This frequency of English localization issues is unacceptable

AFAIK only the localisation lead changed.

And they have always taken some liberties as the team works closely with the writers.

Literally nothing has changed. People complained about Koji all the time with his "localisations" too. Honestly, the first example isn't really even that different, it conveys the same meaning to me.

"Isnt really that different." One is literally saying something that hasnt happened. Theyve witnessed the vaok his power can wreak? Where???

It has nothing to do with being a Zodiark 'fan boy'. Let's not forget that the only reason Zodiark needed to be called forth in the first place was due to Venat refusing to forewarn her people of the approach of the Final Days. As a consequence, Zodiark needed to be conjured forth in order to ensure that Etheirys persisted - which is what the first and second set of willing sacrifices accomplished.

You guys have made up your mind, that 130 page threads is proof enough of that. Nothing anyone says will change your mind.

I've been comparing the EN version to the FR localisation for some time now and there were some other issues which come to mind as well, where points of information are completely dropped out altogether (in yellow) - the three which come to mind are these - there's a few more from EW which I will post if I get some time later on, where you have further context dropped:





(Council in this context is the Convocation)





And...

Another peculiar one is this piece, which doesn't sit too well with what we learnt in EW:





The French version is essentially saying Hydaelyn never wished to destroy Zodiark. There is nothing about her faction being opposed to his creation, which would undermine her entire plan (unless she duped them about it, that is.)

But... Isn't that what the rest of the English screenshot says?

Sundering instead of destroying.

We're hardly a hive mind. With that said, there's certainly many posters who have contributed to the thread(s) outlining the issues and inconsistencies with the narrative framing complete with sources directly reinforcing the points raised. It's hardly coming out of nowhere.

Excellent post!

Why? It's directly relevant to this topic. What "havoc" has Y'shtola or any Scion personally seen Zodiark unleash? The sacrifices were voluntary and essential to summon him at that stage in the star's demise, and it makes zero sense to be what she could be referring to. The French version makes considerably more sense in this context, i.e. the potential misuse he could be put to.
