If that's true and happens consistently throughout the game, I don't think it's a good fit. More on that later.

The only translation wierdness I cant stand is the overly literal ones. Early on they translate yoroshiku onegaishimasu to "Please Take Care of me" when youre introducing yourself to Sojima and it made me roll my eyes.

Atlus Japan prolly intervened there. I usually see it translated more elegantly.

You're hosed if you have a criminal record in a lot of countries, but in Japan you'd stick out way more due to its low crime rate.

Atlus translations have always been kinda screwy, even when they were an Index subsidiary. I'm pretty sure every Etrian Odyssey game has had flat out mistranslations in them, including in skill descriptions.

But I mean specifically Japanese Atlus coming over and "correcting" the english VO. I don't remember hearing that for Catherine or for any of the p4 spin off games.

Considering that the translation and even the odd pronunciations seem to let up somewhat once you're out of the first arc, I wouldn't be surprised if Atlus JP just came in, cocked everything up for a week, and then left. More than likely it was a case where they were worried about the game due to Atlus US losing its main translator, so they came in to try and help and were extremely hamhanded and out of touch about everything. There's a good number of people in Japan who think they know English better than they do - and I'm not making that statement in a weird way, there's a lot of people in the us who took spanish in high school and think they have a way better grasp on it than they do, and learning English when your first language is Japanese is a way harder thing to learn than English > Spanish. If someone like that came in and they got heavily involved not just in coaching the dub actors' pronunciations but the translation itself, there wouldn't be much Atlus USA could do.

Keep in mind this is just rampant speculation on my part, but we do know for a fact that someone from Atlus JP basically mandated the weird pronunciations, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think they got involved with some of the dialogue too.

I like how the description for the final miniboss of the first palace is "Torn King of Desire", although I'm not quite sure if it was Mara without the chariot, or just a demon that looks like Mara's, uh, well, head.

Falling...
Just got through the marathon of cutscenes and introductory stuff, about to head into the first palace as a full group of three.

Kamoshida is every lovely gym teacher I've seen, all rolled up into one and given an extra dose of being king rear end in a top hat of poo poo mountain. I'm looking forward to kicking his rear end in his palace.

I don't like the heavy undercurrent of misogyny that's been prevalent so far. I know we're meant to see these adults as complete and utter jerks (every single one, it seems), but it gets really unnecessary and blatant at times. There was the one conversation between the two students about Ann, how you don't "mess with Kamoshida's bitch" or something like that. What the hell was the point of that little scene? The player already knows the rumors about Ann and Kamoshida, so having that scene and lines shoved in there just seems over the top.

That little nitpick aside, I'm enjoying the hell out of this game! Ryuji seems like an okay guy (dude needs to calm the hell down though - he's a real reactionary). Morgana is... okay so far. Like it's voice better than Teddy's, that's for sure.

Tokyo is a nightmare to navigate. I miss Inaba and the small town feel, and I keep hoping to run into a Junes where I'll find Yosuke as a middle aged store manager.
