Why is the original title used instead of the Japanese title?

Also, "災禍の中心" will not appear in the TOWNS version of Wizardry V.

fuzzball - just as in the examples I gave above - most of these have english titles on the disc itself.  For example:

It's a transcription that tells you how to properly read the main title, just like there is often a kana transcription near the kanji letters. And it says "5" just to show you it should be read as "five", not as "v".

Sherlock's Japanese naming looks more of a subtitle, the 'main' title is written in English.

And it's not an FMT-only story. Some PCE titles (and not only PCE) are the same:

I see. I respect the title screen and the size of the logo.
