WHATS his name?

[unknown+_+]

Does anyone think they know wat the dark guys names going to be?
Or when its going to be released & wat abouts the other charaters?
I hopes his name isn't going to be any thing like Clould, Squall or Yazoo HA HA yazoo *falls on groud in fits of laughter* Poor yazy.:'(
I hope its someting tat fits the characters personality & maybe on wat hes been going trough ,
PLEASE [begs to gawds] let it be something cool.
Any thoughs^_^

[Xelien_5.0]

i have no clue at wat possible time they will be giving out information about his name, i luv any name they give him thoughi just hope its not somthing literal like....Dark or somthing cause that just shows no imagination wats so ever<_<

if i were to choose a name for him it would be......Kyou!!(lol i really dont that name just popped into my head)

[Unknown Kaze]

Id want it to be something uber-leet like Firebrand or something, just something imaginative lol

[Enedok]

I would hate it if he gets a ??? name.:nag:

[Desi]

They should just name him Mar or something. Hopefully they don't steal my name *points to it* hottest name on the planet!

[Shalafai]

He's probably going to have some fancy name since he's royalty. I'd name him Zanarkand just because he reminds me of that city.

[Hextan]

I think that he will get a name that pretty much everyone will be satisfied with. I remember finding out the that the BHK in KH2 was named Roxas and I hated it. But after a while I grew to like it a lot. I think if you don't like this guys name you will grow to like it. Besides TN hasn't ever let us down with his creativity.

[Yin&Yang]

No matter what his name will be (related to weather, gods or colors) the fans will love it anyway. SE has a way of making the name fit to the person and have a deeper meaning as well (or the fans will make it up). And what can be a petter example than Cloud - he is named after a atmospheric condition but no one complains.

[Desi]

And what can be a petter example than Cloud - he is named after a atmospheric condition but no one complains.
I complain all the time but no one cares when I do.

[Kitmitsu]

lol :P The names can be kinda lame but I've pretty much accepted them. Theres no name i've absolutely hated. Even Lightning though bad at first I've sorta gotten used to (if that is her real name). I do hope they pick a name that suits him and no Nomura hasnt let us down yet :)

[Shalafai]

There are some pretty bad Final Fantasy names such as Tidus. Tee-dus... Ty-dus... Just make up a pronunciation. X3

Tifa is not a bad name but it doesn't fit the chracter's personality. Nooj is a horrible name, I prefer LeBlanc's verions: Noojie-Woojie.

In my opinion the best FF names are: Paine and Vincent.

[Unknown Kaze]

Would it not be uber l33t if his name was... Kaze? XD

[Desi]

That was already in the failed Final Fantasy Unlimited. I don't see it being used again. Well not used for a main character again.

[Kitmitsu]

Well they do reuse some names. No reason why they should reuse Kaze...however bad unlimited was. Though that series had the best end credits ever :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1YJIZdRe1M

[Desi]

I hated that hair eating chocobo. But what main character names do they reuse for main characters? I mean, yes i see things like Cloud's shop in FFVIII but that Cloud doesn't join your party. You don't fight battles along side Biggs and Wedge after VI. And we all know Cid/Cidd/Sid/Orlandu doesn't count.

[Hextan]

And we all know Cid/Cidd/Sid/Orlandu doesn't count.

Cid-ok, Cidd-ok, Sid-ok, Orlandu?

[Enedok]

Cid-ok, Cidd-ok, Sid-ok, Orlandu?

In Final Fantasy Tactics, Cidolfas Orlandu is a playable character (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_character).

Meh, another nickname.

[Jae]

Well they do reuse some names. No reason why they should reuse Kaze...however bad unlimited was. Though that series had the best end credits ever :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1YJIZdRe1M

Yes, i agree they do reuse names from what i seen and heard from my friend's who play the games. I do hope he gets a really cool name. :) He looks like a Sharziel or Eleziel is what i would call him. ^^;

[Unknown Kaze]

^ Lol those names sound like they come Lord of the Rings! xD
anyways Whatever his name is I think that SE will try try to make it good cos it will be their first game on the platform and I think that they would want to start it off with a bang.

