Might as well have all characters suddenly start speaking in brainrot.
...I don't actually understand what you're replying to here.

Anyway, If you go back and do old ARR - HW side quests you see characters use random prose, archaic words, and sayings all the time that rarely get brought up again. The localizers trying something different and having it only really be consistent in that single questline isn't actually that unusual.

I really don't think there's anything to get upset about here to be honest. If you were worried about something like brainrot(?), I'd have been worried long ago when the Scions basically all started using less flowery language minus an "aught" and "naught" thrown in sometimes so that it would (admittedly, understandably) be easier for newer localizers to keep up with.
