I would like a more loyal localization (story quest dialogue)

Doesn't a "road less traveled" mean to divert away from what one has, and embrace an alternative? Either that or I'm sorely mistaken. Then again, a lot of meanings do genuinely get lost during translation. While one sentence means one thing in one language, translating it to another may alter the meaning entirely. Almost nothing can be done about that other than to change the phrases used so that the meaning is as close to the original as possible.

Although this might not be the case as far as what OP is talking about, sometimes there's sayings or references that are widely known in one area of the world (such as Japan) that nobody uses in the NA or EU regions, so sometimes those idioms have to be changed so the audience can actually understand what an NPC is talking about.

I got the meaning of that sentence, but in this case, the message in English has nothing to do with the one in Japanese.

"the road less traveled" English -VS- "don't forget about the new generations" Japanese. You could say the message is implicit, but i don't think anyone can get the same message w/o actually knowing what he is saying in Japanese.
