Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026It does actually call into question whether previous games translated by the same group had similar strange errors and it simply wasn't noticed because they didn't have english text with japanese VO which was how this one was spotted. I know I spot bad subtitles fairly often (esp socalled dubtitles) 000
