If you gave Red XIII a different name, what was it? I know when he said "call me whatever you wish" it gave me thumbs up to do so when I was 10. Lol.

I named him Meteor in my first playthrough.
Second and third was Red XIII.
My last playthrough; Nanaki.
My next one I'll call him Kimarhi or something.

I rotate between Red XIII, Nanaki, and Charlie (a good friend of mine, which I use in concert with other characters being named after other friends--big surprise, right?).

I used to always call him Nanaki because I watched my neighbour playing FFVII through before I bought it myself. Years later I now call him Red XIII. I like the sound of it better. In conversation I'll just call him Red.

Once I was trying to make a perfect save getting everything in the game early and doing lots of levelling up, and when it came to naming him I was in the bathroom so my friend called him Cloud to screw up the plan. It was pretty funny at the time.

In my first playthrough (only), which i'm getting out of the Cosmo Canyon, I called him Red VII, because i was surprised the default name was XIII, and the FF was VII. Now i know i should have called him Nanaki... or Seto Jr. tongue.gif

I called him Red XIII, because I generally don't make new names. Also anyone think it weird that once Avalance learns his real name, Nanaki doesn't protest to them continuing to call him Red XIII? I guess it's because he already said they could call him what they please...

It's the same thing with Garnet/Dagger.

Pfft. Who actually named her Dagger?

I thought it was the stupidest name ever. I just stuck with Garnet.

It's probably funny to name his Nanaki, and then see Cloud be surprised to find out his real name, lol.

I used all defaults during my one and only playthrough.
Thusly the name I chose was Red XIII exactly.

I call him Nanaki, but its fun to give the others amusing names...
Try calling cloud 'your mum', it makes for extremely funny dialogue....

I think I've mostly been going with 'Red XIII' most often than not. It just... worked. I think I did Nanaki, once, but felt that just mussed the story a touch.

It's like naming CT's Frog, Glenn, or Marle... Nadia? I think her real name's Nadia.

You think you're so very clever at the time, being like, 'Haha! Take THAT game! I know what's REEEEAALLLY going on here!" and then realize it sounds stupid when you get to that point in the story's exposition.

On the subject of naming, I think my favourite character name ever was my friend's CT save wherein he called Ayla 'Nacho'. No idea why he did it, nor why I was so very amused, but I thought it awesome, all the same.

I stuck with Red XIII. I actually kind of thought that Nanaki sounded kind of stupid. I generally don't rename my characters on the first play through. On the second sometimes I do. Which makes me want to play FFVI again and name people based on people I know now as opposed to the last time I played the game. Cool. Something to do.

Whenever I have to name things in games I always choose a theme. (which made Radiata Stories a BLUR of hatred for me). I choose themes like, Tv. Shows, other games, songs, insects, clothing brands, tech stuff

So Red has had a few names...some being

I usually just call him Red. Lion or Kitty Cat are good names too. Or Scooby, as in Scooby Doo. Or Simba or Mufasa from the Lion King.

I stuck with Red XIII. I always keep my characters with the name given to them in the game. I just feel weird calling them something else.

Except here, where I really wanted to keep her as Garnet. But they were going for that plot thing there, and I'm all about plot so I ended up going along with it.

Why didn't I think of that!
