    It's unfortunately that the game isn't available in your first language, but that doesn't mean that the English-language version ought to cater to people who are not native English speakers, as that would hurt the experience for its main audience, which is English speakers. I disagree with the direction of the localization on many, many points, but in this one instance I have to give their efforts my whole-hearted support; while the localized dialogue might leave out big chunks of the story, or make needless changes to characters and dialogue just for the lulzs, something they've gotten in trouble for multiple times at this point and yet continue to do, it sure as hell sounds great, at least in text form. The dialect used is just archaic enough to give the game some flavor without being difficult to parse for a native speaker of the language. Most importantly, they never make any of the little grammatical errors common when writers who don't know what they're doing try to write in this style.


    That said, I would love to see a second English text option made available, with plainer/more modern English and a more faithful adherence to the Japanese script. I see enough people complaining about both of those things lately that it seems like it could be a serious QoL improvement at relatively little cost to implement.
