The purpose of this article is to collect and list the spelling errors and/or inconsistencies in the English version of Phantasy Star Universe.
Translation errors
| Location | Name | Correct translation | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enemy | Tengohg | Tengoug | All other members of the monster family (Zoalgoug, Onmagoug...) use "goug". |
| Enemy | Alterazgohg | Alterazgoug | All other members of the monster family (Zoalgoug, Onmagoug...) use "goug". |
| Enemy | Go Bajilla | Go Badira | Meant to match the enemy "Badira", as evidenced by the JP version. |
| Enemy | De Rol Le | De Rolei | Ironically matching the English PSO name. The JP PSU name had a deliberately minor alteration from the JP PSO name (also see: Dragon & De Ragan). |
| Weapon | Ank Bico | Ank Pico | A reference to the "Pico Hammer" weapon used by the "Sonic" series character Amy Rose. |
| Weapon | Assasin | Assassin | Misspelling - is meant to be "Assassin", as shown on the board and mirrored with the Kubara version, Assassic. |
| Weapon | Halp Serafi | Harp Serafi | Probably meant to be Harp Serafi, however the Japanese uses harupu as opposed to the more logical haapu. |
| Weapon | Rod | Rodoh/Rodou | Is actually meant to be Rodoh or Rodou. The GRM equivalent in Ambition of the Illuminus is called Rod. |
| Weapon | Stag Cutralli | Stag Cutlery | Typographical error of a weapon from PSO. |
| Weapon | Vullseye | Bullseye | A mistake in the original Japanese. |
| Unit | Hard / Night | Hard / Knight | Part of the "Knight" unit series, mistranslated to Night. |
| Set bonus | Rayharod & Reiha-senba | Rayharaod & Rayha-senba/Reiharod & Reiha-senba | Translated separately and differently. Originally the aligned names provide a clue to the set bonus. |
| Set bonus | Nafli-zashi & Nafri-senba | Nafli-zashi & Nafli-senba/Nafri-zasha & Nafri-senba | Translated separately and differently. Originally the aligned names provide a clue to the set bonus. |
| Decoration | BT Lovers | VT Lovers | The "BT" is supposed to stand for "Valentine", and thus should probably have been VT. Also, conjecturally, rendering it "VD" (for "Valentine's Day") would probably have been problematic—"VD" also stands for "venereal disease," an older term for sexually transmitted diseases. |
| Decoration | Jao | Chao/Jaggo | The name of the enemy it relates to is "Jaggo", which itself is a (probably intentional) variation of the Chao they have similarities to. |
| Decoration | Relaxing Jao | Relaxing Chao/Relaxing Jaggo | The name of the enemy it relates to is "Jaggo", which itself is a (probably intentional) variation of the Chao they have similarities to. |
| Item | Agtaride | Shiftaride | Emulates the TECHNIC "Shifta", whose JP name is "Agtal", which matches in the same way Retier, Zodial and Megistar match their item names. Alternately Shifta could be corrected to Agtal. |
| Item | Defbaride | Debandide/Debanide/Debaride | Emulates the TECHNIC "Deband", whose JP name is "Defbal", which matches in the same way Retier, Zodial and Megistar match their item names. Alternately Deband could be corrected to Defbal. |
Translations inconsistent with earlier games (but not incorrect)
| Location | Name | Alternative translation | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enemy | Dark Falz | Dark Force | Dark Force is just an alternative translation of Dark Falz which appears in Phantasy Star II-IV, but the Japanese kana suggests that Falz is the correct name. |
| Enemy | Jigo Booma | Gigobooma | A throwback to "Gigobooma" of Phantasy Star Online, as evidenced by the JP version matching its JP PSO name. |
| Weapon | Shato | Sato | A throwback to Phantasy Star Online, however in that game this equipment was called "Sato". The PSO/PSU names matched on the JP version. |
| Weapon | Sonichi | Soniti | A throwback to Phantasy Star Online, however in that game this was called "Soniti", it references Sonic Team. The PSO/PSU names match on the JP version. |
| Weapon | Yasminakov 0002 | Yasminkov 0002 | Inconsistent, refers to the Yasminkov series of weapons from PSO. The PSO/PSU names matched on the JP version. |
