Did Anyone See Garnet's Real Name?

[BlackMagicShrine]

If you did tell me?

[Braindead_Paul]

I did.
(SPOILER)Sara

[Chris]

Yeah her real name is... well, what he said.

[Destai]

Its funny to hear that. I remember being told that her real name was Sara ages ago (as in years ago) by this extremely unreliable kid and with no reason to believe him naturally I thought it was bull. So why exactly is her name(SPOILER) Sara?

[Rikku199]

uhhh, when does it say in the game that her name is sara? becuase i know she wasn't THE Garnet Til Alexandrios (if thats how ya spell it) but i didn't know it acturley said her real name in the game, so where does it say? (it'll give me another reason to try and get past disk 3)

[Monol]

In the summoner village (where theres all the mogs and where eiko lives) in the little shrine area if you do somthing it tells you...i found out in the 4th disk...sorry if i cant remember the details

On the Eidolon Wall in Madain Sari. Return there on Disc 4 and follow these instructions:

Take a party with Dagger or Amarant into Madain Sari and go to the kitchen of the Moogles' home. Lani will be there but will run away. Leave the village and return without Dagger or Amarant, and she won't run away. Talk to her twice, then go to the Eidolon Wall. Once there, walk to the right until you've walked all the way around past the exclamation point that will appear above Zidane's head and hear a chime. Then walk to the left the same distance until you hear the chime again. Then walk back to the right again.

Repeat this process nine times, alternating direction each time -- and making sure you hear the chime each time -- until you get a message stating that the characters' HP and MP has been restored and all negative status abnormalities have been removed. Now when examining the Eidolon Wall, more information will appear. On Ifrit's part of the wall, Dagger's true name can be seen. (SPOILER)Her name is Sarah and her mother's name is Jane. These were the names of a Princess and Queen (mother and daughter) in Final Fantasy I.

Okay, this has nagged me for a very long time, and if you guys could clear it up for me, I would be very greatful. It has to do with the proper spelling of Garnet's true name.

(SPOILER) Is Garnet's real name spelt with or without the "h"? I've seen it posted both ways, Sara and Sarah, around the internet. My current game is only on Disk 3, or I would go check it out myself.

[Llanowar]

If I remember correctly. (I'll go check it sometime when I feel like digging through memory cards for the save data.) It was withOUT the h

Any theories on her last name?

[Maya]

Her real name is indeed (SPOILER)Sarah. I just played that part and I remember that well. Her father had wrote it to the eidolon wall.
By the way, does anyone know what happened to him (Garnet/(SPOILER)Sarah´s father) after that storm? Apparently he survived but what after that? And why Eiko was alone? Could she be close related to Garnet/(SPOILER)Sarah?
I don´t think that anyone in this game has lastnames. I haven´t noticed.

[Vyk]

Wasn't it Zidane Tribal? Or something like that. Honestly I didn't follow this game much like I did the other FFs. I just assumed as a FF thing that everyone gets a full name...

I have no idea. I have missed/forgot things so can`t say. I believe that because this game was more like fantasy and charachters were partly animal-like etc. they don´t have lastnames. In other games, charachters are mostly humans, so of course they have lastnames there. In this game some of them, like Zidane, were created genome which has a soul. But I might be wrong.

[Xander]

Most of the characters in FFIX *did* have last names:
Zidane Tribal
Vivi Orunitia
Adelbert Steiner
Freya Crescent
Eiko Carol
Quina Quen
Amarant Coral

If I'm not mistaken in most of the FF games characters had first and second names (maybe not the oldest ones), until FFX when for some reason they didn't.

I don't know about Garnet's real last name though.

It's with the "h." I took a picture of the screen last night with my webcam: Linkage.


As far as the last names go, there's an inconsistency between the Japanese and English surnames for Vivi: The Japanese name is "Ornitier" while the English name is "Orunitia."
