    For not considering this, you fail again peter.
    I thought that that was handled well in FFX. I rarely noticed that Tidus' name was never spoken.

    With the increasing use of voice acting in games, I don't want to see any games with the option of changing someone's name again.

    While handled fairly well, X just BUGGED me because they never say the guy's name. Imagine having a game where nobody ever says their name because it's fully voice-acted but you can change everyone's name.

    That would piss me off to no end.

    Renaming chars is good, but not anytime. Once will do just fine. I'm fine with giving it up for voice acting, though. Some names are really stupid and I'd hate to get stuck with them. Examples: Reina, Bartz, Dagger, Amarant. Most names in FFXII seems pretty stupid too, but voice acting made me grow on names like Lulu and Seymour even though they are silly.

    IF you dont like it then you could reset cause you name characters pretty early.

    it would only make more sense if it were like a PSX game, since voice-acting is becoming a bigger part of the video-game industry. i often question why i named a certain character with a specific name though. i have no problems with most default names.

    I usually use the set names anyway unless im PLaying FF8 were you can make Ifrit say "Oh no they have toilet seat" im imature I Know but the set names usually make the RPG feel more original.

    The only person I want to rename is Dagger. It wouldn't work well with voice acting just see how it went in X nobody in the game asked for his name, called him by his name, or even knew his name.

    I voted no, however I was suprised to see that alot of the people agreed with me!

    My reasoning: Final Fantasy X is my favourite game but only one thing annoyed me: Tidus's name was never spoken. He was always referred to as "him" or "you". Either way it would have annoyed me, after finding out that his name is pronounced "tee'duss" (how random). So if there is voice acting or even if there is not, I always keep the default name cuz it is just so much better.
