I'm not going to respond to any fallacies since your example does not apply to this. I have played it now so I am in my right to make an opinion.
A difference in translation from Japanese to English, German or French is not an excuse for such an uncreative name in my eyes. You can talk about this all day, but do you honestly think red mage or blue mage is the best names out their to define what the classes irrespectively from the game's history or decisions are.
