| Final Fantasy XII Presumably the last "main" game to be released on the PS2, FF12 broke the tradition of Battle Screens. It was also the sixth game ever to receive a perfect 40/40 score from the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu. |

Yes, there is something about "k" that kinda puts me off. Mind you, I don't really mind it though. I mean, it's just a unique way of spelling the words to give it more character, but I really prefer the appearances of "magic" and "technique".
It just seems more right to me.

It doesn't really bother me, altho I was wondering what the whole thing with manufacted was all about, but then I just asumed it was like machines being machina in X *shrugs*
And after VII, anything is an improvment haha

Why on earth would Magic, being spelt as Magick in FFXII annoy anyone? Just because of the inclusion of a K letter makes a lot of difference...?
Not really. It's still the same thing at the end of the day.

Manufacted - Manufactured agreed spelling mistake.
Magick - Magic & Technick -Technique - I believe this is FF version of the words, done delibrately.

One musn't forget that in FF10, when performing the attack Magic Breaker, Auron says "You can't hide behind your Magicks"

"Magick" is an actual word. Y'know, it's in some dictionaries an' shit.

I think that all three of them are intentionally spelt wrong, so that they are incorporated with how the people in the game would actually speak. They actually say "manufacted nechicite" not manufactured.
Or, manufacted is a mistake the translators made, and the other 2 have been changed for the purpose of XII.

I can't imagine that the production line would be so mechanical in their thought processes that no one would think to question such an obvious spelling mistake as "manufacted," particularly when every character said that word. It's not a mistake, it's clearly intentional. As to why, I'm unsure, though.

I think Manufacted has been done to bring it in line with Deafacted (sp?). Same as Magick and Technick.
