Is it possible the EN localization team has some kind of hidden hatred for the players? Are they purposely giving us a worse experience?What scene is this?
It's similar with anything involving Emet. Going through 5.0 as an EN player I thought the WoL was a random reincarnated Ancient with no particular connection to Emet. The first hint there is any is Shade!Hyth in Amaurot who tells you that you're someone Emet surely recognized which, without any other context, doesn't mean much. I remember when I got to 5.3 I thought, I needed this context of their relationship in 5.0. Why wasn't it there? Turns out it was there, explicitly, in any other language but EN.
In EN when Emet first sees the WoL he says is "with a soul such as that", there's no indication he recognizes you or that you meant anything to him. The cutscene before the Hades trial, in EN he says, "No... it can't be... Bah, a trick of the light!" In JP he says, "Impossible! You... how can you be here? No... it's not... you're not him/her." That's a huge difference in context. Going through ShB with context is basically an entirely different experience.
