    it was made additionally confusing by the fact that a lot of the english/U.S. localizations of the NES/SNES final fantasy games translated it as 'fenix down.' Which was weird because the games didn't always mis-translate phoenix that way, just in that one specific instance.

    It's likely to fit the text string into the available spaces (the Japanese script probably takes less characters). But yeah, I know in the OG SNES version of FF6, which is the mainline Final Fantasy I played the most, it was straight up "Fenix Down." The hell's a fenix and why is it so down? Fuck it, it revives my dudes, who cares.

    So basically you're saying you're down with it?

    in bravely default they specifically call defeat in battle "KO"
    so this happens to be one of the few games with revival items/magic where this "confusion" doesn't apply.

    I think several methods of "reviving" state they "cure KO"

    And, as RatherDashin89 pointed out, despite the joke being ancient G&T still managed to retell it in a way that makes it funny yet again.
