They can call it what they choose. I'll use whatever the playerbase settles on, be it vanity, glamour, Sacred Moon Prism Gambit Trance Costume Break, whatever.
Yeah that's pretty much what the devs said. "The players would be confused" because more games used the I->II->III etc naming instead of -ra, -ga, etc. Then it erupted into a "no they didn't/yes they did" discussion.


The devs seem to be very afraid of their player base being stupid if you recall the reason they gave for not giving us the right click -> Blacklist in chat box at first: "Players may accidentally blacklist friends." They went back on that, so, they're not completely adamant on these things, but stubborn? Oh yes. Very much.
