i can ' t help but dislike the idea of localizations mostly because of bad experiences , isn ' t it fine to leave some of those things and let people educate themselves ? i mean , live for example , it ' s called love live after all , not to mention every time a live happens irl it ' s marketed everywhere as a live first live , final live , and we also perform lives ingame , so i don ' t get that one . what ' s the point of removing honorifics though , for example ? you can still hear them , not seeing them is quite agitating when you keep recognising chan following names . not to mention rin ' s kayochin for hanayo and nozomi ' s nicocchi and elicchi are pretty significant and tell you a lot about relationships nico and eli are closest to nozomi , and characters rin seems to have misread hanayo ' s name , and stuck with chin instead of chan all the way from back when they were kids , isn ' t that adorable ? but also so confusing to anyone who isn ' t aware of it , and probably wonders why rin never calls hanayo by her name . klab even seemed to have realised this since they began adding nicocchi into the game not elicchi though .
