This frequency of English localization issues is unacceptable

[Jojoya]

You're beyond annoying. I keep saying it doesn't matter who the blame falls upon and I'm not pinning it on any person in particular, not in my original post, nor in any of my posts now. I'm trying to stress that but EVERY post of yours is shifting said nonexistent blame. The localization, in my opinion and in many others', has problems because it has a bunch of differences from the other languages.

Do tell me what I'm doing wrong by saying that I don't want them to be writing their own story and would rather have them sticking as close to the original as localization allows, since you're some genius expert apparently. I'm sure these people work vewy vewy hawd on it but I don't like the product. Knowing or not knowing the situation doesn't change that I don't like the product. Whoever was behind the decision to fundamentally change a bunch of important lines doesn't change that I don't like the product.

And it's been explained it's intended to have differences because it's localization not translation.

They're not going to change how they're doing things because you don't like the product. You are always free to set your game client to a different language.

Then what does that make FR and DE? Are they no longer localizations because they don't have vast differences from the JP text?

This one post just PROVED you didn't read a single word I said nor cared to understand it.

Way to go. Continue being disrespectful and ignorant.

But to answer you, and give other people a TLDR: No, they're still localizations, and they're closer to true localizations you'll ever have. What EN did is... complicated.

Are you just like, extremely confused or something? That's literally the point I'm trying to make.

No, I'm not confused. You're just going on a loop. You wouldn't have asked that about FR and DE if you had read what I wrote instead of constantly complaining.

Also yeah. That's the problem. But that's not a localization problem. So stop calling it that.

My god, it's like you don't even know how to bloody READ.

That isn't a logical or feasible request for many people. Perhaps instead of that bizarre workaround, the English localisation can simply...tell a cohesive and coherent story that doesn't mysteriously change the meaning and context of particular scenarios in order to intentionally or unintentionally falsely credit characters for things they did or did not do?
