The katakana is definitely right as that's what it says in the in-game unit profiles. Pronunciation is a little trickier but I suppose if there's anyone we could trust right now, it would be the stage play actors. They'd have to do character studies after all and I'm sure the stage play staff have already met with some of the game's staff to discuss the characters, story, and such and fine being one of the main units featured in the story would have come up eventually.

The meaning though, that's more of a speculation if memory serves me right but I don't think it's that far off tbh. Yeah, the word "fine" can mean a few things but if combined with the katakana reading, it actually narrows the list down. The Italian term "fine" (like in "da capo al fine") seems the most probable because it actually is a music term and I think that's why most people agree to this being the origin of the unit's name. A quick search also brings up the pronunciation of that word to be "fee-nay" which is why people have been saying it's pronounced as such. I personally don't agree 100% though. I think the "ehh" ending is closer to it's actual pronunciation than the harder "ay" sound but I don't really have a right to judge as I speak neither Japanese nor Italian fluently.

The trivia description was a little too vague as well. imo it doesn't fully express/explain what the word actually means which is why I'm even more hesitant on undoing your edit now that I'm thinking more clearly. Idk "the end" just doesn't seem to give it justice? Like someone just googled it, skimmed the description then told everyone the tl;dr version without explanation? If I were to be asked then I probably would have said "final" would be a closer term but that sounds just as lacking as the previous meaning. Does that make sense? I'm sorry I'm not very good at explaining things. Maybe it's best if you just read the full meaning of the music term "fine" and come up with your own opinion.

Anyways, I don't think you should worry too much. I didn't really find the change that much of an inconvenience and I definitely see where you're coming from seeing as there's no source and all that. I wasn't intending on being defensive about it or anything so I apologize if it sounded like I was. You mentioned it not making much sense to you so I just wanted to explain why people have speculated this to be the meaning, that's all.
