    I checked in with the other languages for help here.

    The name of the Crystal Tower enemy is spelled Valefor in English, German, and French and バルフレー in Japanese.
    These spellings all match the Final Fantasy III incarnation.

    The name of this alleged "summoned beast" is spelled Valfore in English, Valfaris in German, Valefore in French, and ヴァルファーレ in Japanese.
    These spellings all match the Final Fantasy X incarnation.

    Much like Titan (Tie-tun) and Titan (Tea-tahn), the name was localized into Japanese differently by installment, allowing both names to be used in Fainaru Fantajī XIV while potentially leaving other languages to fend for themselves. (Shout out to my man Titan, aka Phlegethon. Not Acheron. Phlegethon.)

    If we get an FFX-esque Valfore, I imagine they'll have to retcon adjust the name or spelling of the one in Labyrinth of the Ancients.
