is it seriously true that WotL is a made up translation? If so, that's ridiculous and stupid and AAAAAAAAAARGH
yup. IIRC when the PSP re-release was getting brought over, Square was like "let's strengthen the ties with FF12 and make the script more like 12's script." so the retranslation and all the flowery stuff was invented in the translation process.
there's a FAQ someone wrote here a few years back before the PSP rerelease where he retranslated the actual work. it made a lot more sense than either of the translations we got.
As far as I know there is no Japanese version of the script that resemble what we got with WotL.
