All RPG:s should feature the possibility of renaming your chars ANYTIME!

[Peter_20]

Fact!

[Nominus Experse]

Why would anyone want such a feature?

In case you suddenly regret the name you use, and easily want to change it.

I use default on all RPG's anyway, unless your forced to name. Im not bothered.

[NeoCracker]

What if theirs Voice acting though.

Also, I like they names they have, as many RPG's name the characters what they do for a reason. The names tend to reflect somehting about the character. Such as Vivi from FFIX, his name means life, or something.

How would you feel if some random person suddenly changed your name, without your consent or concern? These are fragile minds we are dealing with here. These characters usually have no home, are missing at least one parent, their sibling is evil to some extent, have strange powers that relate somehow to destiny, which effectively adds a substantial weight upon their shoulders, etc...

We would break their little minds if we were to suddenly change their names. An identity crisis would simply be too much, I fear.

Let's imagine you change Cloud's name to Cludd by accident.
Don't you wanna have the possibility to quickly change it back DURING the game?

You should have enough sense to double check the names before continuing.

I leave the names the same. Unless we're talking FFVI here, in which point I change all of the CAPITALIZED FOR EMPHASIS names to the more aesthetically pleasing proper ones.

[NeoCracker]

Plus Cludd is a cooler name.

[Peter_20]

I invented it myself, so thank you.

[NeoCracker]

But you wanted to change it back, so you fail.

[escobert]

I use the defualts unless I have a funny theme or something reminds me of a lolish name.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

If I really wanted to change a character's name I would probably force myself to start the game from scratch aswell. That's just my little rule. But I only tend to play RPG's once and with the default names so there isn't going to be much of a problem

I don't think it's required, but having something like the Rename Card in FFVI was a cool feature. Even though my brother and I fought over renaming Sabin, accidently added an A... Sabina, and I called him that for years.
