    Just because you downplay it to mere advice doesn't mean that it doesn't affect the JP script.

    The differences are pretty staggering for it to be more than "advice," though. The Localization team clearly has a lot of autonomy.

    Advice does not a collaborative writing effort with "no original script" make. It is misinformation to claim that there is no "master script" of the game's original language. There is one, and sometimes foreign opinions on the flow of the story are allowed to influence it.

    Of course someone has to write the original script.

    But if they're giving advice that affects the JP script that actually makes it into the game, yeah, that's a collaborative effort.

    Except that all four languages are released simultaneously. In that respect, the English is just as original as the Japanese. As are the French and German.
