Anytimes!

It's the German version of FF IX To think about, the reason of the little change was simple but still-well-though in my view

Always interesting to hear about these small odd changes between different language versions

Indeed
Also to me, I found it odd why they named her Dagger in the English version. Till I compared some specific texts in the English version with the German texts and translated them.
And I come to the conclusion that it isn't that odd than it seems to be. Both versions make sense still. Quite interesting I find

Amarant is another odd example, he is called Salamander in the original japanese version, Tarask in the French and Mahagon in the German version
Was there something wrong with Salamander?

Hmm good question. I often lurk in the Wikias and found out these following points:

- In the japanese mythology the salamander was a retpile who can breathe and resist fire. I can remember that Amarant was sometimes called the "Flaming Amarant" (or flaming Salamander)
- Tarask or Tarasque was in the French mythology also a dragon-like serpent. But due to its appearance I didn't find the sense why they'd given him this name
- And in the German version his name referred to Mahagoni (translated: mahogany), having sometimes a firey reddish-brown wood referring back to his appearance (and especially his firey-red mane)
