...Me, I just go with the default names. Actually, in my first playthrough I came up with a bunch of names that are too lame to disclose (Except that I name Relm "Kagami" which sounded kind of nice).


...Anyway, the question here is, what did YOU name them?

The first time I played Final Fantasy VI,
I only gave four of my characters different names,

Edgar: Engine
Sabin: Motor
Cyan: Curio
Gau: Goofus (I named him that because he presented himself like a goofy doofus)

The only two characters I renamed. I always rename the main character "Gohan" and my favorite female character after myself. smile.gif

edit: Oh, and in FFVI, I renamed the characters from CYAN to Cyan etc. because all capitals bother me.

the first time playing an RPG, (FFX) i accidentally made the character's name my own. tidus, as i have mentioned before, is not exactly my favorite character. since then, i have been completely paranoid with naming characters anything other than their original names. it even bugged me when garnet changed to dagger.

To me, it doesn't feel right naming them anything other than the default names. That's who they are. That, and I'm too lazy to come up with different names.

I still love what my friend did. She renamed all of her characters "Bob" once. And it was most amusing at the last battle, when a whole screen of "Bobs" showed up to be chosen for the last battle... XD

Once I renamed all of the characters as "characters from other FFs with simlar character/classes."

Which made it like...

Locke - Zidane
Celes - Freya
Shadow - Rinoa (because of the dog...?)
Edgar - Porom
Sabin - Parom
Terra - Vivi
Setzer - Cid (I think because of the airships)
Umaro - Khimari
Relm - Eiko
Strago - Strago
Gau - Gau
Mog - Mog



Other than that, I usually leave them as their default names, sans THE CAPSLOCKED NAMES OF DOOM. I have to get rid of the CAPSLOCKED NAMES. ^^

*In comic store guy from simpsons voice* i believe you are referencing Edge, from FFIV, the Ninja PRINCE, not king.*end voice* what does ddd stand for?

I left everyone the same, except gogo, who I named Cefca, and I watched the twins, Kefka and Cefca battle it out, with Terra dual ultima, sabin phantom rush, and someone else healing. GOGO ROCKS!

Ironically, I started to rename guys a few weeks ago, when playing FF8. It's strange how you can start liking a guy just because his name is Lenny. Anyway, I only remember some highlights of FF6.

Edgar: McCoy (I love Law & Order)
Sabin: Lenny (Again, Law & Order)
Gau: Ed (from Cowboy Bebop)
Shadow: Abe (Lincoln was too long)
Locke: Nil (he means nothing to me)
Umaro: Stupid (funny and true.)

And yes, I named one character after me, that being Setzer. Average, but with a sense of style and class.

Why do the mods always lock the gogo forums? it is fun to speculate, and to hear what the other people have to say. that one hurt Ranger 51...
Terra.... Madona
Sabin ..... Maduin
Edger .... Gesthal
Shadow.....Clyde
Gogo.....Kefka

He's refering to the enemy from kirby King DEEDEEDEE, not edge from FFIV. Also to responce to you're other post, that topic was closed like two years ago or more when people wouldnt stop namming stupid things gogo could be. Now on with more names I once did a DBZ theamed FF6.

Terra : Bluma
Celes : Launch (cause of the blonde hair.)
Sabin : Goku (take a wild guess why.)
Edgar : Raditz (another wild guess why)
gau : Krillion (Hey i had to get him in there some how.)
Shadow : Piccolo (It fits trust me, even if shadow isnt my favor character.)
locke :Trunks (hey he's heroic.....like...)
Strago : Roshi (master wouldnt make sense and it wouldnt fit.)
Mog :Karin
Gogo : Hercule (i didnt know what else to call such a joke of a character.)
Umaro: Vegeta (All brawn no brain)
Realm : Pan
Setezer : Tiaen(i think thats how his name is spelled. I dont know why but his slots seemed similar to Tiaens moves.)
Cyan : Yajarobi (Hey he was a samauri)

I think that is all of them.

When the game first came out, I remember renaming all the character, but over time, and as I replayed the game, I just named most of them the default name. But these three character I always rename. I just don't see them as anything else.

Cyan - Oho (I don't know why or how, but he has always been Sir Oho)

Celes - Venus (I'm into Greek and Roman Mythology)

Shadow - Fantom (Because Phantom wouldn't fit. I like "Phantom of the Opera)

RIght now I have:
Sabin : Toast
Cyan : Club
Shadow : Blob
Celes: Slut
Locke: Thief

'Tis good to see I'm not the only one who favors wacky names:

Code

TERRA  - VOIP
LOCKE  - CORKY
EDGAR  - LEFTY
SABIN  - LEFTY   (ooh yeah, brotherly confusion.)
CELES  - CELERY  (I was hungry.)
CYAN   - THOU    (LEFTY: "I'm not Mr. Thou, he is!")
SHADOW - TURKEY  (What? It was Thanksgiving.)
GAU    - WEASEL  (fits...)
SETZER - SETZER  (couldn't change, too cool.)
STRAGO - DEUTCH  (misspelled, but "Deutsch" wouldn't fit.)
RELM   - GWEEEM  (DEUTCH: "GWEEEM!!!!!" Ah, good times.)
MOG    - OHSNAP
GOGO   - IT!KPF  (random)
UMARO  - ALGORE  (Sasquatch should've won the Nobel Peace Prize.)



In all fairness, I actually do prefer to use the original names most often, though sometimes I can't help but make a change. Some names, like "Setzer," "Aeris," and "Quistis," are all cool, but stuff like "Squall" is a big no-no. wink.gif

Setzer - Betway (After some gambling website)
Locke - Duster (After Duster the thief in Mother 3.)
Edgar - Poe (After Edgar Alan Poe."
Sabin - Bamse (After the swedish comic character, Bamse.)
Cyan - Asia (After Master Asia in G Gundam.)
