    I really don't get these complaints at all...
    English isn't my native language ( I am Swedish ), but I have zero issues with understanding the dialogue.

    In fact I like the quirks the dialogue has, stuff like '' pray return '' and '' pray '' being used a lot is just part of the charm imo.
    I have no issues understanding Urianger either...

    Quite often? Again I disagree. They're not taking that many liberties that we who play in English end up with a completely different game.

    I propose they use a mix of creole and English. Just for the lolz.

    From the quests and fate names, flavor texts, to the dialects and level of formality, the localization is changing a lot, and if you listen to the Japanese audio with the English text, it's jarring. That can give characters very different impressions from JP to EN, for example Haurchefant, Estinien and Midgardsomr.

    I know right!? How dare they use words. I mean supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

    Just a fun fact there use to be cartoons in the 1960s that taught you songs called follow the bouncing ball. Oh hey then there was Sesame Street and Electric company all designed to teach whoever watched it. Fun fact most stories or movies are designed to teach something, a moral or value etc. Doesn't matter if it's a movie, paperback or video game.

    I'd dig this, if it were unique to a particular community. Or, give me any other of many World Englishes.

    Raz-at-Han at its vicinity seems a good place for a truly distinct dialect.

    If he's eccentric in the way he speaks in Japanese, then the localisation team (who work very closely with the writers so things like Hauchefant don't happen again. I'm pretty sure they even need to get approval) did a pretty good job.
