Game Pimping: Persona 3 (PS2). Best Damn JRPG there is.

The problem there is, most professional translations attempt to translate them literally, rather than making a more idiomatic translation that would make more
sense in English.

I prefer to leave the honorifics in, because I know what they mean, they're part of the cultural and linguistic context of the source that just doesn't
exist in English, so can't really be translated.

English uses enough loan-words from other languages that I don't see it as being an issue.
