[Coil raid spoilers] 3.4 T9 Triple Triad card

Eula something Darnus does the impossible and breaks free of tempering, by the city sized Bahamut no less, and turns back into Eula something Darnus, although for all present she is known as Nael van Darnus and is believed that her female form is the result of Bahamut making an error by copying the looks of a woman Nael was thinking about at the time of "his" vaporization at the end of 1.0

This is the part I'm getting really confused about, because according to this link that someone shared on Reddit, the JP dialogues don't have any of this in-character confusion about Nael's gender.

"Nael" doesn't mention her body feeling strange, refers to herself as "the fragile little girl that I once was", none of the characters comment on anything warped or confusing about her form, and Urianger/Alisaie seem to be completely missing their EN lines where they make overt statements about how Nael was resurrected wrongly.

Especially, these lines seem to have been tacked-on to the EN version:

• (Urianger) "If thou hast heard tales of the 'White Raven,' then it is he of whom they speak. Aye, 'he,' I say, for Nael was for a certainty no maid."
• (Alisaie) "Though we may accuse him of bungling van Darnus’s resurrection, I daresay Bahamut was as content to have a handmaiden as a manservant."

I've seen arguments that neither Urianger or Alisaie would have cause to know the truth about Eula, thus their reactions are plausible. But the JP version didn't feel the need to misdirect like that, so I'm not sure if it was the JP writers' intention to leave that kind of legacy in the characters' minds.

I don't know enough to verify this but it is possible that this difference exists only in the english version. Luckily for Koji and co this still works with the information we know.
