Awful? No. But noticeable and distracting at times? Yes. There were certain words either misspelled or missing entirely. This happened for about 10% of the game so you won't see it all the time but that's no excuse. |

People over at r/Falcom sent abunch of emails to Falcom and it actually got covered on some Japanese news website: http://jp.automaton.am/articles/newsjp/20171006-55650/, so I would like to think that this is our saviors over at Falcom responding and telling NISA to fix it, not them wanting to fix it on their own accord.

Yeah, NISA knows that Xseed is chomping at the bit to get Ys back, so this is in large part probably being done out of fear that Falcom may decide the publisher switch was a mistake. |

English is not my first language, so for me It wasn't that terribile (the irony of being a little ignorant!), but if they fix at least the worst errors It can only bè a good thing!

Oh come on now, Persona 5's translation/localization was perfectly fine. Sure, maybe if you look at every line under a microscope then you can find a couple of awkward lines to hack together a clickbait piece for Kotaku or Polygon or whoever, but there wasn't anything that was immediately noticeable while I was actually playing the game. |

kyokun47, take a look at the press release hyperlinked in the 1st paragraph of this article.
In that hyperlink, there's a part that stays:

Unacceptable localization especially with a game that Laxia is in. Instead of getting it right the first time, you now have to do it again when you could have been working on something else. I hope this is a lesson to each publisher to get it right.