[Kitmitsu]

Well if her names Lightning, I do hope they put a bit more effort in for his like you say they should :P

[Enedok]

Well, I hope its not Lightning. Think how many times fanboys will write LIGHTNING STRIKES 0l0l0l0l0l0l0l0l:blink:

[Desi]

Well, I hope its not Lightning. Think how many times fanboys will write LIGHTNING STRIKES 0l0l0l0l0l0l0l0l:blink:
Yeah, Nomura's enviromental names are pissing me off. Cloud, squall, Tidus. Not that even Amano's names were that great either. ex. Terra, Bartz, Cecil.

[Unknown Kaze]

Well, I hope its not Lightning. Think how many times fanboys will write LIGHTNING STRIKES 0l0l0l0l0l0l0l0l:blink:


I swear this is for VERSUS XIII... ?

[Exodus]

Terra and Cecil are better than Cloud and Squall and Tidus. Bartz is stupid though, I agree with that.

And Tidus is environmental? What's it mean?

[Desi]

Terra and Cecil are better than Cloud and Squall and Tidus. Bartz is stupid though, I agree with that.

And Tidus is environmental? What's it mean?
Cecil is just eww. Terra is like latin for earth or moon and since I like latin as a language; she wins. Christ my forum name is even latin!

Tidus is like old japanese for Sun.

he wanted to give Tidus a cheerful attitude and appearance, which is reflected in the name Kazushige Nojima chose for him (Tiida is the Okinawan word for "sun")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidus

[zorata]

If Versus is the opposite of FFXIII, then maybe his name would be opposite to Lightning?

[Enedok]

Opposite to lighning: Humos, latin for earth.

Humos... Can live with that. ;)

[Xelien_5.0]

when i saw the word "Humos" the first word that popped into my head was Humor, so i can't picture him having that name :lol:

BTW, Hello zorata!!!(since you be a new member):D

[Kitmitsu]

Yes welcome! :P I dunno about Humos, depends how they say it I guess.

Also Xelien, out of all the weirdness in your avatar...why is Riku kissing a heartless? XD

[Enedok]

It's Anti-Sora:huh:

[Kitmitsu]

Oh yeah! wasnt looking at it properly.

It's still weird :P Damn Yaoi!

[Xelien_5.0]

LOL i luv my new avatar!:lol: (cousin made it for me^_^) yeah i thought the part where Riku was kissing anti-Sora was disturbing, but the other pics make up for it:P

OK! now to get bak on topic, his name could be Nox(which means darkness in Latin)

[Enedok]

Nox. Hmmm... Its even shorter then Cid:P

[Joshun]

I think they should name him Joshun... heh heh... Kidding, but i figure they may follow the nomura fantasy trend and name him sumthin to do with the sky. Course... how many more o those could they possibly come up with LOL

[Joshun]

Nox does sound good tho Xelien. And yeh... your avatar freaked me out the first time i saw it LOL. I was like "huh... that's an interesting av... what the??? whoa!!! whoooaaaa!!!!"

[clavat]

i would name him blizzard or ice you already got lightning

[XwingsofaresX]

he should have a name that shows some sort of darkness since it kinda shows in his eyes...just thinking...^_^

[Kitmitsu]

Yeah i hope it's a sort of dark name. I still can't really think of one...I guess Crimson would be one I got from his eyes but that would be pretty lame :P

Hmmm I wonder if he could be called Cid? That would suck :lol:

[Enedok]

What if they gave him a really boring name, like Rob or somthing like that :cunning:

[Kitmitsu]

Or worse what if they call him Robert Christopher? So many years I've had to endure being called Chris by teachers...but they got what was coming to them :shifty:

[Mirwyn]

Dark name?.... Bin Laden! Nice name, huh? :dance:

jking... For me, a perfect name for him would be Dante ^_^

[Enedok]

Lol, Laden would be a ok name IMO:lol:

If he's a future king I guess he will have a royal name and a number in it.

Like "Edred XIII"

[Desi]

Just add Sa in front of Laden makes Saladin which makes me think of the crusades and War of Genesis III. This off-topic reply has been brought to you by Desi.

On-topic: I hope they give him some long Germanic name.

[XwingsofaresX]

i guess "Damien" would be a good name...^_^

xelien-chan, kimitsu-sensei, everyone, what do you think?

