			I found a Facebook post with a decent photo of the physical Battlefield Map that I wanted to share:

			There's also this forum post from back in the day with it translated though watermarked. It's probably not right for this wiki to use, but I thought I should still link it for posterity:

	Four years ago huh? Well, I thought I'd bring it up again after reading that long discussion about the "canonicity" of English language subtitles of Japanese media. We seemed to come to the consensus that we shouldn't take changes in the subs too "seriously" after what Shout Factory did, so I have to ask again: "Beest" or "Beast"? The decision to call the article "Beast" seemingly stemmed from the spelling used in the Metrodome subs, but "Beest" from the Dreamwave comic both predates the Metrodome subs and is, well, not a subtitle job for a DVD set (which we seem to dismiss after the whole Shout Factory thing). So should "Beest" be the proper title for this article? --[[User:DrSpengler\|DrSpengler]] 10:14, 24 May 2013 (EDT)		Four years ago huh?
