The localization choices for this hurts my little heart. Why change Aqua to Azura? Why change Tsubaki (camellia) to Subaki (vinegar place tree...?)? It's dumbing down a game that really didn't need to be...

I don't really see the logic in altering some of the Japanese names when the setting pretty much dictates that there really isn't a reason to change them.

Small changes like Tsubaki to Subaki confuse me a lot, especially since something like "Tsu" isn't exactly foreign enough to warrant a change for pronunciation reasons.

I'm interested in seeing how they are going to go about the face rubbing (can't remember the name) dialogue given how suggestive some of it is. Seeing as how "Tharja's boingy bits" went in the NA version, we might just something entirely different.
