Seems I'm not the only who specifically avoids games with a "Richard Honeywood" localization (no offence Richard, just not my style!)
Chrono Cross and Dragon Quest 8 I can live with, since there were other reasons for me not liking either of those games, but the localization for Dragon Quest 4 DS was one of the most disappointing things I had ever experienced, and really pushed me away from the series for a long time after having loved the series up to that point, and 4 in particular. Completely changing the style and naming conventions of everything in order to attract a new audience was like a slap in the face to people like me who grew up with and adored the series. I still will always prefer Babble, Medical Herb, and Wing of the Wyvern!
