There's a sidequest in Final Fantasy 16 called Letting Off Steam III in which you can choose to have either Jill or Tarja accompany Clive to go shopping. Jill's version of the quest, however, has a pretty big discrepancy in its translation.

Instead of asking if it's wrong that Jill's enjoying herself, in the Japanese version of the game, Jill asks Clive if she's acting like a "person" would, and Clive says that she is, and that she isn't a monster anymore.

Generally, the localization for Final Fantasy 16 is pretty fantastic, so a difference of this magnitude was kind of shocking. I think this sidequest gives us a lot of insight into Jill's inner turmoil, and the English version comes across as being really bland in comparison, so I wanted to share what I could with the community of Final Fantasy 16 at large.
