Isn't it "alea iacta est"?

[[PSG] Howie]

All I can find for "alea jacta est" is the title of a music album from some strange metal band.
I don't know much about latin, just remember that phrase. What's right, what's wrong?

[Kazik]

French company maybe?

Company which gets the title of its game wrong. GG

yes, its alea iacta est and it will always be. "j" was even known back in the time..

[Franciscus]

Yes, I would say the main reason was the way this phrase is known in the french (and others) language (ex: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alea_jacta_est)

Also, both ways may be correct, as there was no J in latin; it depends on how "iacta" was supposed to be read. See for example: http://www.infoplease.com/askeds/iacta-vs-jacta.html

(also, the acronym we use for the game, AJE, is cooler than AIE :) )

The link Franciscus posted explains it. Both are correct. No need to knock anyone, Lycrus. AGEOD knows what they are talking about.

It looks pretty jarring to me.

J wasn't a letter in the Roman alphabet, nor was the sound it made really part of Roman phonetics. "Julius" Caesar's name was actually spelled "I V L I V S" (with an 'i' instead of j, and v's replacing u's, and it being pronounced ~YOO-LEE-US).

In modern European spelling and pronunciations,the 'i' is usually replaced with a 'j' when the 'i' would have been similarly pronounced in Roman Latin (as a 'Y').

If its about ancient rome then the medieval latin "j" is irrelevant. I majored in classical philology. If one of my teachers would see me write it this way they would hit me.