[Xelien_5.0]

:lol: "xelien-chan" that sounds so cute!:hug:

Damien is a pretty dark name, i wouldnt mind him having that name, only it would sound really werid in the Japanese version it would sound like Demienu or somthing:P

[XwingsofaresX]

yeah, youre probably right, xelien-chan. Damien is good for the english version...when it comes out, that is...but then how will they pronounce it in JAP?

oh, by the way, youre welcome, xelien-chan^_^
its a habit ive had for a while^_^
i admire your advice, just so you know...heh heh...

[Yin&Yang]

John Smith!!!:P
Maybe something in Latin like Cruentus - blood, Regius - royal, Extremus - last, Patronus - protect etc to refer his royalty/mission/burden...

[Hextan]

Oh yes horrible name, my sympathies lol. Xelien's got a good idea but no matter what we guess we would probably be way off.

[Mirwyn]

John Smith? How about Pocahontas for the girl in FFXIII? :lol: I would call her Rayne ^_^ And Lightning is a great codename!

I'm pretty sure that their names are going to be original, and I'm sure I'm going to like them :P

PS: ...how about Saddam Hussein? :lmao:

[Enedok]

Bad names
*shudder*

Austin Powers, Darth Vader, Gaylord Focker, Donald Trump, Lisa, L33T 3M0, Elvis, ??? and the one and only: Slartibartfast. :P

[Mirwyn]

I know!!

Dalai Lama!! OMG! That'd be the best name ever in FF!

[Anima]

Hmm Damien that means demon I think...oh yea thats perfect lol but I was thinking something like adrian if i spelt it right <.< but I like foregin names so maybe a germen or french name would be cool

[KisaraCrystal]

I hope his name is not lame, I can't take it when people name all these character really lame from some of the game I play, but still I hope they choose a name that would fit him since he so cute in my opinion.:), by the way anyone know how people post a picture under their message? If you do could you tell me how to do it cause I don't know how to do it, I'm so Stupid.

[Kitsumei]

I personally think names like Cloud or Squall or even tidus aren't that bad.... but it works~!probably tetsuya nomura's trademark (eg: sora=sky). Kinda weird but unique as well. SO giving him an elemetal-ish is not a bad idea ....like storm or Shadow ( in a different language)

[Desi]

I wouldn't even permit the use of using Shadow in a different language. Just for the reason we already have a character named Shadow.

[Lady-15]

since hes a king his name must be weird
i'd love it to be hmm something like emiluos or allen

[XwingsofaresX]

i just have a feeling that his name might be Vale.
i like that name, just so you know.^_^

[Xelien_5.0]

I have a friend I call Vale so i cant really picture that being his name just cause everytime i here the name i think of her. :lol:

[XwingsofaresX]

(...thinking...) i like the name grimm...or even jonathan...(...still thinking...)
^_^

[Desi]

They said his name was mentioned in the radio broadcast. Since I don't know if the broadcast was in english or japanese I'm going to say his name is "Treaty". That's right, you play as Treaty.

[XwingsofaresX]

i dont really think that can be his name, Desi-san.
if i may say so, i think either vale (like i said on the previous page) or evangeline would work.

[The Duke]

Out of all given, i like Nox the most, I hope the name is based off mythology, such as Greek or even Norse, Asgard anyone?

[Pulse]

I would call her Rayne

That would be such a cool real name for Lightning spelt like that and everything. lol

As for the guy in Versus do you actually think they will name him? he may just be nameless? and then you only find out his name or something like at the end of the game? but i dont see them doing something similar in both FFXIII AND Versus.

Josh x

[XwingsofaresX]

i didnt think of that. interesting...i like nox or the choices i posted 2 posts ago.^_^

[Neal]

I changed the thread title to "WHATS" instead of "WATS"...I was annoying me. xD

[Pulse]

I changed the thread title to "WHATS" instead of "WATS"...I was annoying me. xD

lol did you make a point of it by making it caps aswell?

lol

[Xelien_5.0]

Well i still like Nox the most as well(posted it a few pages bak), but Norse doesnt sound too bad..

Ive tried thinking of some new names lately, but my mind keeps going to names of guys in anime >_<

[Misschoco]

norse is the name of that Nordic god. Am i correct?

sounds like horse i don't like it. thats my opinion though

[Enedok]

norse is the name of that Nordic god. Am i correct?

