Hey everyone, I've moved on to translating the 2005 Ultimania Omega character reports. Because these passages are so long, I'll be linking a Google doc and updating it whenever I finish a new character report. With all the business of the holiday season, I'm hoping I can keep these coming out at...

By the way, something was grating at the back of my mind and I looked at Barret's character entry in the UO and sure enough: [Image caption:] The pendant on his chest is an item entrusted to him by his close friend Dyne. So, it is what it is. I personally don't think the dog tags were supposed...

Maybe he split the other tag with Marlene :3

That confirms Blow Wallace. Thanks! Here's the concept art for Eleanor's pendant, courtsey of Luneyes. Imo it looks extremely similar to the AC pendant. Does anyone have the PlayArts model so they can get a really close look? I actually edited that passage a little after I posted it. It is...

Personal takeaways: Lots going on here. First of all, I'm assuming ブロウ was supposed to be "Blow," hence the trouble they got into. "Brow" is another common translation but that doesn't fit the context. The Dismantled writers are of the opinion Barret's dog tags are the "pendant" Dyne handed...
