'Beacause' mod item & spell names

[Unknown Zombie]

Is there a mod that.. mods.. the Beacause re-translation which gets rid of all the renamed items and spells?

I'm super happy that the mod makes dialog less of a train wreck, but why did they have to mess with item names?

I've tolerated it until disc 2 because it didn't really impact me that much aside from having to dig through equipment longer than usual because stuff has different names than what I am looking for -- but now that I'm trying to breed chocobos and I've got to buy certain greens and they have completely different names from what I remember, it's the final straw!

I've played this game through a half-dozen times before now so I remember a lot of what I want to do and which spells I want to use, and what items I want to have, and so-on.. So it's just a real pain to have to scratch my head looking thru a list of items, I don't care if the names are "faithfully translated" or not, they interrupt the game flow whereas the dialog makes it flow better.

There's an option in the installation for The Reunion mod (which contains Beacause) to keep the original NA version's naming conventions, I believe

But I think this also changes other item names that were fixed before the mod was made, I seem to remember being caught out one way or the other.

Yeah, I was using that installation option, but unfortunately it only reverts the names of a small handful of items like Phoenix Downs not all of the items.

Other stuff, like the names of limit breaks, spells, and almost all other tiems, have been renamed into whatever it was that the translator thought was "better."

The limit breaks and spells I can ignore because it's apparent what they are supposed to be. But when it comes to stuff like chocobo greens, where you have to buy specific ones from a list of them that a vendor sells .. but they now have completely different names ... it's just terrible.

And then when you have to quickly find them in your list of items to throw them at a chocobo so it doesn't run away, but you can't remember what the new name of it is supposed to be because it's nothing like the original? Ugh.

You realize that you can rearrange the order of items, right? Put the green you want to throw at the very top and you won't have to remember anything in battle.

Also, you could just set your ATB to 'wait' and nothing will happen in the battle as long as you're looking at the list of items.

Yup, that's what I did after I scrolled through the menu and couldn't remember the name of the ones I actually wanted. I put them at the top.
