This frequency of English localization issues is unacceptable

[Jagick]

Without reading through all 22 pages of this thread, forgive me if it's already been brought up.

When we received the February 2022 live letter, it was announced that Koji had actually been working on FF 16 since some time during Shadowbringers and that the new girl, Kate, had actually been leading the localization and translation since then. Could that explain the downgrade in the English translation compared to every other language? Either inexperience, bias, or simply another person's take on the translation and context? I've seen it more and more throughout games these days where the localizers take some pretty heavy and sometimes egregious liberties with the translations they make. Some of them just can't help but inject their own personal writing into the subject matter for some reason.

Edit: Read through several of the pages and apparently this was talked about multiple times. It's still what my money is on, as I assume as lead, Kate would be calling the final shots on the English localization.
