It sounds like its a pun on the terrier family of dogs, so I'd think the Atlus one would seem the best to me anyways.

"Theria" is consistent with how it was localized in the French PlayStation version from back in the day. Pretty sure they used the same name on the Japanese website, so I think that's official.
Ah, that's a mystery solved. It would seem we finally got her name all nice and proper over here in NA! Thanks for the info!Originally Posted by Vlcice
So Theria's actually the official romanization? Interesting.
In the event of a firestorm, the salad bar will remain open.
Here's another cameo name oddity.

Stair?2 localizers agreed, 1 did not. Whats the word on this take on her name?
Yeah, that is a curious one. "Stair" is a really weird romanization.
The French PlayStation version also has "Stair". I have no idea if there is an official romanization or not (weren't there romanized names found in the Japanese version of Solatorobo?), but at this point my guess would be that since NoE did the translation, they were keeping consistency with the only version of Tail Concerto that came out in that region.
Edit: I checked the Japanese website, and it didn't have any English text for most characters. Looks like I was remembering wrong. So the French version of TC must have been their source. (But while it had its weird bits, it was definitely more accurate than the Atlus ones, which was not one of their better translation jobs. That was back before Atlus was consistently great.)
