Hello. As I try to find time and work on my requests, I'll be using the queue to share some more unposted things. Mostly as a way for them to stop accumulating dust at my drafts page, y'know...
BUT before that there's a small issue I'd like to discuss, and it's the Naming Conventions used on this blog.
Until VR, the main hub to search for Inazuma Eleven characters has always been the wiki, which uses "romaji" versions of the original japanese names (Ej Gouenji Shuuya instead of Axel Blaze). However, with Victory Road we now have Inazugle wanting to be the main source of information instead, which uses the DUBBED english names. So sometimes I wonder, if the fans go more and more to Inazugle for information then should I use the localized names instead in my posts?
I get this problem isn't that prevalent with FFI Quartet since most of the names barely changed within the localization (TGH is the most affected), but for anyone outside the group then it's going to be slightly complicated 💀
I know there's a third way on this and it's the UNTOGGLED dub names, which also have their differences vs the names used on the wiki (EJ Gene Baker vs Jean Baker, Rajji Paara vs Ladji). The problem with these however is that L5 hasn't even added them to Inazugle yet nor the wiki has adopted them neither, so I think these names are the least known within the fandom. Plus I don't have the main source for them, the actual Victory Road game, and other sources are 1- fan datasheets which are left abandoned 2- gameplay videos that might not be the best reliable source as updates go by.
So, as a tl;dr, here's an example of what is currently bugging me right now:
So... Which names should I use going foward?
Dubbed names (Inazugle)
"Romaji" names (Inazuma Wiki/Fandom site)
Untoggled dub names (I'll find them myself, pretty much)
If you're wondering about the cons of each option, then my best guess is that the dub names aren't that popular with everyone in the fandom, while the wiki names are always subject to be changed to the untoggled dub ones.
And as for the untoggled names' cons... Not only they're also just as unpopular (yet) but I also despise some of them (Bruce MERLIN and Rajji). Plus they're also subject to change (I think?).
Feel free to discuss this further on the comments!
