Because the localizers need to change something to justify the existence of their job.

They're translating the thing, so they have already a good job at localizing it. I mean, I can understand changing Jin/Gin and Origin into Spyrix and Spyrite, respectively, since using 'Origin' would lead to confusion because Origin actually makes people (at least, most Tales players) think of the lord of spirits, Origin.

PS: And why do they act like Jude is this must-horribly-be-pitied, utterly broken man just because he can't see Milla in Xillia 2? This feels like Ran in Detective Conan ALWAYS being displayed as this broken bird who is all torn up inside because Shinichi isn't around. Booohooohooooo, I cannot see my sort-of-not-really-never-actually-established-potential-love-interest! Booohooo!

"Ark Noah" and "Exodus" are both references to the Old Testament. Both of those stories could apply to the group in Xillia,
Spoiler:
but I'm guessing the localization team thought the latter was more fitting. Either way, it's still giving away their motives the moment you hear their name.

Well, yeah, I know what they are referring to. But somehow, Ark Noah... sounds better.
Spoiler: Xillia Exodus/Ark Noah
Exodus actually sounds weird. It's like how, before I played Symphonia, I thought 'Kvar' was a monster and 'Cruxis' referred to a person. While, technically, the first part is correct (Kvar is a complete monster of a person), it was still not what I thought.

You mean like Costumes, Nintendo? Why should I have to download a way-too-high-leveled Map and fight my way through things I am underleveled for JUST for the sake of getting a damn costume. Huh, Nintendo? Ever thought of that? I would much rather just have gotten Costume DLC, so I can use the costumes whenever I want, rather than get frustrated at redoing a map several times, just so I can get the blue dress palette swap for Zelda.
Also Hyrule Warriors is REALLY grindy and repetitive, so I can't say adding 200+ hours of THE SAME gameplay was really worth it.

Yeah but all "Warriors" games are Grundy and repetitive...they appeal to people who like that grind.

IIRC the map rewards are just pallete swaps where the costumes that actually change the look of the characters are DLC

I got Yuri's route and ending in Nameless. After having to reload a few times because, fuck you, if you don't do the EXACT right answer, you get a Game Over/Bad Ending. Now, there is DEFINITELY something up with Tei. And that weird-ass Narrator that pops up (who, I believe is the titular Nameless... cause the credits listed it next to (???) which is the dialogue title used for the narrator) and is just weird. I'm still staying away from spoilers as much as I can.

Daidouji is a straight up homage to Jotaro, but she doesn't have a stand and fashionable belts. At least she wins points with her boob wrappings.

Would love to play one of the old JoJo fighting games. Then again the new ones look pretty impressive too.
The original Capcom arcade fighting game is pretty fun, and the PlayStation version-exclusive Super Story Mode is what got me originally interested in the franchise (many, many years ago). The game was released here in the West too (I still have the disc somewhere). Other versions (DreamCast, PSN/XBXLA) are closer to the original arcade game, it seems, but the SSM is only available in the PS version.

Why!? Why would THIS be positive for Jude!? For one, he would NEVER like that type of teasing, he hates it! It's the entire reason WHY he's so awkward around Muzét, especially when she teases him about direct-tethering! You are making me say something (technically in-character) as Ludger to Jude, who would HATE that as an answer! What the HELL are you doing, Namco?! (Upside: That's not what the Japanese version says, it says something entirely else. Something that doesn't even have that kind of teasing line in it remotely)
Fuck it, I'm gonna go back and write my Jude-Leia fanfic...

The first was basically the medical school outfit itself, but the top looked a bit more like a patient's gown top - you know, a flap-over and tied on the side. And it included the typical post-battle victory chatter. Jude was surprised she had an outfit like his, but Milla mentions that they (villagers of Nia Kheria, I suppose) made the outfit for her and he said he knew, he heard them talk... and then mentions he at least knows the top is 'real'. (Probably a reference to this skit)
The second version was basically Jude's outfit itself - with making Milla's breasts much smaller, turning her into a pettanko. Also, it included an Assassin's Creed-style hoodie on it...
I also could switch to a genderswap version of the game... first of, 'Judey' looks abso-freaking adorable! She was in a maid outfit similar to Leia's. She was complimenting 'Miles' and wanted to, shyly, offer to shake his hand... and then Gaius came running (he and Rowen, apparently, didn't change gender; don't ask me) and demanded to know what 'Judey' wanted and mentioned Evangelion. 'Judey' apologized a lot... so, apparently, to me a female Jude would be a bit similar to Tomoko from Watamote, too... Hey, I ain't complaining. But Milla should get an outfit that lowers her breast size. (Like LR with the suits for Lightning)
Back to bed. Maybe I'll dream up more costumes that I'll eventually draw.

Mostly because Consortium is a "mystery FPS," but in the 'or' sense, not the 'and' sense--if you're a good enough detective you can avoid all the shoot-outs, and you can completely ignore the mystery and just shoot out everyone in your way.
Naturally, I opted for solving the mystery (identified the traitor in my first conversation with them!) rather than doing any FPS work. And while it seems like there's oodles of content in the myriad of choices and branches within the game, I think I got basically the one route with absolutely no FPS in it. So if I did more playthroughs, I'd need to either explore the permutations within the "mystery-only" branch, which would be boring and repetitive, or make decisions that would lead me to FPS sections, which just... wouldn't work out.
Ah well, at least there's Youtube LPs.
I just hope it's possible to beat the sequel without any FPS sections, just like this game.

My one wish left after Smash 4 basically put almost everything i have ever wanted in a fighting game is that Disney would team up with Capcom to make a Vs game that's basically an MVC4 but with Disney and Star wars stuff in the mix.
I mean something like Hercules fighting Zero while characters like Darth Vader, Ryu, Goliath and Wolverine sit as support characters, it sounds so freaking amazing.
