I personally didn't enjoy the character of meteion, that doesn't make her poorly translated, it just means I didn't like her.
    That's...not what people are getting at at all.

    They just want more parity between the translations so everyone is getting the same impressions/takeaways from things.

    Even when it comes to things like mechanics, the western localization sometimes opts to use more obscure/colorful terms like starboard/larboard or dextral/lateral where the others use far simpler terms like leftward/rightward. They explicitly stated they changed the spell names for clarity, so why they opted to reduce the clarity in other places is...confusing.

    The only in-game statement we have to "canonize" that was the claim in Unending Codex that Zodiark was born from an "ill-fated wish"...which is another thing I can't help but question how it was translated in other languages.

    As far as outside sources go, Yoshi stated that they "probably" would've met the same fate. but I also distinctly recall Ishikawa stating instead that it was just Venat's fear/belief they would meet the same fate that partly drove her decision.
