Final Fantasy character aliases - ENG -> JPN or JPN -> ENG?

BUR #15830 has been rejected.

create alias leon_(ff2) -> leonhart_(ff2)
create alias minwu -> ming-wu
create alias ricard_highwind -> richard_highwind
create alias kain_highwind -> cain_highwind
create alias edward_chris_von_muir -> gilbart_chris_von_muir
create alias tellah -> tella
create alias strago_magus -> stragus_magus
create alias emperor_gestahl -> emperor_gastra
create alias oglop -> burimushi
create alias brother_(ff10) -> aniki_(ff10)
create alias lunafreya_nox_fleuret -> lunafrena_nox_fleuret

I think these are all the big ones we're missing. Alternatively, we can go full English, in which case I'll reverse these and the existing ENG -> JPN aliases. Let me know what you prefer.

e: JPN -> ENG version as an alternative is down there ⬇, vote for your fave

Since Danbooru's moving away from a hardline JP stance for video games, we might as well convert Final Fantasy to EN too. You could also omit the lines where the EN names are already in use.

Here's the JPN -> ENG version, including reverse aliases for the ones we already have. I'll see which version people prefer.

e: Realized I had a couple the wrong way around! Should be fixed now, but let me know if you catch any.

Tidus original name is ティーダ, for names and terms in katakana (which indicates their non-Japanese nature) we normally use intended romanization, not literal one. This is a common practice on most dedicated websites about Japanese media, like anidb, MAL, MyFigureCollection, etc.

Japanese themselves write it as Tidus, as you can see on Japanese wiki here or here. So the tag should remain tidus in both JP and ENG.

Fair enough. I've removed it.

Thanks! I knew I probably wasn't getting all of them.
