    Default Secret of Mana - what are the main chars called in the Japanese original?

    I know that they're called Randi, Purim and Popoie in the American version, but what about that Japanese version?
    I guess it's Randee, Purimu and Popoie, right?

    ASGFTHDB PETER OH DEAR GOD THANK YOU I HAD LOST ALL HOPE IN SEIKEN DENSETSU FAN KIDS. ; ;

    Randi, Purim and Popoie are right. d-n n

    But Actually in the american version their names are Hero, Heroin, and sprite. They don't have given names. AKA, look at naming screen, it says HERO.

    Scratch that, Hero, Girl, and sprite. =D

    Heh, but how do you spell a name like "Randi" in Japanese?
    Do they use the youon modifier sign of a "De" followed by a small "i"?

    Hm...

    I don't know, download the japanese version and emulate it and figure it out. I just know that the american version has them titled, Hero, Girl, and Sprite.

    I never looked to far into how technical their japanese names where other than they were Randi, Purim, and popoie.

    I just call them Seth, Fawn, and Autumn, but that's what Mana theater does to a person.

    Those are katakana, not kanji. But to Romanize them:

    Randi
    Randi

    Purimu
    Purim

    Popoi
    Popoi

    Thanks.

    Yeah, I know they actually were Katakana, but for some reason the computer refused to add any changes to that post; it just kept loading forever.
