Talk:Healing Circle

It's "Hurtless"
ハートレスサークル romanizes to "haatoresusaakuru". Early on, people decided to call it "Heartless" because that's what the romaji looks like to them (ハート is used for "heart" in several unrelated J-pop music/anime). But both sound the same, and there is no "official" romanized translation for it, so wouldn't it make more sense to use the words that, uh... make more sense? I want to use "Hurtless" so we can establish a standard that should be followed in the future. "Heartless" sounds completely counter-intuitive to this spell's effect. Unfortunately, most guides still use "Heartless", and it's not likely to change because it's cemented in most people's minds now.

The same applies to Snipe Lower (people still want to call it "Snipe Roar", when it is supposed to be a contrast to Snipe Air), Maxwell Lore/Radiant Lore (the same "roar" stupidity, plus it makes Marta's MA sound like it's related to Luke's Radiant Howl somehow), Glaive (come on, Ricardo has an insta-spell gun attack called "Shot Glaive", why should the spell be called "Grave"... but I do admit that this is probably a double-pun that can work either way), and other minor things. This only applies to the Japanese romanizations anyway.
