    Please use the Japanese name for the vanity system: "Mirage Prism"

    I understand that being a translator for a foreign fan-base is probably a pretty thankless job. So, I want to start by saying I think generally, the localization team does an excellent job. As much as I usually enjoy their work and appreciate the humor they bring to much of the game, I really like the original Japanese name for the upcoming vanity system:

    Mirage Prism

    Now, I know that the English name for this is tentatively being called the "Glamour" system; however, after catching in the latest Live Letter what the Japanese are calling it, I'm really hoping we can ask to keep it the same as them. Mirage Prism has a very fantasy sound to it. I assume the English name is more of a reference to the older concept of a glamour, or a visual charm spell, but I think Mirage Prism has more panache.

    Please, SE, consider changing this!

    I like glamour better, oddly enough for the reason you like mirage prism. It's got the fantasy sound to it. And more traditional fantasy where mirage prism sounds more 'jrpg buzzword' fantasy.

    I imagine it'll still get a nod at the very least though. Like the quest to get it mentions that you cast the glamours with them or something. Perhaps you'd have them as a actual item.

    JRPGs are pure fantasy unless specifically designed to be "realistic" and are almost always linked to the traditional fantasy genre, which makes your post kinda ironic in a sense.

    being more "jrpg buzzword" is more fitting because this is a japanese mmorpg. If you want traditional fantasy this game will never be that. Just look at the v-day events items, very lolita. I get confused by people who want to make japanese games more english. Go play a english game if you feel that way..

    Mirage Prism makes me think of Sailor Moon.

    Not that I mind that any.

    If i recall correctly from the live letter, that is exactly what they intended and said. I personally prefer Mirage Prism, but then i like Sailor Moon.

    Yeah, same.

    I don't really have a preference, though I think "Mirage Prism" sounds more... silly.