Err, no. Norse is what the religion is called, its not a god.

Etc the name of the norse gods is Odin, Thor, Frøya, Loke and many others.

And I must admit I did not understand what Norse was. I call it Norrønt :P

[Unknown Kaze]

It would be cool if they could call him Hiwa or something along those lines. *Hiwa means Secret or secret story btw*

[Kitmitsu]

And I must admit I did not understand what Norse was. I call it Norrønt :P

Crazy Viking :P

I really can't imagine what his name could be...Nox sounds alright but to be honest anything is better than Lightning. Lets hope we get used to that.

[Misschoco]

Err, no. Norse is what the religion is called, its not a god.

Etc the name of the norse gods is Odin, Thor, Frøya, Loke and many others.

thats what i thought after;) i got confused\

^^ iv already gotten used to lightning, they might give versus guy a weather name in japanese

[Anima]

Maybe it'll be opposite to what he looks like.? Liiike maybe....Helios. Which means Sun in Greek. Ya know a name thats all bright and sunny compared to his "I'll kill you if you touch me" look and dark gloomy clothing XD

[SinirothXIII]

Hey I'm not sure what his name is, but I seen a few people call him Storm earlier on another site. We're these people just speculating and/or talking out of their ass? Or did I miss something?

If you want to see what I mean here is the page off of YouTube underneath the trailer where several people mention the name "Storm".

So, from what I've seen, nothing is confirmed, but many people were mentioning the name so it just got me wondering. Also, it would make sense...Storm/Lightning. But that could also be where people just pulled it out of nowhere. I'm not sure.


EDIT:

also, here's some more on the matter of the name...

On FinalFantasy13.org:
"According to information from December 2006's Jump Festa, his name may be Storm. " Source

Final-Fantasy-13.com said "The name of the main character was actually said in the radio broadcast, when he is sitting in the back of the car, in the Jump Festa trailer."

So these people seem to have heard that it's actually Storm. But I guess we won't know until some official release.

[Rekhyt]

Wouldn't it be random if the super cool, dark character with the depressing past was named Ted?

[Ringlets]

Or how ironic if, to fit with the weather names, he was called Sunshine

[Desi]

Wouldn't it be random if the super cool, dark character with the depressing past was named Ted?
Konami would sue because Suikoden owns the "super cool dark character with a depressing past" named Ted.

[Misschoco]

That would be such a cool real name for Lightning spelt like that and everything. lol

As for the guy in Versus do you actually think they will name him? he may just be nameless? and then you only find out his name or something like at the end of the game? but i dont see them doing something similar in both FFXIII AND Versus.

Josh x
which would basically make a lot of ff fans angry, i mean really could you handle not knowing his name>i would go mad, how would you call him 'oi' lol

[Kätharina]

I wouldn't mind him not having a name or like finding out his name, or giving himself a name like "The past is bleak in my mind, its time to move on into a future that doesn't depend on supremecey my royale name maybe dedicated to the throne, but i know my true name, that she gave to me, a name that has no meaning. Zander."

Haha Zander. doesn't suit him.
Ohh god what i wrote sounds a tad awesome.
Cool. my english is improving, GO ENGLISH REVISION!! :dance:

[Flint]

Final-Fantasy-13.com said "The name of the main character was actually said in the radio broadcast, when he is sitting in the back of the car, in the Jump Festa trailer."

Has anyone actually seen this trailer?

Or have a transcript of the dialogue where his name is apparently said?

[Momo]

Wasntthe Jump Festa Trailer, a closed theater; if so then I havent seen the trailer for viewing anyways just a description in some articles on line. >_<

[Kitmitsu]

Sorry there isn't any transcripts of the trailer :/ The people who attended Jump Festa and saw the trailer are the only people who know his name, then again it was just a random name people might not remember as it was only later revealed in an interview with Nomura that it was his. >_<

[SinirothXIII]

Sooo.....the name confirmed? Or no?

[Kätharina]

Damn, i so would of wanted to read the transcripts.
Shame nobody recorded them, but i think it would be prohibited to even bring camera's or voice recording equiptment, which explains the leaked images of Blondie boy and his funkadelic bike. (;))

[Kitmitsu]

I really do wish someone did sneak a camera in. People managed to do it when Advent Children was being previewed in these closed mega theatres. I suppose they've increased security or maybe people aren't as interested in FFXIII as Advent Children.

