For a game heavily reliant on dialogue and character interactions, the Chinese ISO eliminates the “lost in translation” problem, making the narrative and humor accessible without the filter of a second language. The Japanese version, by contrast, rewrites some character personalities to fit local sensibilities, diluting the original chaotic charm.
