or localizers did their job and localized the game.

More like they way overstepped what was necessary to just change whatever as whatever they wanted it to be. Sometimes localizing names can be nice, but in a lot of cases, there's no reason for the changes. How on earth is changing Acadia to Indol somehow a good change? They localized the game too much and it's really detracting from my enjoyment. A lot of the name changes really are baffling.

I'm fine with that being the sacrifice for a better sounding naming scheme. Localizers shouldn't be worried about people that play with japanese audio, and use english subs, and know enough japanese to know when the subs don't match. It's already throwing those people a bone to include dual audio.

The names are so much worse and there's no theme. Pyra is an already dumb replacement for Homura and Mythra is completely awful as a replacement for Hikari. At least Pyra invokes the fire theme, whilst Mythra isn't going to make people think of light. The localization in this game feels nearly as bad as calling a rice ball a donut.
