Not really. But they do awesome games and tiny tiny tiny cellphones.

When FFVI was released for the SNES, the translation team, headed by a guy named Ted Woosley (or something), took some very "creative" liberties with the translation. For example, the name "Tina" sounds exotic to a Japanese person, but it's a common name in NA and Europe, so they changed it to "Terra" for the release here. The Cefca/Kefka thing is due to the difficulty of translating Japanese into English - there's several phonetic sounds in English that aren't used in Japanese, so letters like L/R and B/V are often mistaken.

As a side note, the Fire/Fira/Firaga scheme for spells has always been the norm for Japan, but due to limited text space in the ROM, they only had 6 letters to work with, so they had to use the Fire/Fire 2/Fire 3 scheme up until FFVIII, and they also renamed Blizzard to Ice, Thunder to Bolt, etc.

They don't swear that much in the original, or rather, they do. They say "kuso" a lot, it may be anything from "Doodoo" to "f*cking s*it hell"

I can imagine Edgar saying "f*cking sh*t hell" a whole lot.

Sadly he probably isn't called Edgar any more.

[Grandy]

No, Edgar is still Edgar. He and Shadow are the rule's exception.
