This video does an alright job at explaining why the Localization is so different

[Kazhar]

What's important to consider is that the English version is not a "translation" or "localization" of the Japanese version. French and German do localizations of the Japanese version. The English version is created alongside the Japanese version and gets the approval of the Japanese team.

I know your post is a very popular claim in the ffxiv community but as far as we know, this is incorrect.

EDIT: I should add that the entire thread and interviews linked there are worth reading, not just the top post which kinda summarises the situation poorly.
