hmmm, I believe the localization team has been doing its damnedest to make the English script as meaningful and intelligible as possible, yes. but I really feel there is some nuance lost at times.

patch 2.5 content spoilers!!I just finished the Chrysalis and the part where Nabriales is destroyed, well. I feel the Japanese dialogue feels better with regards to tone. when Moenbryda sacrifices herself to contribute more aether to the Blade of Light, Nabriales cries out in protest something to the effect of, 'No! I am immortal! I am eternal...!' but the Japanese audio is literally more like, 'No! I'm fading! I'm fading, I'm fading, I'm fading...!' and I don't know, it lends more desperation to the whole situation. it shows us, rather than tells us, how incredible and unprecedented the extinguishing of an Ascian soul really is.


as someone who dabbles in JP -> ENG translation, I get the fact that literal translations sometimes make little sense, but I agree with the OP's point. translation is more than just converting words to another language because there aren't always equivalent words and concepts, and a good translator understands that and adapts to their audience. but still, it does feel as if little bits and pieces of the dialogue are lost in translation.