Oh and no we don't have any confirmed names yet.

[Passion]

I heard a rumour a while back that he could possibly be called Storm - in contrast to XIII's Lightning. Of which I was not very fond of.

I didn't like Lightning at first but have come to be rather fond of it; but Storm? I don't think so.

[Flint]

I really do wish someone did sneak a camera in. People managed to do it when Advent Children was being previewed in these closed mega theatres. I suppose they've increased security or maybe people aren't as interested in FFXIII as Advent Children.

What annoys me is that it's us, the FF fans that have supported the series for years who are being denied seeing the footage of the game. I mean, we're the ones who will actually be buying it, not the journalists who will doubtless just blag free copies. I can't understand why Square don't want us to see the footage. Why haven't they released the trailers to the websites?

You would have thought at least one person would have taken in a notepad and just written down the dialogue in the trailer, especially if it really did reveal the lead character's name.

[Kätharina]

Makes you wonder.
But maybe its just one of those things nobody really thought of at the time.
could of been due to the fact since there was no narration or speech apart from writen sentences, maybe nobody really expected there to be any in the next trailer.

[Ringlets]

Why does this be secretive? What do they gain from keeping it a secret. They would atract more market attention if they made these videos public

[Momo]

Hard to say what they are thinking, guess we need to be patient ><

[Ringlets]

I play fast action video games on snail-slow RAM. My patience is dead and buried

[Momo]

Damn ><

[Ringlets]

Yea i ordered 512meg more ram. Dunno if it'll do the trick for s.t.a.l.k.e.r though. might be able to run it on low...

[Kitmitsu]

Shush you Ringlets and get back on topic :P (lol your PC sucks)

I think if I was making a game like this I'd like to keep it mysterious. Obviously it annoys the fans a little but the suspense at leasts gives you something to look forward to.

[Ringlets]

I know *cries*. I call him Bill. He sucks. In abilities...(mmmyes naughty thoughts)

I hate secrets. Like the PSP2. No one even knows about it here because of publicity,. but i go to the Sony HQ in New York and they've got posters everywhere. Sure, they're bland (just a black poster with PSP2 written on it) but its better then nothing.

[Momo]

kitmitsu, does have a point, we'll be able to be plese6tly surprised.

[Lifrasthir]

What about Audric? It's Old German for "Noble Ruler". Or Varian. Hm...Brendis? I find that really uncommon names are the ones that attract me the most. So I'm hopping that if they do go with a name that has to do with an element, like Cloud's, Squall's, and Tidus's name, that it be a cool element. Storm or maybe Raine/Rayne. I saw somewhere on this thread that he should be the opposite of Lightning. And for some reason I immediately thought of Thunder. But whatever, Square Enix shall surprise us all.

[Neal]

If they named him Thunder I would never buy another Final Fantasy or Square Enix related product of any kind ever again.

[Lifrasthir]

If they named him Thunder I would never buy another Final Fantasy or Square Enix related product of any kind ever again.

Lol. Same here. But what if it sounded cool? Like it was in latin or something?

[MillionSwords277]

i heard somewhere that his name is Storm. To me, that is the STUPIDEST name i have ever heard for a final fantasy character (well...cloud was...nvm that!) but it still is apropriate.

[Lifrasthir]

i heard somewhere that his name is Storm. To me, that is the STUPIDEST name i have ever heard for a final fantasy character (well...cloud was...nvm that!) but it still is apropriate.

Well, like Lightning's name, Storm could just be a codename of some kind to hide the character's real name.

[Kätharina]

Ahh that would kinda suck, being the fact that Lighting isn't her real name, so two codenames seems a bit lacking in imagination.

Storm is a good name for him, it does actually fit.
If you look at the character and placed a name on him Storm fits his catagorie in some respects.

[Lifrasthir]

Yeah you're right. Having two people use codenames seems a bit tacky.

[Kätharina]

I've actualyl grown to him being called Storm so ill be a little sad if that actually isn't his name.

