I reflexively almost voted for Infinite Undiscovery upon seeing it, but stopped myself and actually read the other options Various Daylife has to be it, although Lost Sphear gets a shout out for dumbest single word in a title --- For your Azuarc .

I've never heard of VARIOUS DAYLIFE but I have to give it points because I was like, sounds like a life sim type thing, and it is partially that so you know what? That's a good name that conveys a vibe about the game. You know what title does not do that? At least not without an in-depth explanation of the specific battle system it made up? Bravely Default. edit: Also "The World Ends With You" is a solid contender not because it's stupid or anything but because it doesn't really make sense with the themes of the game compared to the JP title which is more directly "It's A Wonderful World" or something like that --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ...

I wanted to vote Infinite Undiscovery, and then thought Various Daylife, but Integrity and Faithlessness being attached as a subtitle to a game series that actually has a very good name makes it the most offensive.

edit: Also "The World Ends With You" is a solid contender not because it's stupid or anything but because it doesn't really make sense with the themes of the game compared to the JP title which is more directly "It's A Wonderful World" or something like that Disagree on that because the whole idea of TWEWY is that everybody has their own inner world (ie their own set of convictions, beliefs, life experiences) and you can't ever fully know others -- but by reaching out beyond yourself to try to contact others, your mingled worlds will clash, change, and be enriched. It means the world you can conceive of only ends where you say it does, and if you keep pushing to expand it, it will continue to grow. It's not a coincidence that NEO TWEWY has a song that includes the line "I'm taking back control, the world ends with me" and no JP lyric of any kind. It's a valid title. --- On the topic of, well, the topic itself, it HAS to be Various Daylife. It's probably very fitting but man it sounds silly anyways.

Infinite Undiscovery at least evokes some kind of interest in people, I think. It sounds like a game with boundless potential.

Yes, the problem with Various Daylife is that, even if it is accurate, it's just so mundane and boring that it actively makes you less interested in even learning what the game is. --- Change is weird. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Came into the topic, seeking IU in the topic. Found it, voted. Then I read the other options. I still generally stand by the choice because I've played Infinite Undiscovery. In fact, my copy is downstairs with my old, defunct 360. That game is one of the worst competently-produced games I've come across. Like, functionally, mechanically, it's fine. But in terms of game design choices and the lack of ability to do certain things that the game keeps teasing I should be able to do... Anyway, I've never heard of Various Daylife before. Bravely Default has always been stupid. Theatrhythm is one of the worst portmanteaus I've ever seen. And Octopath is kinda dumb, but not anywhere near as bad as Triangle Strategy. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Bravely Default does sound weird but it's intriguing. I remember when I first heard of it, I went "what the heck does that mean".

For the games I've played...I give Bravely Default and Octopath a pass because of the wordplay involved in those titles, but if I hadn't played they would've sounded dumber. I never really minded Theatrhythm as a title. Triangle Strategy fits the theme but is still kinda not great. My vote was for Lost Sphear, as I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. --- "so is my word...It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 ...

In the initial trailer they showed that some of the playable cast members had names already and those names are directly tied into the Octopath part of the title.
