From "Zane" to "Zin"? Translation changes.

I noticed this in some of the screenshots on the steam page, as well as on the new website. Zane Vathek, the big martial artist and senior bracer, now goes by "Zin Vathek" in the upcoming third game. Is this an error, a correction to an error from the first two games, or something in-game that we're supposed to find/figure out? If it's one of the first two, are there any other changes to the dialogue or characters? There are a good deal of npcs and side plots that have carried over from the past two games. I can imagine that it's hard to keep track of them all.

Still though. Looking forward to picking up the third game. May not be able to play it leading up to and during my finals, but I intend to at least make the purchase to show my support. It'll be a nice reward for getting through this semester.

It is a correction of an error. Most of the information can be found here [xseedgames.tumblr.com], but to summarize:
-It was originally Zin, Zane was a localized name.
-Immigration from Eastern countries into Calvard is big, and could be a focus of a Calvard arc of the Trails series, so having Zin and others with Eastern names could have an impact on the story there.

There is a few other changes that can be found in the link, but most aren't as major as Zane -> Zin.

Thanks for the quick response! It may take a little getting used to, but the change does make sense.

Um, shouldn't you be Ziny Zimbie, now?

I kid. Though I hate character names changing, I'm equally annoyed by the new change to the original name, and the original change to the new original name. What? You know what I mean.

Though I do think that there aren't enough things that rhyme with Zin. Zane Pain Train Brain Main Lane Reign, etc. Puns will be more difficult for me as I play. Oh well.

Unless you know another language like Mandarin... Zin and Yin also ryhme with Djinn, tin and kin.

Calvard seems to be a mix of the United States and French Republics so perhaps he's just descended from hippies.

Zin the Hardskin. Zin the Mover of Trash Bin. Zin the Calvard Gaijin. Zin the Rean Bean Machin- wait, that's already taken.
