The formal name of the Symphogear system is 「FG式回天特機装束」, which translates
roughly as "FG-Type Sky-Returning Specialized Garment". (Maybe? I probably
screwed something up, but this is close enough for the purposes of this
question)

What does the "FG" in there stand for?

What does the "FG" in the formal name of the Symphogear system stand for?


In the manga translator's (<http://symphogear.blogspot.com>) commentary, the
FG is guessed to stand for Fonic Gain (it should be Phonic Gain). However, I'd
speculate that it would mean Phonic Gear as it is the more elegant and title-
consistent explanation.

As we know, Symphogear could mean Symphonic Gear while Symphonic itself means
(etymologically) "Sounding Together/Concomittant Sound" due to the syn- prefix
means "together/with" or "concommitant"
