      This isn't a first! Judgement was originally called "Judge Eye" and was changed to "Judgement" in the localisation. For the sequel, Lost Judgement, they went with that even in the original version, scrapping "Judge Eyes" entirely
      Also on Judgement, the icons for the styles in the original were just kanji with the name of the style, but in the english version not only were they renamed but also got brand new art for the icons. For Lost Judgement, the icons featured the art instead of the names, as well as new art for the new styles
      RGG isn't afraid to learn from their own localisation!!

    Hey! I'm a video game writer myself. Tiny interesting tidbit. As this change is text-only as in no voice recording required and also probably only happens to be a change in English, 6 months out is a fairly comfortable buffer (depending on how the rest of the development went of course)
    I heard somewhere that Baldurs Gate 3 changed some voice lines a day before their early access release so they had to record it on the same day, localise it to several languages and then patch it in within 24 hours.
    I think they had to patch in some translations a little later but oh my god my hands are getting sweaty just thinking about it.

    Not gonna lie, even with the whole concept of "localization" of eastern games going down the shitter in the eyes of hobbyists lately (for good reason), I still can't help but crack a smile at such a subtle but brilliant in-joke for SEGA fans. It's not getting in the way of story, scenario or character portrayal out of some sense of self superiority. It's just a bunch of gaming nerds, appealing to fellow gamers in a wink wink nudge nudge fashion that's very blink and you'll miss it.

    Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines, characterized by a special shell developed mainly from their ribs. Modern turtles are divided into two major groups, the Pleurodira (side necked turtles) and Cryptodira (hidden necked turtles), which differ in the way the head retracts. There are 360 living and recently extinct species of turtles, including land-dwelling tortoises and freshwater terrapins. They are found on most continents, some islands and, in the case of sea turtles, much of the ocean. Like other amniotes (reptiles, birds, and mammals) they breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or around water. Turtle shells are made mostly of bone; the upper part is the domed carapace, while the underside is the flatter plastron or belly-plate. Its outer surface is covered in scales made of keratin, the material of hair, horns, and claws. The carapace bones develop from ribs that grow sideways and develop into broad flat plates that join up to cover the body. Turtles are ectotherms or "cold-blooded", meaning that their internal temperature varies with their direct environment. They are generally opportunistic omnivores and mainly feed on plants and animals with limited movements. Many turtles migrate short distances seasonally. Sea turtles are the only reptiles that migrate long distances to lay their eggs on a favored beach.
    Turtles have appeared in myths and folktales around the world. Some terrestrial and freshwater species are widely kept as pets. Turtles have been hunted for their meat, for use in traditional medicine, and for their shells. Sea turtles are often killed accidentally as bycatch in fishing nets. Turtle habitats around the world are being destroyed. As a result of these pressures, many species are extinct or threatened with extinction.
