Did anyone ever name Red "Nanaki" on purpose?

Not really, it's been so long since my first playthrough so yeah.

I am proud to say that I have never named him Nanaki. His name is Red XIII to me, as that is what it was when I first got him.

Nanaki is a stupid name anyways.

did anyone rename cait sith to (SPOILER)reeve after finding out who he really was?

[Hyperion4444]

Did anyone notice that Red XIII coresponds with FFXIII main character?
Red XIII. And the main XIII character has red hair.

Some could say it's a coinsidence
But it was made on purpose.

hahaha! omg that is funny as hell roflmao

I go for whatever I feel like at the time: Shorten it to "Red" or change it to "Nanaki"... I actually prefer "Red" anyway. (Unless I'm playing my German copy, then he's "Rot XIII" instead. Cloud becomes Claud, Aeris becomes Äris, Yuffie becomes Yufie and Vincent becomes Vinzent... it came out in Germany before the spelling reform of 1998 so it doesn't look like it was deemed necessary to phonetically change the characters' names.)

Never called Cait Sith "Reeve" before, I'll have to this time.

I usually just leave names as they are, but I couldn't bring myself to leave Dagger's name as is. It just didn't seem right like that, so I changed it back to Garnet. I used to change names, but I changed that before my second time playing Final Fantasy VII.

"Who's Nanaki? Nanaki is Nanaki!"

He says that no matter what you call him.

Indeed. That scene wouldn't really make sense otherwise, since the Cosmo Canyon bloke has no idea that Nanaki's been known as Red XIII. When he says that "Nanaki is Nanaki", he's saying "he is what he is", a deliberately vague and quasi-new-age way of summing up the character without saying anything genuinely useful.

I've called him Nanaki in the past; sometime, I'll do a run where everone's called Sephiroth or Aeris is 'my balls', since that one's a timeless classic. I called her Aerith one time, but it messes up a couple of lines where the possessive form of her name is usually given as Aeris'.

Hmm... maybe it could be fun to call Cloud "my angsty shadow"? Could lead to some entertaining lines.

"Because, my angsty shadow, you are... a puppet".

"I'm sorry, I'm going to stay here with my angsty shadow..."

"This is my angsty shadow. He's my bodyguard".

In some instances, it gives a pretty literal - if cynical - picture of Cloud's character, and how the other characters (especially Cloud, Tifa, Aerith) all act toward him.

To think about it... very soon, it'll only be through games like FFVII where we can have the fun of giving puerile nicknames to characters in an otherwise-serious story. Voice-acting might add something to a game, but it takes away one of the less-renowned replay options.

My cousin made me name it Jenny, and I've sorta gotten used to it now.

[Kanshisha]

Don't insult the name!

Anyhoo, I can say I've never even thought about naming cait sith reeve. I just call him cait, most of the time
