The only reason I know this is because back when 4th job came out for MS, people were confusing Night Lords for Night Roads because L and R are the same letter in whichever asian language it was, or SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
So it's more correct to say the L, not because it's really more American or better, but because of this mistranslation.
Wrong way round my man. Japanese only has R sounds. There are no L's in Japanese at all, and the R letters ("Ra, Ri, Ru, Re, Ro") are used instead when translating words from other languages into japanese. Theres no real way of deciding which is more correct, until the manga writer produces an official translation (there have been a couple of times where her name has shown up written in english in the anime/manga, and it's always shown as erza scarlet)
It's only "Zolo" in english because the translators were pomegranatescared of being sued for having a sword fighter named anything similar to "Zorro". Theres a reason why all the english thats in the japanese versions spells it "Zoro"
