Did you name the main characters of Type 0 on first-image release?

[Mercen-X]

When the trailers first released, we knew nothing about the main characters other than there were 12 of them and all had different weapons. Neither their relationship, their playstyles, their importance, nor even their names was revealed.

I believe at the time, images and names had been revealed for Rem and Machina.

I don't know about anyone else, but I named all twelve in effort not to confuse them and to sort which were my favorites despite knowing nothing about them.

Here were my names:
Kardes (later revealed to be Ace, and yes because he uses cards)
Priscilla Pfeiffer (Deuce)
Kei (Trey, looked like a Kei)
Billie (Cater, looked like a Billie)
Kylie (Cinque)
Slay (Sice, because scythe)
Renee (Seven)
Reid (Eight, red hair in og artwork)
Shane (Nine, looked like a Shane)
Han (Jack, I dunno)
Violet (Queen, reminded me of Violet from the Incredibles)
Vin (King, reminded me of Vincent... yes because guns)

I almost never bother with renaming characters anymore and even in games where I have to, I'll stick to an official name if there is one, or fall back on a name I always use (Tilos for boys, Alma for girls) unless we're talking old school shit at which point I go with a theme name for the whole team.

I'm just happy they gave the students names and I liked the playing card angle. Much better than Before Crisis where all of them were known simply by their weapon, well except Cissinei since she did eventually get an official name.

Yeah, official "codename"
