Translator's Notes

Majority of the translations are adapted from the official translations for names to make them consistent with the recently released games, except for:

FMP's Gaulun (because it's Cantonese and a plot point) and the mech Chodar (the baddies' units are named after biblical demons).
GGG's Sol Masters (due to screen size constraints).
PoD's Black Sarana (because it's a real flower and because Brunom1 is stubborn like that).
A few skills and spirit names differ from the recent official localizations, using the terms that had become standard among fans pre-VXT (e.g. Strike, instead of Bullseye). This was done purely due to screen size constraints while keeping abbreviations to a bare minimum, as the official ones are lengthier.

Finally, the game references certain non-mecha IRL things, like places, people, and ads. All of which would make sense to a JP audience, but are way too obscure for anyone else - so they were replaced with equivalent stuff. Mecha references were brought over as-is.
