Final Omega Tier Final Fantasy Villian Predictions

[Oscura]

I actually have zero interest in fighting Omega so I personally hope it subverts previous raid chains and has the final fight be something else.

Also, for people who keep mentioning Sephirot and Sephiroth, just stop. There's no need to handwave anything. They purposefully misspelled it to differentiate the two. Even in Japanese the primal's name is "セフィロト," Sefiroto. Sephiroth is "セフィロス," Sefirosu. Instead of a handwave they would most likely crack a bad joke about how similar their names are.

I'm still selfishly hoping for a FFX crossover in some regard, personally.

Both Sephirot and Sephiroth are correct "English" transliterations of the Hebrew word, the plural form of Sephirah.

Here is an image to show that the original concept name was "セフィロス," Sefirosu, not "セフィロト," Sefiroto.


As you said the spelling change was most likely intentional, but probably to avoid another issue similar to what happened when the Crystal Tower was being released, the issue with "タイタン" vs "ティターン" as both would/could be Titan to an English audience; Audial cues for western languages vs Visual cues for Eastern languages.

The image might open too small to see you just click on it in the wikia page and you'll be able to see it better.

It is less about correct english translations and more just that it has nothing to do with adding Sephiroth to the game. Hebrew does not exist in FFXIV.

"I don't want Sephiroth in FFXIV," is fine, but having to read constant, "but nael," "but sephirot," "but zenos," is getting tiring. No one needs to justify their opinion.
