    Endwalker Greek Naming for monsters [SPOILERS]

    Hello there i am native Greek living in Australia at the moment.
    I studied 6 years of Ancient Greek (and ofc modern Greek) so i feel pretty confident in my suggestions.
    I love the Greek implementation in the latest expansion and it's by far the most accurate i have ever seen in any game i have ever played. (most are nonsense, or without any context)
    I tried to find Koji to tweet @ but couldn't find his handle.

    For the most part there are a lot of Greeklish names of how a modern Greek person would type in a chat, which is really cool. I noticed a lot of Ancient Greek as well which was cool but kind of makes people not able to pronounce some words if they adapter to Greeklish and vice versa.

    The goal of this post for me is to put suggestions in for anything i see in the game that has Greek naming and could be put into better wording. Like the 87 Monster Ouranou Medusa, could be written better as Ourania Medousa (That would be the Greeklish writing) Ourania is the word when it becomes an adjective. Since Medusa/Medousa is female it goes like Ourania (emphasis on -a on the end) If it was a male it would be Ouranios(-os) and neutral Ourianio (-o).

    I have noticed a lot of others along the way and i will keep Updating this post but for now i will leave this.

    If the localization cares for such a thing please let me know I would love to contribute.


    PS: "Tsai tou vounou" ( tea of mountain / Sideritis) had me crying as it's from a meme song in Greek
