How come Lunarians have their names spelt with Capital letters in the middle of their names? :confused: Is it a Lunarian thing or something?

I guess so. You gotta admit it looks cool though. At least on everyone's favorite mop. :love:

Yeah. :D
Except when there's L's and I's in someone's name. It gets confusing with the lowercase and uppercase letters.
I always assumed it was just a way of putting an emphasis on certain letters.

Probably inspired by names from Superman (JorEl, KalEl etc.)

The Japanese names have double vowel sounds, and I guess FFIV's original translators thought FuSoYa was an ideal abridgment of the highly literal romanization of "Fuusuuya." I'd have just gone with Fusuya, personally.

You have to imagine Lunarians probably can't spell in the english language too well.

Because they're so powerful they raise the letters with magic.

Most likely Square was trying to have people emphasize certain letters and sounds in order to 'talk' like these Lunarians may have. Or maybe it's another conspiracy of Square...

They're trying to imitate Chinese names, each syllable in a name begins with a capital letter, and each name contains two or three syllables.

That's because even though Cecil is half-Lunarian, he was raised on the "blue planet." Hence, his name wouldn't be Lunarian. The Lunarian names do look pretty cool, though. :D
