15
1Cloud's flashback of TifaKid Tifa T: Are you ignoring me!? T: (Ignored again) https://youtu.be/Z8ScIyTrMY4The translator explaining the use of again in the JP lines.
16
1Cloud distracting the guards while Team Avalanche is running up the stairs Biggs and WedgeB: You got this!
W: Yeah what he said!		B: All according to plan.
W: As expected! 		https://youtu.be/qs2ngyJ3y48Translator comments how the EN translation here is very different from JP. Compares Biggs's JP lines (focusing on the plan) vs. EN lines (showing his trust in Cloud). Same with Wedge's JP lines (instead of kind of you know saying that he's impressed with Cloud's ability) vs. EN lines (instead he's just saying "yeah what he said" so it's kind of showing his camaraderie with Biggs, that kind of friendship).

*In Italics (comments from the translator)*

18
1Cloud helps Jessie up JessieJ: My hero!J: Thank You.https://youtu.be/peLGak1m-T8The translator thought this line change is kind of strange and saids the EN version is "piling on the flirt" with Jessie while in the JP version she just says "thank you"

Don't you?https://youtu.be/eisgDzcAIW8The translator questions why Sephiroth's EN line focuses more on Cloud's interest on the planet vs. in JP Sephiroth is explaining to Cloud the planet is disappearing.
21

2Aerith explaining the meaning of the flower she gives to CloudAerith A: Lovers used to give these when they were reunited....A: In the language of flowers, it means reunion.https://youtu.be/gkT2LUYJXLEThe translator was highly confused and questions why the EN version changed the lines from the JP version/went down a different path than JP.

EN changing the meaning/symbolism of the flower from JP.
24
2Continuing the flower sceneCloud C: So keep your distance C: I don't give into threats. https://youtu.be/gkT2LUYJXLEIn the JP version of this scene Cloud is suspicious of Aerith while the EN removes the context of Cloud being suspicious and changes it to something else.

*Translator notes there is a difference with how JP and EN potrays this scene.*
25
2When Cloud is surrounded by the guards, one of them sees the buster swordGuardG: Wait! I know that - G: Hey...that sword....https://youtu.be/gkT2LUYJXLEIn JP the buster sword is mentioned while in EN they removed the line about the sword/made it more ambigious than JP.

C: That's what 's always worked for me.
B: Hmph! Well that's all well and good if you're only out for yourself.
B: But the folks down there don't have the luxury of choice, you know? 		C: If you don't like it, you should leave town.
C: That's how I've come to live.
B: That's if you have self - awareness that you are strong.
B: Why don't you try getting closer to the weakness of others a little more?
https://youtu.be/HIg_6biB7I4The translator points out that in the JP version Barret is asking Cloud to be more aware of others/their weaknesses while in EN Barret is telling Cloud how others don't have a choice.
