested in (real) proofs, and it's there I won't deny it.
