Eat a cock pretty much hits the nail on the head.

less of a localization and more of a memification of the original script.

Why is it allowed? Nintendo's localization branches in NA/EU are made up of people from those respective regions, who are very much reddit and shitbook ford drivers and then get to impose their flavor/flavour of their respective shit into the script for it to "better fit their region for the widest audience".

That audience ain't us.

Better than removing entire sections of a script (generally to censor "objectionable content") and replacing it with made up bullshit that somewhat matches the animation keys and ends up being the same length as the original stuff and more easily get the "T" rating (or age 13+ in EU). Barely. Certainly not enough to consider forgiving them for butchering the game script (or, the game itself).

It's dog shit.

it's a large part of what drove me to start learning japanese and importing games. so yeah, not a fan.

SONY censoring every JP VN... *sigh*
