    It's hard to explain, but Sabin just sounds too "soft" for that character. Mash suits him much better.

    FFXIV Character

    This thread cracks me up.

    Would be funny if Shiva was named after some type food. Maybe McDonalds, put into that frame above.

    I renamed Rinoa to Rose when I first played, haven't changed anything since.

    I think Mash sounds too soft. As soft as mash potatoes. If you say Sabin like "Sa-BIN" it sounds harder.

    My problem with Tina is just that it sounds too common. Terra has an earthy quality to it that is a good parallel with Celes (I know it wasn't meant to be like that but it worked out well). I am a big fan of the Woolsey translation, he did a great job given the situations he had to work with.

    Mashed potatoes are potatoes that have been mashed. Hard things mash.

    True. But you have the dinner, 'bangers & mash', with the mash being mashed potatoes, but simply referred to as mash. lol... I can't not believe I just typed that in a FF forum.

    Default Namingway!!

    Did you ever rename or make up names for any characters when possible? I've changed Amarant's name to Red in later playthroughs, and in FFX Tidus became Evian and Frans and Ixion was named Kit Fox on one of my files.

    I know I started this thread, but I actually agree on this point.

    Ixion is named Kit Fox in a screenshot in the International manual. Maybe the other manuals too, but I wouldn't know that since I don't have them, now would I?

    How strange. As far as I know, he just works in manga; maybe he knew someone who was working on FFX.

    I renamed them when I was younger, but I can't be bothered with it now, save for one time when I played FFVI. The only one I piss around with is changing Aeris to Aerith because I think it's prettier. I will change them for the Eyes on FFVII playthrough aka playthrough of the best FF (I'm getting started on the smacktalk early) out of boredom, though.

    I never change names, even if I know the character's actual name. Like I always keep Red XIII as Red XIII and Frog from Chrono Trigger as Frog.
