The only note to make is PT is a Japanese server term for party and would look a bit better if changed to reflect that.

And yes, XIV's translation is very loose (in a good way). The scenario writing can't even be properly called translation since the English and Japanese scripts are worked simultaneously.

I'm thinking this is actually Fakkuma's work.

It's neat to learn that him and bkub are in the same FC.

It's Critical Adloquium+Deployment Tactics. Dunno how much is abbreviated in the comics to edit it myself though.

Interesting. The Japanese here uses the term 鼓舞 ("inspiration/encouragement", so it's apparently the equivalent of "Galvanize", per what I found in English-language wikis) to refer to both the barrier effect and the heal+barrier. At least one source I've found indicates that the proper Japanese equivalent of Adloquium is 鼓舞激励の策 (Plan of Encouragement), but Bkub-san might just be abbreviating out of familiarity. (Also, I'm not sure if "Adlo-Criti-Ploy" would have the same ring to it.)

In a sidenote, should we keep FFXIV Sephirot tagged as FFVI Fiend or not?