At first i thought ;) "WHACK NAME!!11!!!!!1!!1111!" *punches keyboard*
But i quite fancye the name now. :)

[Firewolf]

Sutomu maybe his name

[Neal]

Random as fuck. O-o

[Nero Seraph]

i think go to be something to with the weather like the other but he might mix up the word

[Lifrasthir]

Square Enix likes their weather. :D

[Askyria]

I don't really want it to be 'Storm', sounds too generic, though I guess it fits him.

[yukichi]

maybe he is going to be called Rainbow D8

well, i hope it isnt Storm his nick nor his real name XD i dont like that word HAuAhuAhUAh dont like Lightning either >_< they used to pick up better weather names IMO huhuhuhu ^^"

[Lifrasthir]

maybe he is going to be called Rainbow D8

well, i hope it isnt Storm his nick nor his real name XD i dont like that word HAuAhuAhUAh dont like Lightning either >_< they used to pick up better weather names IMO huhuhuhu ^^"

I've grown fond of the name Lightning. When I told someone earlier today they were like, "Who the hell names their kid Lightning." :'(

I just hope that whatever they name the dude, his name isn't cheesy like Squall. :lol:

[yukichi]

HAuhAuhUahUahuA the first icon you used made me smile HAuhauahuA

maybe when we start playing we'll get used to any name they chose!!
Like now, when i think on the name Tidus i imagine a tanned surfer!! Totally used to that name!!! D8

and well... Lightning isnt that bad...Storm for a guy is bad!! because XMEN STORM IS A WOMAN!! HAuahahu not that it cant be a guy's name XD damn its weather!!

[Lifrasthir]

HAuhAuhUahUahuA the first icon you used made me smile HAuhauahuA

Really it did? ^_^ Coolio.

Tidus does remind me of a tanned surfer! :lol: I like the codename Lightning but I do hope they give her a cool name.

Yeah I was kind of wondering about that too. When I did a search on Storm it came up with XMEN's Storm. :ohmy: Like I said earlier, Square Enix likes their weather!

[Nero Seraph]

i just hope that they don't just call him storm it would be better if they mess up the word a little bit.

[XwingsofaresX]

maybe i would choose nox or any of my replies in any previous pages of this thread.:lol: ^_^

[Askyria]

I think I'm actually getting used to the name Storm, if they do name him that. It really fits him.

[Rikku]

Well, I'm a little disappointed. It's really normal. Plus it was taken by Xmen, as my sister puts it. xD

But really, at this point, I hope his name is storm. Otherwise my sig and av = screwed. XD

[Askyria]

Well, I'm a little disappointed. It's really normal. Plus it was taken by Xmen, as my sister puts it. xD

Lol, that's okay, I saved the .psd file of the avatar. XD

[Rikku]

Sweet. XD Good thing I saved a psd of the signature too.

Actually, Storm's name cracks me up sometimes because on some levels, it's a synonym to 'Squall'.

[Misschoco]

its simple to figure out his name...............


we just need the second trailer and listen out for his name in the radio broadcast.
patience is a virtue

[Sorrow]

Square Enix 2007. A new video from Final Fantasy 13 and Versus 13. It is worth to wait... I think his name will be Nightmare or Sorrow though...

[Misschoco]

nightmare wouldnt really count as a name ;)

[Kätharina]

Im not botherd as long as it doesn't make his apearance seem different (i.e. girly, camp, or not suit him) im not homophobic but i hate it when square give their characters the most pathetic, unimaginative names in the universe, lets hope its something better than a description for a bolt of electricity. ;)

PS. Im kinda stuck to Storm anyway now, since he has been branded that name by most people until further notice, ill always think of him as Storm, even dispite the fact it lacks imagination aswell, it does suit him in a way.
but mind you i hated it at first, now im stuck to it, names grow on ya. xD

[Misschoco]

names you either love em or you hate em

iv kinda gotten used to storm as well

[Askyria]

Yeah, I've gotten used to Storm too. If he gets named something else then I think I'd be kinda disappointed.

[Hitoshura]

Why name him Storm? When theres so many others they could name him.

[Lifrasthir]

.....I've got a baby book here handy beside the computer...want me to list all the boy names off?

[Hitoshura]

eh...nevermind. I just dont like that name. Its just.....meh......


