comments
unlike in CoS ffl, the two different Mirrors and the two different Gazes were not renamed in CoS ffl2 and remain ambiguous. (also unlike CoS ffl, Nike is still Nike instead of being renamed Styx.)
though "demon lord" has been improved, other names remain misspelled or weirdly rendered, such as XCalibr (excalibur) and LiveOrk (live oak).
the school Slime and Baby-D still have the same names as mainstream monsters, and have not been disambiguated as they could have been. (saga2 has always given them distinct names.)
although Hana is described in the text as a flatfoot instead of a detective, her character name is still Detectiv. which is weird when presumably the whole point of "flatfoot" was to get it down to eight letters for the name.
