I was intended to explain, that it is a matter of translation instead of transcription for Chinese servants. 始皇帝 in Japanese is pretty much the equivalent of 秦始皇 in Chinese, because the name 秦始皇 does not exist in Japanese. The names in game, like those Chinese servants, and Edmond Dantes (as 巌窟王) are in Japanese style. Taufu, I appreciate for all those facts, but 诸葛孔明 is what shows in the game – the tradition for Japanese calling Three Kingdom characters is to use their courtesy name following their given name, like 呂布奉先. For Zhuge, because of his surname it does not follow the pattern. The pattern does not exist in Chinese. So my point is, for Chinese servants, since their names are in Mandarin Chinese, they should follow the traditions in Chinese.
