Gameplay Element Localization Glossary for the Shiren the Wanderer series.

Cross-Mixing

Cross-Mixing (Japanese: 異種合成) is a mechanic introduced in Template:GameTitle. While it appeared in the English localizations ofTemplate:GameTitle, and Shiren 5 on the Vita/Switch/Steam/Smartphones, it's not known to have an official name in those releases.

Monster Family

Monster Family (Japanese: 種), previously known as Monster-type (Japanese: モンスター系) is to our knowledge, an original term coined by fans after the release of Template:GameTitle in 2008. Shiren 1 DS referred to monster families as types, such as "Polygon Spin-type", which causes issues with the Dragon-type and the Dragon Family. As types weren't something we were widely aware of until 2019, we've opted to ignore the officers and continue with what we'd been calling them. As of the official English release of Template:GameTitle in 2024, the Mixed Family has been referred to as the "Mixed Family" on the official website, making it official by our stabdards.

Synthesis

Synthesis (Japanese: 合成) is a mechanic introduced in Template:GameTitle. While fn of the past commonly referred to it as "Melding", from the item Melding Jar, we've opted to use Synthesis as we felt it better describes the process. As well as the Melding Jar or Synthesis Pot not being the only way to synthesize be items.

The Template:GameTitle official localization may also be considered a source, based on the localized name Synthesis Jar for the previously named Melding Jar / Melding Jar . However, to our knowledge, it was never referred to as Synthesis, or if it was, we don't know where. So again, that would be naming the element based on the item name.
