I've been watching some more FFVII videos and yes, it's Cloud, Red XIII and Cid in the party. I'm more used to EM Master, Nanaki and Captain. Or Duffman, Cloudo and Matress instead of Barret, Cloud and Tifa. Is it just me who likes to personalize each save?

Zeromus, the above has mature themes, viewer discretion is advised.

I dont name my characters, I use to always name my lead characters by my first name, but now I just like default. Unless it's horrible. So overall no, I never really renamed them, the names are cool anyways.

Already a topic.

Apart from that,I usually keep them the same. It's the only Final Fantasy in which i do. (Except FFVIII, but that's only worth mentioning in brackets, see?)

When I was a kid I'd give my characters silly names. I really wanted to call my favorite female characters by my first name but my first name is too long - Ann'Elise sad.gif Never fit

I named Aeris 'Aerith' and Red XIII 'Nanaki' once, but most of the time, I don't bother with changing the names.

I do want to play a game where everyone is named Sephiroth though. That would be really great.

I only skip renaming most times becuase I'm lazy and can't think of anything witty to name them. ^^

For my first game, I coonamed everyone, which would yeild names such as: Cloudy, Vinnie, Barry, Reddy, Ciddy, etc.

And once I did name Red XIII "RatCatMooOo," because he is indeed a RatCatMooOo. wink.gif

The only name I ever bother changing is Red XIII to Nanaki, just because it's his real name. I dont rename Cait Sith, because I think of the robot as cait sith, just like people would name their cars or robot butlers.

Ah, sorry should've checked first. I had a small look but obviously should've searched it.

I did Slum Drunk as well for Aeris! Great minds... maybe. Also I named Yuffie Naniko after one of the characters in Battle Royale, only to find out her name is actually Noriko. Gutted. I've called Cloud "B" once in honour of one of Egoraptor's celebrated FFVII animations. Nothing quite like - "What the hell you doin' B? Set the bomb."
