    Something to point out. The english localization since ARR has been this way. It always has been for one reason. The devs know english players like to have more intrigue and mystery in their story so the characters are written far more obtuse. Japanese players found out about this and said it is REALLY REALLY cool. But also felt they got a dumbed down version (Citation needed its been a long time since I remembered what happened) Because the english players got all this mystery and intrigue. For example in ARR middy in japanese states he is testing us to see if we truly are worthy of hydaelyns blessing. But in English he is far more cryptic about what his goal is and comes off as an antagonist. It has always been this way and a vast majority of people REALLY like it. so it seems kind of dumb to complain about the localization. Don't fix what isn't broken.

    I remember a lot of people complaining when they found out midgardsormr's dialogue was so different.

    And I strongly disagree that a lot of people like it. A lot of people have no other option, or don't even know about the differences. And those that do speak other languages usually don't seem to prefer the english version.
