I don't think there are sound tests in the games, I meant official terms for labyrinth and character names and so on.
Like "Ever-Scarlet Forest" goes by "Auburn Thicket" in EO2 which is way better I think.


The series' labyrinth names may use certain kanji to get 'colored' names, which is kinda hard to get across.
For labyrinth I 碧照ノ樹海, they use 碧 which is pronounced "midori". It means a type of sea-like blue-ish green, but I couldn't think of a decent synonym. I need a better replacement I guess (emerald was already taken :/).
Then 照 = "shine" (not shrine) and 樹海 = woodlands, forest, etc.
