Hi! I was wondering about a change on the .hack//Quarantine games... Both the NA and JP releases were originally listed as it is officially formatted, but they both recently got changed while no other game in the series was changed and now they do not match. It seems like a really odd change since even official sources use ".hack//" as the series name. I rarely see "Dot Hack" or the lack of the // when using a subtitle on the full titles outside of casual conversation. I really think both pages should be changed back to match with the rest of the series, but my friend tried to change one and was rejected. I know the logo on the front cover of the NA version added the word "dot" on top of the actual dot, but I believe they did that so people knew for sure how to pronounce it.
The pages in question:
NA: https://vgcollect.com/item/1325
JP: https://vgcollect.com/item/47490
So the NA release should be titled ".hack//QUARANTINE" or ".hack//QUARANTINE Part 4". The Final Chapter part really isn't part of the title.
For the JP release, it should be ".hack//Zettai Houi Vol. 4" to match with the other 3 games.
Here's a link to the old US website, which despite being called "dothack.com" still formats the titles this way:

Sadly, it only goes back so far so it shows the GU games instead of the original series, but it still shows this formatting is used for the series officially in the US.
And the Japanese site, also showing them listed this way:
http://www.cc2.co.jp/hack/
Sorry for the long post, I just didn't want to go through the trouble of changing the whole series to match with these entries, or at least the other 3 games in the original series, when no one really uses this formatting at all. For reference, the spines on the US releases use just the ".hack//QUARANTINE" format without the use of part 4 and such.
Thank you!
