I kept the default names. On everything. In every FF game.


And what the hell is up with all those damn sigs? I demand you give me back the bandwidth you wasted.

I occasionally got creative with the names, but I don't think I ever messed with the names here. So Ifrit was, well, Ifrit! And so on.

Yeah, what the? Somebody got an admin on those, stat!

(Seriously, I'm about to go into Trance or something and gain crazy admin powers and delete those myself.)

I always kept the default names too on every FF character to start out with on my starting game, but GFs or Eidolons and such, I never really thought it was right.

I nominate Prak for Moderator/Senator/House of Commons/UN Ambassador.

I also keep the default names as its easier than trying to remember what you called each one in battle.

I rarely change default names, unless they're God awful (ie, Butz). My sister played FF8 for a bit (but gave up because of Junctioning, and never played any FF again) and she had renamed every GF and Squall to some crazy-ass thing, and during battle I couldn't remember who was who!

Oh Yea,I named Squall : Mike,it was my first FF where I could name who i wanted,cuz my brother lemme play his lol,I was gonna name Rinoa Something else to but i did to much research on FFVIII and decided to keep her name !

I had never changed the names of the GF before. And I am not going to. I like the original ones, they sound fine to me. :)

And if I talk to others I don't need to think about it. I'd probably mix it up after a while. ;)

Doesn't that suck. Almost everyone I know who played VIII for their first FF never played another FF again. Probably because of the junction system.

Whenever I play a FF game, I always keep the default names for everything. To me, it makes it less confusing that way.

When i play any ff game where you can rename a character, i always keep it at default. But then if i replay them, i go and rename everything just to fool around. I cant really remember what i named what.

Elvin Boy

I know this is FFVIII thread but, FF X has consumed my gaming life, so heres an update of my aeons:

The second time ound, i changed them too crappy names like Herb and Phil, etc.

I named Doomtrain to X-2000 (the fastest train in Sweden)

i'm re-playing FF8 and i've named the following;

Shiva - IceSquall
Ifirt - IrvaFlame
Quezacotle - ZellStorm
Siren - SelfyCall

as you can see i'm not very far yet (just at the bit where you run away from the big robot AHHHH!) but i've named them to corrisponde with the ppl the go with, see if you can guess who i give them to ;)

Extraction
09-28-2004, 08:49 PM
I can see you have given them to 4 different ppl. But why don't you just give them to 3 ppl and switch their junctioning? oO

Rikku_Love
09-29-2004, 07:44 AM
i don't know, i just like one to be with one, i sometimes make 2 for one, but i like having the following;

Zell - Quezacotle (always)
Squall - Shive (always)
Irvane - Ifrit (always)
Selfie - Siren (always)

and so on so forth. i don't know why i don't swap them around lol

Extraction
09-29-2004, 03:03 PM

Probably because of the junction system.I didn't mind Junctioning at all, but it was definitely a bit difficult to get used to. It was overwhelming until I got the hang of it. My sister just got extremely confused and said that it was too "Smart" for her, and left. ;)

I kept all the default names, but sometimes, I changed the name of the main character. As for the junction system, I know a friend who gave up FFVIII because he told me the junction system confused him totally.

But let me tell you one thing. FFVIII was my FIRST FF, and I still didn't give up on playing this game, on the contrary, I decided to play it until I get a hang of the junction system. And I did. Wasn't hard at all. I really don't understand how people can turn away to such a great game just because it seems a bit complicated at first. Well, I guess I'm getting kinda off-topic here.

I don't think that I ever changed anyone's names. I remember changing the names of my FF7 characters the first time I played, but that was it.
I like the names in FF8 just the way they are so I never changed them.

i don't get that... i think the sphere grid in FFX is 100 times more confusing!!!
FFVIII's the first game in the series I played, and it's still my favourite, probably cause the story's ACE!!!, but also, i see the other side, cause until you get the hang of it, the junction system's hella-difficult to understand!!, but i prefer the draw-system of getting magic, rather than using MP, and having to wait until you've 'learned' magic to be able to use it... THAT annoys the hell out of me!!

but anyway... *drags the thread back on topic* i don't usually rename anything on an FF game, cause I'd get confused if i had to ask for help with something, cause yes, i'm that ditzy!!!
