It's still Soul Edge in every version in Japan.
I was thinking of when they put the game out in the US, the arcade version was still called Soul Edge but Namco called it Soul Blade in English-speaking territories when it hit PSX. Supposedly there was some trademark issue or something that led to this.

What is REALLY strange about the shift from Edge to Calibur is that Namco actually dropped a couple gameplay mechanics in the transition. Namely, the sword-shaped bar that allowed you to do little supers, and a couple other things.

Calibur is like a whole different beast in terms of feel as well. It feels more hard-hitting.
