Where is it called Alacalibur exactly? I have never heard that name used for it before.--Otherarrow 15:58, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's called that in FE8 (where it's unused) and also in the internal data for FE6. It might be better off mentioned as a smaller note though. Aveyn Knight 16:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- Wait, if it is called Alacalibur in FE8 and the internal data for FE6, wouldn't that be a more legitimate "English" name than the fantranslated Aircalibur? Not that Aircalibur is an inaccurate translation or anything.--Otherarrow 19:19, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- I was initially thinking yes. The main problem is that the romaji reads Eirukaribaa, so the second "a" (in Alacalibur) is kind of wrong. If they had called it something like Ale-calibur (as in "ale" for the alcholic substance) then I wouldn't be so worried. So instead, I think Aircalibur and Alacalibur are on even terms.

The icon it is using is the Excalibur icon, not the Aircalibur icon from FE6, anyone want to fix it? (I don't have the FE6 icons on me right now).

So, what we are going to do with this page's name as Aircalibur, are we going to rename this page as Alacalibur or just leaving as Aircalibur? (I apologize if this is kinda like necroposting, but I am not quite atually sure if this done or not?)-- King Marth 64 (talk • other wikis • blogs) 17:19, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Good question. I personally say Aircalibur, because Ala was a scrapped idea, and never made a "real" appearance. --Thenewguy34(Other) 18:21, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
Well, it had a note on the page that saids "Aircalibur still exists in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, but can only be obtained through the use of cheat devices." I am not sure if the Alacalibur name was only in the Japanese version or that name was mentioned outside of Japan in The Sacred Stones and I am not sure typically too sure if Aircalibur was a fan translated name or not, I don't use the cheat devices.-- King Marth 64 (talk • other wikis • blogs) 18:58, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Read the discussion above between Otherarrow and Aveyn Knight from June 2009. --Thenewguy34(Other) 20:56, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
- I'd suggest leaving it as Aircalibur, due to the familiarity. Besides, even though it's Alacalibur in the English version of TSS, the name is unused and not all unused names are thought out properly, like Mamucoot (or whatever) in Flametongue's unused alternate item description.
