In a website it is mentioned this, here the link:

There are 3 situations, of which the most important is that which I put below.

 

 

SITUATION:

When asked at G-Garden whether she still liked Seifer

 

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Rinoa: If I didn't, I wouldn't be talking about it.

 

ORIGINAL:

Rinoa: If I did I couldn't talk about it like this.

 

COMPARISON:

Huh? o.O I checked another source, and it bears out the story guide book, too. It seems the translators either made a huge boo-boo, or mistranslated on purpose to create a lover's triangle between Seifer, Squall, and Rinoa. Whether to go with the English translation or not is up to the gamer, but it seems Rinoa wasn't originally the "tart" she's made out to be in the English version.

Well, how else are we supposed to have backstory for our RinoaXSeifer hentai manga? It just wouldn't work unless the game hinted at it! The English localization team understood that.

Kitase has said before the translation never has to be exact.

 backstory for our RinoaXSeifer?

The English translation lent itself to a love triangle, but the original Japanese leans far more heavily to friendship between Rinoa and Seifer.
