The word genie brings a totally different mental picture for people in United States and related communities. Pixie might be a better name for this kind of mythological creature.

    I kept calling them fairies when they first became available. I had to train myself to get used to the term genie b:chuckle but I like your suggestion. Pixie works too!

    Well if we keep this thread alive maybe we can call the atention of the GM and get the name changed at least in the international version!

    Does it really matter what they're called? Yeah, fairy or pixie probably be more appropriate (personally, I prefer fairy) but whatever they're called won't change gameplay at all.
    Meh, saw a couple other people doing this so...

    Well that is the reason for a suggestion box. Maybe the gameplay will not change but if the majority think a different name is better I do not see a reason to not pay attention to this kind of small petitions.

    I don't agree with Pixie.
    Genie, I definitely think looks like this.. I think most people would think so.
    Uuh, Pixie?
    Fairy sounds better in my opinion.

    But then again, I call the animals in this game for Demons, it's just something I've gotten used to since playing Shin Megami Tensei quite a bit...
    Meeh, anyhow. I prefer Genie over Pixie, but Fairy over Genie.

    I've just ignored the fact that they're called Genies and have been referring to them as Fairies from day one. It would however be more convenient to rename them Fairies. If only for me.
