> characters continuously getting drunk in fiestas (since the common references to "your party" were translated to mean "your party events" rather than "your group of people").

I "fondly" remember getting to the first village outside, and being told "Tu fiesta te espera arriba" (Your fiesta/party is waiting for you upstairs). And there were the characters, all moody and sad, and I was thinking that it was a really shitty party. Until I mentally translated it back to English and understood.
