Lmao what the fuck is that? You're wrong to play in a language that you wants to play? And what if the person likes more the japanese language than the english one or don't care at all about it? What if you don't speak the language and wants another that sounds better? This is a completely joke.
And yes, the original is completely better than the english one but that's not the problem here with your post.
Taking the "you're doing it wrong" comment seriously is the complete(ly) joke here, I'm afraid.
Anyway, regarding Xenoblade, I find the Japanese dub barely tolerable for most main characters. For Xenoblade 2, Nia alone is so much better characterized in English, playing with the Japanese dub would completely change my considerations about her as a character.
I've had my experiences in Japanese vs English dubs. I can tell which one I prefer, which one suits characters better. There's plenty of JRPGs that I'd rather play with Japanese voices, and in many cases, where the original dub was available, I did. Not for Xenoblade, though.
Is it wrong? Of course not! Play what you like. But stop acting like there's rules here, and like the original dub is always unquestionably better, because there's exceptions.
About Ace Attorney... the series is so blatantly Japanese in tone, themes, visuals, names,
everything, while still retaining an overall western
look, that the only way to make it viable outside of Japan was to do what was done. What you
see in the Ace Attorney games is pure West, except of course when you visit places like Kurain Village. This is the main difference from The Great Ace Attorney, and one of the key reasons why that spinoff is so much more difficult to bring to the West (Sherlock Holmes rights notwithstanding).
The game would not have worked in English in any other way. Just saying it loud and clear that the game is set in Japan would have made its critical and commercial reception much less than it is, and we probably wouldn't be here whining that Capcom won't give us physical versions of the new games, because Capcom would likely have stopped the localizations altogether before or immediately after Apollo Justice.
The thing is, Ace Attorney in English
works. And it works like a charm. The conflict between its undeniable Japanese origins and the translated version pretending to be set in America is part of what makes it so goofy and charming -
which is precisely what the game strives to be in Japan.
The translators painted themselves into a corner - yet so far, they've always managed to find a way out. 6-4 is the only case that's so brazenly Japanese, no amount of pretending can make you think it isn't.
What matters here, is that the English Ace Attorney games retain their original feel. I highly doubt a more literal, more faithful translations would have achieved the same goal. Do you like the English AA games? Did they make you laugh? Did they surprise you? Are they well written? Did they achieve critical success and satisfying sales? Is AA a series you care for? Do you want more of it? If your answer is yes, then the localization accomplished its mission, and bitching about it is futile.
