Small unrelated thing, because I may as well complain about it here. I preferred Diabolos' FF8 name to his current one. I know it sounds odd but I prefer the pronunciation of "Diablos" (Dee-Ahb-Lows) compared to "Diabolos" (Dee-uh-boe-lows)
"Diabolos" is the correct transliteration of the Attic Greek διἆβολος (lit. "slanderous", but etymologically the origin of English "devil".)
Your pronunciation guide suggests you're mispronouncing it, anyway; it would be better represented as "dee-AH-bo-los". (And the 'los' rhymes with 'dose', not 'hose' or 'boss'.)

The joy of translation. In the French version, he was called Nosferatu.
