So if they're sticking with Moon Rune and Pale Gate Rune, both from Suikoden III, I'm guessing the official spelling of Sindar/Cyndar will be Cyndar. Well, we'll just have to wait and see I guess!

One of the dictionaries interpreted the word "aoi" as blue, pale, inexperienced, etc", so I find the choice of Pale Gate to be rather justified. Even if blue is the more sensible literal translation.
Also, thank you for confirming the official name for the Moon Rune. |

Heh - neither of my dictionaries lists "pale" under the meaning of "aoi", but I did look it up under a third source and, indeed, you're correct. So, I take back what I said about Pale Gate being incorrect. Taken in that light, it 'pales' (doesn't match the power) in comparison to the actual Gate Rune, so the name is very fitting - it's a weaker form of the Gate Rune. Hadn't though about it in that light until I saw pale and inexperienced side by side.
