Though, I have to say that I disagree with you calling the original PSX SotN script bad. I really like it (definitely more than the redub), but to each their own I guess.
I think over the years, in light of more information on the original Japanese scripts for a lot of PS1 era games like Panzer Dragoon being butchered in localization, I just found that Blaustein's work in general has aged incredibly poorly. But that's neither here nor there. I will invite you to look into how he kinda recklessly messed around with things in his scripts, esp. in things like Metal Gear Solid.
