The localisation is very particular about capitalisation of things that aren't proper names when not in title case, you can also discover this by emoting at any character that has a name that is descriptive, for example.
    I probably should've been clearer on what I'm exactly referring to, but it's not the use of it in the actual character dialogue. I've no umbrage with "south horn" being lowercase in actual character spoken dialogue due to its descriptor of the crescent locale. I was probably too hyperbolic by saying "the entire instance" when I meant in the out-of-story UI experience specifically. Apologies!

    Instead, I am referring to the UI dialogue/teleport menu that Jeffroy in the Phantom Village has when trying to access the actual zone instance—which you are referring to as being "title case" mechanically speaking in reference to duty menus. It is not title case in this instance. I'm aware you also mentioned that the menu option is in sentence case, but does this menu not also count as a field/location name in a teleport menu? That's what feels odd to me visually. Instance characters for Field Operations in previous expansions that utilize the same type of menu, like Rodney (Eureka Anemos) have the text in title case. I recognize Bozja doesn't have this due to a different format in phrasing, but "Occult Crescent: south horn" also doesn't feel like the same type of descriptive title as "The Bozja southern front" for Bozja, but rather a subtitle (which is typical grammatically to be capitalized for title names that come after a colon or dash in a name) due to its formatting.

    Therefore, it'd visually look better to be "Occult Crescent: South Horn" for the menu in my opinion. Similar to how south horn is capitalized in the other menus, like the map.

    Edit: It is also capitalized when leaving the duty instance, which further makes me believe it should be while entering it.
