Topic	If I had nickel for every time Square Enix reused names for their IP characters

During translation, they decided Tina wasn't exotic enough and changed it to Terra. Then KH didn't bother to change the translation of the (not reused in JP) Terra name. Heck even in the 1st example, technically the Japanese version of the name is closer to yuku than it is rikku, which is different than the kh riku. <cite>Revisited posted [p:979833154] in If I had n...
