Current Events - Localisation discourse over Daitaku Helios, newly added into the Global version.
"Discourse" over this is really funny because this is one of the few times where I think the English translation being full of zoomer slang and meme references actually makes sense; because isn't that the closest analog to the gyaru slang she uses in the original JP?

Whenever people defend localization, they basically go , "ermmm Japanese is a highly contextual language that you cannot comprehend unless you study Murasaki Shikibu's entire literature and derivatives. Even then, its nouns require three translators because they change depending on the phase of the moon." To defend a character's gyaru rendering and butcher her characterisation to a quirkychungus zoomer who says, "Highkey sussy rizz, 'kay?" Bet, no cap... Skibidi?" As if valley girls don't exist and couldn't have borrowed from their slang and syntax.
"Toreppi," "ojou," the "cchi" suffix, and "paisen" are the Japanese equivalent of Jabberwocky and are thus difficult for English audiences to understand. Therefore, translating them as "BB Flo," "Rubae," "Palmz," "Memmy B," or "Ogurizz" is better.

Eh not really, I think gyaru slang is more like the Japanese version of valley girl

you see, you can't simply translate "Practice makes perfect". as no such term exists in English Dictionary. this is why we must translate it as "GOATED NO CAP FRFR SKIBIDI RIZZLER" instead.
if you want to vandalize the work, at least admit you just hate Japanese culture. and even valley girl would be better than the things the translation team does at times.
OR. even better. Shocking even I might admit. is to keep the ORIGINAL INTENT in the writing. so that people that enjoy the work can learn something new. rather than just do whatever. The game has voiced dialogue after all. and we can hear that the text on screen does not match the dialogue spoken. (see also censoring of Christmas in a christmas event doing year 1)
