Playing CS4 now, and I'm glad it has a lot has Japanese audio, because it lets me glimpse into how extreme the localization is. Some of it is whatever, a lot of making up entire conversations out of simple routine Japanese responses, but I guess they don't like the redundancy of conversational Japanese. Sounds like you know Japanese, so I'm not telling you anything new.

I wish I could read Japanese better, as I can only imagine what is going on with most of the text, but I just don't have the drive to learn to read Japanese beyond my basic level. Even if I knew all the Kanji, I don't think I'd ever be fast, which would make a JRPG miserable to play.
