It's really beside the point though.

It isn't, though. If you're gonna have to google it either way to get the reference, leave it as it, because changing it isn't helping. There needs to be a reason for localization changes, not "everything should be changed by default", which is apparently their stance for every name in the game except for Rex, Nia (which surprises me, since that's a Japanese name), and Vandham (who is a XCX reference).

(edit: oh yeah, they didn't translate a single common blade name either, but i'm chalking that one up to laziness)

Not sure why they changed this one but why does it bother you. Same with mor ardain. Unless you specifically choose to play once in english and once in japanese, you'd never even know they are different and being a unique name, it's not like any context or meaning is being lost.

subtitle dissonance with the audio, which was the original topic being discussed here in post #233. I guess if you're not on that wavelength then everything here is pointless, but that's why we feel these random ass name changes are obnoxious

Then you lose context the original had, like homura being a name meaning flame and hana being named flower.

if the names sounded like actual names and not random gibberish versions of existing words it's probably annoy me less, but hana and homura are actual names that people have. i didn't even know that poppi was referencing poppy until after i beat the game, because she's not wearing a poppy to begin with. she's wearing a lily. why the hell didn't they call her lily, that works as an english name way better than poppi
