The default names work nicely, I never bother with changing them.

i agree. ive had this idea that if i want to ask someone about the game but cant remember their default names it would be more dificult. :P

I keep their real names, too.

Fourthed for real names; but I've considered playing through with everyone named Kuja.

Kuja (Eiko): "Pale... White hair... Strange clothes... Kuja told me about you! You're Kuja!" Kuja(Quina): "Kuja look for man named Kuja. I called Kuja."

Kuja (Eiko): "Pale... White hair... Strange clothes... Kuja told me about you! You're Kuja!" Kuja(Quina): "Kuja look for man named Kuja. I called Kuja."

haha

Original names, though I named Garnet back to Garnet. Dagger sounds gay

Tell me, how do you pronounce Garnet.
Because I was apparently saying it wrong like Gar-Net. And my girlfriend at the time laughed at me and said its a gemstone said like Garn-Yet

Now you may laugh at her. :-D (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/garnet)

I have a bad habit of naming them after characters from previous games.

What were the light warriors in FFI called?

It's quite amusing to name them all the same name......



...although the novelty wears off after about ten minutes.

i named everyone
ss unit for melee and quina
22mage for all the magic users

Now you may laugh at her. :-D (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/garnet)


garnet



1. A graphical object editor and Macintosh environment.

!_!

I always name the main main character (example: cloud in ff7 and zidane in ff9) , well i always name the very main character after me, don't know why, then i keep the rest default names.

Zidane................Jino (my name)
Vivi....................Yellow?
Garnet/Dagger......Stinker
Steiner................Clank
Freya..................Psycho!
Quina..................Bob
Eiko....................Kiddo
Amarant..............Slurpy

Zidane - Sain
Vivi- Sain'
Garnet- Sain''
Steiner- rUsTy1
Freya- raTFacE
Quina- p00p13
Eiko- khunt
Amarant- F1R3CR0TCH

Default names win

I just go by their default names.

I changed dagger to sarah since that is her real name.

the only name I changed was Steiner's to Rustnut.

I changed dagger to sarah since that is her real name.

Knowing Sarah from this board, I don't think I could do it. It'd just be stuck in my head. Damnit.

The first time I played through the only name I changed were Steiners and Vivis. Steiner I called James after one of my brothers because he also has a big mouth and a short fuse and Vivi I called Daniel after my little little brother. I don't know why it just fitted.
Second play through I kept the default names.

Amerant, Flak
Dagger, Lash
Zidane, Adder
Steiner, Hawke
Quina, Jugger
Vivi, Koal
Freya, Kindle
Eiko, VonBolt (lol)

these would strike me as bizzaro/evil twin versions
(funny named redxii "nanaki")

I usually kept their default names, even thouhg it was funny for a little while to see them interact with really ridiculous names.

Zidane................Zidane
Vivi....................Vivi
Garnet/Dagger......Robin
Steiner................Ivan
Freya..................Anyanka (ups,too much Buffy)
Quina..................Quina
Eiko....................Niniane
Amarant...........Aladdin

I keep their original names. I think it's much better that way.

Either: Default

or Zidane : Joe (my name) Rest Default

Funny names
Zidane: You fag (everyone will call you a fag)
Steiner: Rusty (Zidane will call him rusty then he will correct zidane and say his name is Adelbert Rusty!)
Dagger/Garnet/Sarah: My Hoe (Zidane along with everyone else will claim her as their hoe)
Amarant: Faggot (he will call himself the flaming faggot when he joins your party, SE just set us up for that one XD)
and then default the rest I guess

as for those of you whom are serious RPers and want to go with serious names, don't be lazy and default all of them, Get creative and come up with your own names.

Eiko - Jilly, Steiner - Sigmund, Vivi - Moko, the rest almost default

I always set the name in one set :
Zidane----------Shin/Shino
Garnet----------Rheya/Kotomi
Steiner---------Godai/Bradley
Vivi-------------Edo/Jowy
Freya-----------Claire/Ann
Eiko------------Chloe/Yui
Amarant--------Edd/Raven
Quina----------Helga/Himika

And always use those set at all changable name in RPG games.

Amarant: Faggot (he will call himself the flaming faggot when he joins your party, SE just set us up for that one XD)

HA!!! I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one who thought that as I played through, LMAO!

I renamed my characters only the first time I played through the game, because that's just how I rolled way back when. They were totally random weirdness that had nothing to do with anything.

Zidane – Z
Vivi –*Vyjol
Dagger –*Zeyon
Steiner – Vorvog
Freya –*Sledgeh (supposed to be Sledgehammer, but yeah.)
Quina –*Didn't change it, never cared enough about Quina to bother :p
Amarant –*Fire (No joke; I was floored when they called him 'flaming' :O)
Eiko – George (o.O)

I keep their original names. I think it's much better that way.This.
Occasionally I'll do custom names but for the most part I usually keep the defaults. Not sure why, just always preferred it that way.

Kept their original names.

Ok, let's see.

Zidane - Zidane
Vivi - Vivi
Garnet/Dagger - Garnet (For the lulz. My name will be....Garnet! All: ......)
Steiner - Koopnut (Wasn't really fond of him and I forgot how I came up with the name tbh lol.)
Freya - Freya
Quina - Crystal (Mean joke on my sister when I was younger and it grew on me.)
Eiko - Eiko
Amarant - Amarant

I always keep the names the way they're supposed to be. I know a lot of people change Dagger's name back to Garnet but I don't like to do that as it takes away from the story. I like the nickname Dagger too :)

Xx..xX

I usually keep the original names aswell, but I changed Dagger and Amarant to Cheech and F. Red.

I NEVER change the default names of characters in a game. Just because the default names always seem to work.

i like all other default names but i changed dagger to lazuli, because dagger sounded so wrong.

I've named Dagger Bethany and Annika among others. I always give Quina a unisex name, like Rowan or Shannon. Others depends on my mood. :D

I usually keep default names, period. The main reason being when I re-visit the game later (possibly by years), I hate seeing names from the past, as they usually don't relate to me at the present.

Default because i don't like real world i lives, games is game and reality is very cruel

I usually keep the default names. If not, I change them to random Japanese names, kupo.

Zidane - Rikky
Vivi - Foozy
Steiner - Fudge ((LOL))
Garnet - Monica
Freya - Lou Lou
Qu - Worda
Eiko - Anna
Amarant - Mark (he reminded me of my mom's ex boyfriend, slim, long hair, got me into video games, because of him Final Fantasy IX is my favorite video game ever)

I started playing FF9 when I was around 9 and I still remember those names. Gonna be 21 and still are my names I would never change. x]

I changed dagger to sarah since that is her real name.

So did I, seemed stupid calling her dagger, didn't really suit.

Well, I left them as is. Didn't see much merit in changing them.

But if I were to replay it, I'd change Dagger to AK47. Why name yourself after a weapon when if your pick is the weakest blade of the lot?

Let's name them all after weapons, if Princess Priss insists on going that route. Zidane is Bazooka, Vivi is Winchester, Steiner is RPG (Rocket-Powered Grenade), Dagger is AK47, Amarant is Revolver, Eiko is Shotgun, the fat porker whose name escapes me is Dynamite, and Freya is Grenade.

I'd like to see that ladyboy Cujo try to eff with my crew.
