^To be clear, when I say "Engrish", what I meant was when Japanese names are written in English by Japanese people. Like if in a manual or strategy guide English is used instead of kana (there are almost always mistakes because Japanese companies never hire people who read/write English to check this... or think it's funny not to??)
Guira would not be so bad, but his name is actually Guyra in the English games. Not the end of the world but does not sound the same depending on how you pronounce it (is their an official English pronunciation guys??)
Even translation projects can seem Engrish-like when native English speaking people choose to romanize katakana (which is never a good idea outside of technical discussion or hardcore literal subbing)
