That's an understatement, try translating katakana for Latin/Hebrew names which are already a pain in the ass to do a direct translation let alone translating them through a difficult language like Japanese. His team got that text heavy behemoth done in ten months which was a pretty monumental task so I'm willing to overlook some of its errors.

Alexander O. Smith is pretty good about localizing, especially his work on the Ivalice titles, and I felt Woosely did well considering the circumstances of his workload and he brought some unique qualities to Secret of Mana, FFVI, and Chrono Trigger, hell I feel many of the name changes he did for VI and CT and apparently Square agrees cause they have never fixed them in any new translation.
