In the localized versions of both Etrian Odyssey and EOII, I'd like to know if anyone has an idea as to why they changed the names for some of the classes:
* Bard - Troubadour
* Paladin - Protector
* Swordsman - Landsnknecht
* Bushido - Ronin
Bard: What was wrong with calling it the Bard class? meh, not like it really matters. They play instruments, and that's all the class name needs to imply.
Paladin: I guess I can kinda see why they'd want to change it to protector, seeing as how defensive skills make up the majority of this class' skill tree, lol.
Swordsman: My only guess is that they didn't want to sound generic when it came to the basic warrior class >_> Although, the name Landsnknecht implies a historical background, in this case, German. Which is surprisingly similar to that of EOII's Der Freischütz, a gunner met in the second stratum who is explained to be an allusion to a character in a German folk tale. Who would've thunk it? XD
Bushido: Aren't Bushido and Ronin essentially the same thing?? so what's with the name change?
Curse Maker: It's easy to understand where Hexer came from XD
Atlus' the naming of stuff:

They needed to mention the fact that the new adventure took place in Lagaard, otherwise something's wrong when you buy Etrian Odyssey 2 and it takes place in a completely different place. And 'The Royal Grail of High Lagaard' just doesn't roll off the tongue.
Protectors are... well, it's descriptive. It fits. *shrugs*
