Are you asking who did? Are how it's spelled?

I'm kinda....displeased with a lot of Atlus' Romanizations. Maybe I just don't know any better, but when I romanized the character's names, I thought they were all quite different.

Like what?
You know, direct romanization isn't exactly easy for normal people to pronounce, and it doesn't always look good (or even be correct). Looking at Atlus' website, I find them fairly easy to read. Remember, games are still geared toward the general public, not your typical anime junkie.

Speaking of funny romanization... Someone saw the official romanizations of most names in HunterxHunter? If this is not the proof of the existence of Satan, then I want to stop eating chocolate and camember together.

Well, I don't know what's "right", but I always called "Laharl" Rahaul and "Etna" Etona. Flonne is OK, because it looks good, but when you pronounce it "correctly" it's more like...what? "Flon?"

Flonne is a legit name, even if it's not something you come across too often.

My love for the prinnies has been superceded by the Defenders of Earth.

I don't know about Atlus' romanisations, but from what I've seen I prefer for the most part the english romanisations that were in the ending credits for JP Disgaea. Or I'm just bad at adapting to the new names.

Ohoh! What were they? Do you remember? I would consider that the "real" thing.

It was amongst the less... disturbing. Curarpiky (クラピカ) and Quoll(クロロ) are really romanizations from outer space. Togashi, STOP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Quoll is the worst romanization among the worst (T_T) I prefer the french romanization of his name : Kuroro.

I think the direct translation of the katakana is the best way to be understood(Kurapika, Kirua, etc). Then, there is the ジン/Jin/Jing problem...

At least keep it to the point of being able to make an association with the originals...

That's still a better name that Quoll or whatever...Makes more sense to romanize it that way...

Since my friends have all starting playing Disgaea now that it is in a language they can read, I have started again, and am now putting more time into it than ever before. I didn't fully understand how master/pupil relationships and item resident manipulation worked before now, but it's like a whole new game has opened up.
Also, does anyone know what to make of this? Looking at the ending requirements chart on gamefaqs, it says that you get the good ending if you don't have any team murders. Does that mean, you never accidentally killed them in combat, or does that mean you never had one character "erase" another?

I believe it was in-combat kills only, and throwing Prinnies don't count.
I went for the best ending after 3 cycles or so, since it was much easier to accomplish.

Yeah, no in-battle kills. Some japanese boards said that you should avoid hurting your own team members too much too. To make sure, just go through the game without hurting any team members.

I hope that doesn't include "geo-tile" comboes or whatever they're called. >_<

Hahaha! In stategy games my entire plan relies around friendly fire. I'll have to try harder not to attack anyone the next time through.

Don't mind about getting the good ending on the first time through, its more fun, and easier if you get it on the second or third time through.
I'm not sure if geo panel kills count though. Just avoid the item world until you complete the game? (applies only to 2nd or 3rd time through)

Nuts, I guess that means I'm already screwed this time through when it comes to the ending. In most games you can avoid whacking your own teammates without too much trouble but between bad placement during geo tile chains and exploding Prinnies [I found out the hard way those things have a wide range on their splash damage] it's amazing my group will even follow me into battle anymore.
