I just found out that they're doing some pointless name changing with the European version of this game. The main character Elza, is now being called Zael and Ruli island and Ruli city will now be called Lazulis island and Lazulis city. They may have made some name changes in XBC but those were only for characters with weirder names like changing Fiorung to Fiora and Carna to Sharla. I don't see whats wrong with the name Elza or the names Ruli island and Ruli city.

Ruri = the Japanese word for Lapis Lazuli. As in the colour/precious stone. They just translated it so, you know, it'd actually make sense to people who can't read japanese.
Edit: And, Elza is a female name in english. That'll be why they're changing it.

they should've kept the original names for those characters. to me elza is elza, not zael. just because they are localising this game for western audiences in english, why change the names at all? it's just not necessary.

Thanks, I didn't know about either of those. I can understand the former but if they can have a male character called Jade in Tales of the abyss and a male character called karol in Tales of Vesperia with the names remaining the same in the English versions then I think they should have kept Elza's name the same when its a pretty obscure name.

To be honest, I really couldn't care. As long as the game's good, I don't care too much what the characters are named.

I can understand why they're changing the town names, but to be honest, I don't think it's a good reason to be changing Elza/Eruzas name, but it was the only one I could come up with. I really didn't know it was a female name in english without looking it up, and realistically, I don't think it'd have been a problem leaving it as Elza. It's really not uncommon for rpgs to change to more...English friendly names for no apparent reason,
Calm down, the are other things in the world to worry about.

It's like, I just love a cowboy
You know
I'm just like, I just, I know, it's bad
But I'm just like
Can I just like, hang off the back of your horse
And can you go a little faster?!
Word on the street is that the AI in this game is really bad, which makes the game far less appealing to me. That's not the only problem I've heard either, just the only that stuck out to me.
This article from Gonintendo mentions a special edition that contains an artbook and sountrack CD, the CD only has 7 songs from the game though. Also, The last story seems to be doing pretty good on Amazon's list of upcoming games as it got into the top 10 but is now in the top 20.
I'll have to look into the Last Story a bit more - I read a bit about it last year when it got released in Japan, but have lost track of it since. However, since I'm a real sucker for collector's editions, I'll probably end up grabbing it on release.