Then again, one of the most popular characters in FF (my fav) is named "Cloud." So if they have similaraties, I'll accept it. :)

[Askyria]

.....I've got a baby book here handy beside the computer...want me to list all the boy names off?

...

May I ask why you happen to have a baby book around? :0000

-cough-

back back to the topic.............

i like the name tork

[Tzailor-muun]

I really hope his name isn´t bad and cheesy, and that it has some kind of secret and smart little meaning to it that square does so well with their names (usually).

[ozonez]

omg his name has been released:


In a recent interview with Toriyama, the mysterious bandana wielding man's name has finally been revealed. In a shock surprise, Toriyama was asked what the characters name would be and to our surprise he answered. The characters name will be PWNZORS. PWNZORS will be Lightnings arch nemesis. Toriyama also drew right infront of us, the enemy of the game. This enemy will be Lightnings true enemy from her past. Here is the picture along with the name:

DUCKROLL

http://www.ozonez.net/images/Duckroll.jpg

[Tzailor-muun]

Wow, that´s an odd and original name. And duckroll seems interesting too! Wow... But hey, were talking about the character for Versus, not XIII!

[ozonez]

yeh its the same guy. He gets plastic surgery, changes his hair color and and shrinks a bit in versus.

Should know these thinks you know.

[Angel of Darkness]

[Mad_Hatter]

Well, "Clyde" is a great name ^^ It suits him
Uhm... I think his name should have something to do with his eyes' colour : crimson.

I would call him "Ivelard" ^^ ("Ive-" = ice)

Oh... I hope his name is not gonna be something like..."Blood" TT__TT That's the only name that I hate. I don't mind "Cloud" or "Lightning"...

I don't like the name "Storm" because it always reminds me of the character "Storm" in X-Men who is a WOMAN!

[Hitoshura]

*sigh*

Clyde is a cool name but its already taken by a character from FF6.

[Mad_Hatter]

*sigh*

Clyde is a cool name but its already taken by a character from FF6.

Seriously???? arg! That's so bad :'(

[Lifrasthir]

hmm they dont hit the right note like the names dalziel and storm does

..Yeah you're right...I'll look around some more.

[Mad_Hatter]

Dalziel? It sounds like the name of the Vampire King in the japanese comic "Vampire Game" XD
I don't like it TT___TT

DEFINATELY NOT STORM!!!

[Misschoco]

storms good!!! i'v goten pretty much used to it.

if not dalziel then erm............il check

[Lucrecia]

Storm isn't that bad of a name because it looks like it would suite his charcter, but it reminds me of X-Men and I don't even watch the movie. Besides, after other names that have been in the Final Fantasy series (Cloud, Squall, Tidus, Ashe, etc) it doesn't surprise me at all if they call the character Storm.

i'v goten used to the name storm

anyways they could name his name in Okinawan dialect like sora (i think)

[Lucrecia]

If they name him something from Okinawan dialect that wouldn't be that bad either. As long as it's a cool name which fits his personality and character then I don't mind. I know that Nomura will come up with something cool, though, like he always does in his fantastic games.

Well, aslo Lightning is just a temporary name because it isn't her actual name. We may find out what her real name is when the game comes out.

[Lifrasthir]

Wow, I never thought someone could get so excited over a baby name book.

[Lifrasthir]

yup TF.....the great and wonderous dalziel

*points* OMG! The 734th post!
zomg :ninja:

[Lucrecia]

Halfway through the game!?i'd like to learn out about her real name sooner. However....I'm fine with Lightning. It's cool.

[Hitoshura]

Were talkin about the blue-haired guy here d00d. >.>

[Terros]

For some reason the name Ryu (or it could be spelled Ryuu) seems to fit him to me. But I know him as Storm for now.

[Lucrecia]

For some reason the name Ryu (or it could be spelled Ryuu) seems to fit him to me. But I know him as Storm for now.

Ryu? I honestly don't know. But I know of a site where you could find names of all kinds of cultures and languages. Baby 123...or 123 baby? I have no idea. I just know it has tons of names and I might go check that out soon.

[Terros]

Well that's just my opinion, we'll have to wait and see, but I wonder why they won't release his name yet...it's really bugging me!

[Misschoco]

Well that's just my opinion, we'll have to wait and see, but I wonder why they won't release his name yet...it's really bugging me!
his name is revealed in the radio broadcast in the second trailer.........

