the difference in between english version and japanese version of scripts

[Anonymoose]

Torquil is definitely right about it being partly a cultural thing; Japan has a knack for conciseness. On top of this, English is also a very versatile language, and on top of both of those things, the English localization team, since the very launch of the game, has had a reputation in every region for going above and beyond in their content and style. We're quite fortunate, imho.

Also keep in mind that different languages have different text, but still have to use the same number of text bubbles. You know when you scroll "pages" of the speech bubble by mashing a button? If Japanese uses 10 plates, English must use 10 plates... and if Japanese was concise, English either has to have a ton of short plates, or has to have fun fleshing out some filler.
