I still can't find what people are taking issue with here. The article doesn't really explain.
The complaints are largely, as she says, "sacrificed accuracy for flowery prose." Japanese games in this setting still often follow in the footsteps of early Dragon Quest and the Final Fantasy games set in Ivalice by not strictly using contemporary English.
I think it's an interesting conversation when it can be divorced from "removing insensitive language is censorship" crowd.
