[Zenless Zone Zero] Costume implications

Posted under Tags

English often relocalises but the name translates the same to other languages. For Zenless Zone Zero, we prioritise whichever name is on the English media, and if desired we could support the major other language as a utility alias. It's fine to wait though because this is a lot less clear than, say, what happened previously for Vivian Banshee where her name was displayed but people were saying it wasn't anyway.

Continuing this topic, ain't Belle still Rin both in JP and CN? Idk about the KR dub but I would assume the same thing there, same with her brother Wise being Akira in all 3 other dubs, personally I would say we should use the original dub names for the characters (ie Belle to Rin, Wise to Akira)

The KR option does use Belle, and so does Wise, so your point is moot there. Besides, this is an English-speaking website, so a vast majority of users will be using English, at the very least as their display language, if not their audio language. The only thing this would achieve is confusion on the part of these users, and users of any other language that happens to match with the English option, which is most of them.

And also, technically the "original dub" is Chinese, seeing as Mihoyo is a Chinese company.

The point is to figure out which names the English localisation are picking for the Angels of Delusion faction for the promotional material, not which language's names we're using. This is already a settled matter, with all Zenless Zone Zero characters specifically using the names presented in English marketing materials and the English language option in-game.

The game is currently having an event with the Angels and the names used are as user Falkern mentioned:

Chinatsu Remiel = Sunna
Yutane Johiel = Aria
Rokudo Sariel = Nangong Yu

I can screenshot the use of those names ingame but I think isn't necessary, and any player can confirm it. I guess is ok to wait until their official release, but all the ZZZ ENGLISH media is using those names instead of the ones we knew them first for.
