Characters' names
When I started playing, as a young rookie, I thought it was soooo cool to give the characters the names of people I knew. In my mind the game was much more enjoyable ! So, I was Sabin, my cousin was Edgar, my grandfather was Strago, my little sister Relm... and so on.
Did you... do that !?
I've named characters in games after pets, but never after people I've known, except for the occasional Eyes on Plays playthrough where I might name characters after forum members.
I do quite often name them silly names or whatever catches my fancy at the moment.
Name them things like "xD" and "Lol" and it makes for amusing conversations
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Please note that I stopped doing that
I named people names of other people from the same game.
Terra was Celes, Edger was Sabin, Setzer was Umaro, etc
Not really. I just named Celes after myself because she's my favorite female character. :D
Era Vulgaris
"My life's a chip in your pile. Ante up!" ~Setzer, FFVI
"Knights do it two-handed!" ~Drunkard, FFV
Me too!
I name game people after my friends all the time. I decide who gets named who based off personality and relationship to the main character.
...
I like using pronoun-type names, because this allows them to always make sense in the game script.
For example, naming someone "my ass" can result in extremely funny conversations.
"my ass has magical powers."
"You're the spitting image of my ass!""
"Gotta wait for my ass...!!!"
I never did that because it just seems wrong to rename characters who have such strong personalities. I did however do that with I, II (sometimes) and III because they don't really have that much character and (in the case of I and the original III) they didn't have any names.
When we dance, it looks just like Fire.
When we sing, it sounds the same tone.
I usually name the main character after myself, in ff6 I usually do that with Locke. When I was a kid I named the female characters after girls I liked, then I realized that was really dorky. Now I just annouce to whoever is in the room or onlline that naming rights are up for grabs, first come first serve. In FFII this resulted in the best inside joke between a friend of mine and I with "KURTIS SPEAK BEAVER!!!"
I never do this. Now I feel like a loser.
The only time in a FF I did this was in IX. My brother and I named Amarant "Bag of Poo" just to see him say "Flaming Bag of Poo". A joke that lasts two seconds.
Aw man I'm such a dork.When I was a kid I named the female characters after girls I liked, then I realized that was really dorky
...
I never rename my characters. I always stick with default names. Is there something wrong with me?
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"
