It's like how for many they didn't feel anything when Papalymo made his sacrifice all due to them not having started in Gridania. Same thing with Thancred and Y'shtola.

Edit: They could have given us his less pervy self, but still gave us the energetic animations. The guy barely moves in the English version while in all the other ones you can tell he graduated top of his class at "Ascians school for acting". The animation differences for parts of the game is probably one of the few things that annoy me.
Also, let's not forget that while some found him "pervy", others found him eccentric. I just chalk it up to another case of "localizers" acting as a purity test and going "no, no no. This goes against sensibilities. We gotta change it!". Though considering the IP, the whole thing feels silly since there have been characters like Haurchefant in other FF games so it does stink we got such a flat character compared to the JP version. I just find the censorship strange, It would be like playing a Hyperdimension Neptuina game and going "Wow, this game is made for pervs! Look at all the anime bs!".
