Massive THANKS for your effort. Although I only understand limited amount of Japanese, I can fill the huge discrepancies between the EN "localization" and the Japanese voice. As for otaku culture (mainly for Tora and Hana), they completely butchered this part. This patch is a God sent gift to start my New Game+.

Fxxk all the publisher boot-lickers in Reddit. I will recommend this mod to all future players so that they won't be poisoned by the twisted "localization".

Just finished Chapter 1.
For text cut, the salvagers on the ancient ship deck, when Rex enters the ship, their text got cut (pr --- professional), very minor issue.
The main annoyance is that the inventory seems to be a chaos when listed in alphabetical order. e.g. the Enlightened Loincloth moves to the end of the list.

Finished the NG+. What a ride. Thanks again for this delocalization.
(For inventory order issue, using order by category will alleviate it. Hope it can get fixed in future.)

Later after dealing with the golden monsters, I will post again.
 
Hikari: I get it. You're sick, huh.
(Yandere translates to "sick" seems a little off.)
あー\nアザミって病んでるよね[ML Dash ] - This is the original line, which means: Ah, Azami seems to be suffering from some kind of illness.

I've corrected a few things from what you wrote.
And yes. you're right. Clumsy is a better choice for 不器用 than awkward in this case.

As for those lines that are too long or cut off- that’s a completely separate issue that will need to be addressed in the next phase. We’ll just have to shorten them somehow.

I have a whole list of lines that are more or less cut off (there are about 800 of them in the entire script, most of which are side missions), so you don’t need to report those :) But thanks for your contribution.

Finished the Iira DLC. No issue with the final section of the story. Nice work.

(For future players who want to max the community level (in order to obtain the group photo), that is to say, beat the lv 100 superboss, without grinding to lv 95+, you can adjust the difficulty to custom and a lv 85 party can beat him without too much issue. Screw this damage level scaling design.)
