He did it for the sake of consistency. Many cards already use ・ to separate 2 foreign words, and in English that symbol is replaced by space. The ＝ symbol plays a similar role, with dash being the equivalent.

I agree = looks cooler, even though it might not be typographically correct in English. It certainly gave a more appealing look, and it might be just what WIXOSS creators were trying to achieve as well. In my opinion, I don't think we should transliterate symbols so literally, especially in names, it doesn't really add up anything of value, and it is something already familiar that appears on the card at first sight even if you don't know the language. The visual disparity becomes confusing.

At the same time, we have "Två", which doesn't appear in the Japanese text, but achieves a similar effect from our side. Cards like Piruluk have greek letters in their header name, but full text in Katakana. Obviously, using the full text is more search-friendly and more readable. The game doesn't have an official English release, so there's no arbiter to say what is correct and what not, as many things are open to interpretation, it's natural to introduce some conveniences. There's definitely a personal aspect to it though, I'd prefer "Rememba" as that's what the Japanese side used in official material, even though it sounds kinda "wrong", but oh well. :D

I agree in this case it might be a bit excessive and unneeded. Visually, the = does divide the names from the secondary descriptors far better. On the other hand, this change isn't something that hasn't been done before, as in the case of Ann-Mira, Phantom Dragon, but at the same time Remember LRIGs use the ・ symbol, which might hint at either of them being a stylistic choice.

Poison Fang SIGNI also use that symbol in their names, if we were to follow this, they would also need to be changed. Eldora, Anne, Mel, Liwat, Layla as well... Is it worth it?

Well no one really cares, as long as we keep getting proper translations of the card effects, which I'm very thankful for. I might still follow the wiki format for the sake of consistency if Blitzer decides to continue, even though I prefer the old names, but creating more division would be pointless.
