There's quite a few interesting points being made despite the palpable levels of animosity on this thread. Human sociology and the concept of righteousness and perceived correctness of ideas is funny.

On the one hand, casual players/fans will likely not bother to invest in the original games and becoming fluent in Japanese and the Japanese's idea of what English is supposed to be, meaning that they're only being exposed to the localized terms (whatever their level of quality is, that's been debated enough here.)

More... "invested" fans would probably appreciate the use of translations of the original Japanese terms moreso than what they (evidently) perceive to be lackluster translations, because they're willing to hunt for that extra bit of meaning or truth that could be found from those terms that was lost in translation by the localization (which is a strange yet also intriguing train of thought, because Japanese is a language which has many awkward results when attempting an exact translation).

I prefer to join our Administrator Night Vision's relatively neutral stand on this, as both sides seem to be waving their postions' respective flags pretty strongly to the point that it's hard to want to fully support either one.

That being said, I must give my two cents, as I feel that the ramifications on whether to be a decisively localization or translation based website will ultimately dictate the BlazBlue wiki's future, and either this wiki will turn off newer fans to the series who will get lost navigating this site, or the veterans will be disgusted by the concept of catering to the whims of the localization company and leave.

On any wiki, these kinds of toxic edit wars beg the question as to whether some members have started to convince themselves that they own the entire flow of information from a widely recognized and beloved franchise, when in fact none of us really own this franchise, we just love it.

In short, please treat each other with respect and be adults. Do not make accusations of character towards wiki staff or demands for their resignation, and please don't turn your ire on the community by name-calling them autistic or retarded or such. Be better than those who only feel self-worth by trolling others and picking fights

Please continue to take good care of the BlazBlue wiki
