Leonil? Aquina? Alier? Frabela? Gunther? Bonn? Rolenta? ALGIERY?!
We can never be friends again, not after this. You broke my heart. ~~~  |

We already knew Atlus would butcher names, considering how long they were in Japanese.

For most of these characters, their full name does not show up in-game. Plus, they can't possibly try to use that excuse for Leonil/Leonel, Alier/ARIE, Gunther/GANZER, Bonn/Banz, or Rolenta/Lorenta.
They're just LAME. ~~~ |

I don't see what's wrong with most of these names.

They're dumb and there was no reason to change them.

QUOTE Leonil/Leonel No reason, but it doesn't hurt anything. The pronunciation doesn't change. QUOTE Alier/ARIE I like Alier better. It seems like a name, whereas Arie seems like a misspelling of Ariel or Aria. QUOTE Gunther/GANZER Only an idiot would have translated it as Ganzer - which is a stupid name. QUOTE Bonn/Banz I agree and disagree with this one. QUOTE Rolenta/Lorenta. Disagree. I'm glad her name is different so I don't have shades in my mind of the awesome Lorenta from VP. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

QUOTE QUOTE Leonil/Leonel No reason, but it doesn't hurt anything. The pronunciation doesn't change. Doesn't mean it's not lame. QUOTE QUOTE Alier/ARIE I like Alier better. It seems like a name, whereas Arie seems like a misspelling of Ariel or Aria. They were supposed to change it, but they did it wrong. It was supposed to be Arlier. Alier looks and sounds lame. QUOTE QUOTE Gunther/GANZER Only an idiot would have translated it as Ganzer - which is a stupid name. Or you have bad taste. QUOTE QUOTE Rolenta/Lorenta. Disagree. I'm glad her name is different so I don't have shades in my mind of the awesome Lorenta from VP. What a terrible reason. You think it's okay to give someone such a horrid name just so YOU don't have to deal with the association of a different character? ~~~ |

QUOTE . It was supposed to be Arlier. Alier looks and sounds lame. Arlier is a TERRIBLE name. Oh my god. Wait, is it for a girl or a guy? Because if it's for a guy Alier doesn't fit much, but... Well, Arlier is a shitty name either way. QUOTE Or you have bad taste. It's nothing to do with tastes. How was it in Katakana? ガンザー? That would definitely be Gunther. QUOTE What a terrible reason. You think it's okay to give someone such a horrid name just so YOU don't have to deal with the association of a different character? Yes.~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

QUOTE It's ガンツァー Oh dear. Sting is so fucking stupid. I'd still translate it as Gunther long before EVER considering Ganzer. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

I don't really mind the changes, it could be worse.

I see nothing wrong with the translation.
This is like the whole Phantasia thing, where everyone was pissed the main character was named Cress instead of Cless, and the summoner was Claus instead of Klarth. |

I wish that was true for the majority of the name changes I've seen so far. At least half of them make no sense given the katakana, though I'll concede that Leonil/Gunther/Rolenta do.
