my apologies if I missed the funeral (older posts on the topic), but I was just going through some of my burned items for a not so quick refresher and noticed that one of the じょう readings mnemonic had changed from Jourm to Joe. Being curious I checked the others and noticed that it is everywhere almost as if Jourm never existed at all. I just felt I had to pay my respects to that big friendly farmhand. R.I.P Jourm. You will not be forgotten and I for one shall never forgive this imposter Joe for masquerading as you.

On a side note. Are there any other changes like this that I’ve not picked up on yet? Other characters who have been replaced etc?

Jourm is the only one that readily springs to mind, aside from the bunch who were retired in the wave of updates that originally spawned Jourm in the first place.

It happened back in February 2024, and was the only mnemonic character explicitly mentioned as being retired at the time, though of course there’s been a few mnemonic tweaks here and there since then.
