It no doubt is but, like a lot of things in Japanese, it just doesn't translate well because we don't use words like that commonly in the same manner. Especially as a direct address to someone who we already are acquainted with.

Its one of those places where a localization is supposed to actually do something, instead of just taking the literal route and letting it sound awkward the entire game.

Especially as they could easily just plug your name in there and not have that section be voiced, as they do with literally every other character. That's "blank self insert JRPG character" 101.
