That's cool. And thank you luksy.
I've taken another look at the google sheet and I'd like to point out several things that appear to me as inconsistencies.
- "Inside Plate"
"Underneath Plate 4" literally is "District 4, Underneath Plate" and you specify that "The dialogue makes it clear that plates are also numbered" (so "Plate 4" fits). Now our "Inside Plate" literally is "District 4, Inside Plate", so shouldn't we have "Inside Plate 4" here instead ?
- inside something
On one side we have "Inside the Great Crater", "Inside the Planet", and on the other side we have "Inside Airship" , "Inside Church", "Inside Cliff", "Inside Nibl Reactor", "Inside Plate" (discussed above). Don't the 5 latter need a "the" ? Or the 2 former need the removal of the "the" for the sake of consistency ?
- inconsistencies with prefixes and hyphens
Normally the prefix is part of the word itself (gigabyte, asocial, etc). So if we follow that rule, we end up with "Omniall", "Tetramagic", "Tridisaster" and "Aquabreath" as you did with "Monodrive", "Monolaser", "Microlaser", "Quadralaser", "Paralaser", "Paraneedle", "Paratail", "Heligunner", "Hectoeyes", "Megaton Punch", "Megathrust", "Megaflare", "Gigadunk", "Gigaflare", "Teraflare" and "Omnislash". Now if you think that "Omniall", "Tetramagic", "Tridisaster" and "Aquabreath" look too weird and you choose to keep two separate words, I say that hyphens have their place here, since the first words are prefixes. That's what you did with "Mega-Tsunami", "De-Barrier", "Pre-emptive" and "Re-gen".
What I'm trying to point out is the lack of consistency among words with a prefix, or the lack of a rule. Either go one-word for all, or hyphens for all or two-word for all.
I'd suggest hyphens for all or two-word for all, because of these three which wouldn't work as one word : "Proto Machine Gun", "Tetra Elemental" and "Neo Bahamut".
..On second thought, both "Omni All / Omni-All", both "Neo Bahamut / Neo-Bahamut", and both "Tetra Elemental / Tetra-Elemental" could work, independently from what other names end up to be, because these three are more of proper nouns than the others (but I'd still favour hyphens for those three). Same thing for "Mega Death", the name for the chocobo, and "Hectoeyes".
But having "Megaflare", "Mega-Tsunami" and "Tri Disaster" doesn't make sense I believe.
Now something else that is not a prefix but which may call for a hyphen is the word "double". For example "Double Laser" --> "Double-Laser"? I don't know how English work with the word "double". The other ones are "Double Fire", "Double Machine Gun", "Double Rocket Punch", "Double Item", "Double Magic", "Double Summon", and in the same fashion we also have "Dual Horn", "Dual Attack", "Dual Spike" and "Dual Wing Fire".
- other hyphens
I can't see a reason for "Anemo Smog" not to have a hyphen when "Poisso-shower" has one, both names being structurally very similar (word for a sea-living animal shortened + smog/shower). And both first words being shortenings, that calls for a hyphen imo. I would also capitalise "shower" as you did everywhere else: "Anemo-Smog", "Poisso-Shower".
"Magic Barrier" as the spell has no hyphen and "Magic-Barrier" as the property has one, and there shouldn't be.
There's also "Gradual-Petrif." that has one, and here too I really don't see why there should be a hyphen, these are just nouns with their adjectives.
Now these three following suggestions are subjective:
"Touch Me" --> "Touch-Me"? looks more like a name
"Tail Whip" --> "Tail-Whip"? as one entity
"Tail Laser" --> "Tail-Laser"? as one entity
- battle commands
There are inconsistencies there too. The one-word "Deathblow" gets a hyphen --> "D-Blow". The two-word "Enemy Skill" and "Magic Barrier" get one too --> "E-Skill", "M-Barrier". And the two-word "Double Item", "Double Magic" and "Double Summon" get nothing --> "D Item", "D Mag", "D Sum" (which btw look very weird, written like that). I suggest this:
"Deathblow" ------> "D.Blow" (a full stop for an abbreviation)
"Double Item" ----> "D-Item" (a hyphen where there are two words)....
"Double Summon" --> "D-Sum." (not enough space for "Summon"?)
"Double Magic" -> "D-Magic" (there is enough space for "Magic" not to be shortened, no?)
"Enemy Skill" ----> "E-Skill"
"Magic Barrier" --> "M-Barrier"
and also I would turn "Manip" into "Manip.", for consistency among abbreviations.
I think it all looks much nicer like that and makes more sense.
There's also one battle message which lacks a full stop: "Down 10 levels", the other message "Down 5 levels." has it.
