Posted

in japan it's called the 13th order which sound's waaay more badass in my opinion but what do you guys think? do you like the name organization 13 or would you have prefered 13th order?

It just sounds more Americanized, I guess, which is the point of localization.

13th Order does sound cooler, but that makes me wonder what happened to the first 12 Orders

 

Many Americans would be confused and lost, Organization 13 is much more simple for us to understand xP

hmmm i guess......*DERP* :P

Just a process of localization, 13th Order does sound cool but I personally prefer Organization 13 (that's what we got in all English releases), they could have also just mistranslated and it stuck.

hmm,I prefer Organization XIII.13th Order is kinda weird to pronounce

It's always called Organization XIII officially, even in the Japanese versions... KH2 Ultimania, for example. 機関 is typically translated as "organisation" or something along that line (ie. a formalised group of people working together for a common goal). Gets the point across better. I guess "order" is from Deep Dive or something? Because it doesn't roll off the tongue well.

Fool. Organization 13 sounds way better.

Actually, Japanese terms tend to be weird and unsmooth if we translate them literally. This case is an example, since Organization XIII is way cooler than XIII Order

Both sound stupid...

Organization XIII - To many letters

13th Order - What happened to the 1st order and the 2nd order and the 3rd order and the REST!!??

Right 13th order could have been confusing! Plus Japanese doesn't always translate to English in the right order. So to them it probably is also Organization 13.

I don't think either one sounds better than the other

Organization XIII sounds better to me, maybe because I'm used to call it this way.

i prefer organization XIII tbh ^^
