Many classic games never got translated (like Fallout 3, one of Botan's favourite games) and/or were completely broken.
Also Square Enix used to take full advantage of that shit, like their infamous Japanese translation for Tomb Raider that you had to BUY AS A $30 DLC.

They finally made it free a few months ago, too.