...........but oh my thats not released yet either :nag:

[Lifrasthir]

:ohmy:.................

Lucrecia just put my baby names book outta buisness!

[Terros]

THIS SUCKS!! I don't wait anymore, when are gonna the the blasted trailer that has his name!!? Anyone know when it's supposed to be released?

[Lucrecia]

:ohmy:.................

Lucrecia just put my baby names book outta buisness!

I did?

[Lifrasthir]

Yeah, when you told the peoples about the online baby book.

[Lucrecia]

THIS SUCKS!! I don't wait anymore, when are gonna the the blasted trailer that has his name!!? Anyone know when it's supposed to be released?

I have no idea, but I hope they post it soon. And hopefully the radio broadcast is in english otherwise it'll take forever to get his name.

[Lucrecia]

Yeah, when you told the peoples about the online baby book.

Oh okay I feel stupid. In fact I'm going to go check the site out now.

[Terros]

It probably WILL be in Japanese, and we'll have to wait for some one to translate it...

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

I hope in the next trailer, there will be some dialogue... I'm dying to hear his voice :lol:

[Terros]

Me too, I think his voice will be dark, but not real deep because he as a young appearance...but I could be wrong, you never really know....

[Lucrecia]

Yeah I hope there's some dialogue too. But i think from what I read about the trailer that there wasn't any talking from him. Only the radio broadcaster and fighting scenes.

[Misschoco]

Yeah I hope there's some dialogue too. But i think from what I read about the trailer that there wasn't any talking from him. Only the radio broadcaster and fighting scenes.
.............the radio broadcast which reveals his name :)

im trying to visualize his voice at the moment

[Lucrecia]

.............the radio broadcast which reveals his name :)

im trying to visualize his voice at the moment

Yeah I hope his voice turns out okay. And I'd like to hear that broadcast to find out what his name is. The trailer better come out soon.........

[Terros]

Knowing Square they'll torture us until people start sending death threats! XD

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Knowing Square they'll torture us until people start sending death threats! XD

Curse Square! *starts the death threats right away*

[Terros]

Well that may help....

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

:blink: *Is afraid of been sued*

[Lifrasthir]

.......Really?.....You're gunna get sued XxFeexX?

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

.......Really?.....You're gunna get sued XxFeexX?

O.o *hides the death threat under a desk*

[Shinshoku]

Ahh good, this thread has turned to spam.

I was afraid that it was 204 posts of serious discussion.. about a name.

But honestly, his name is clearly lucifer_666123.

[Terros]

Uh....lets hope not...

[Misschoco]

But honestly, his name is clearly lucifer_666123.
well unless his a robot then thats name is rather stupid ;)

[Terros]

I'll have to agree with that...dumb name.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

But honestly, his name is clearly lucifer_666123.

Wha--? I'd kill myself and sue Square if they really stuck him with that name :nag:

[Terros]

Wha--? I'd kill myself and sue Square if they really stuck him with that name :nag:
My thoughts exactly.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

My thoughts exactly.

STORM! STORM! STORM! :lol:

[Terros]

Yes, that name works. Plus I wouldn't by a game in which the character is named Lucifer...blah blah.

[Misschoco]

Yes, that name works. Plus I wouldn't by a game in which the character is named Lucifer...blah blah.

OH NO NO NO lucifer???? i'd kill my self

well said terros i wouldn't play the game

lucrecia was plan annoying and giving him a name with lu.. at the beginning like lucrecias would push me over the edge

*protests outside square hq* storm storm storm

[Terros]

With everyday that passes, I like Storm more and more, I'll be sad if that's not it.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

With everyday that passes, I like Storm more and more, I'll be sad if that's not it.

Or maybe it could something more unique... NoOOOOOOO, not the Lu666123 thing :blink:

But Storm is pretty good, cause there's not hassle in spelling it :rolleyes:

[Lucrecia]

Or maybe it could something more unique... NoOOOOOOO, not the Lu666123 thing :blink:

But Storm is pretty good, cause there's not hassle in spelling it :rolleyes:

I agree with you. At first the name reminded me of that one person from X-Men and I've always thought of that movie being odd. But now I've grown to it. It had better be the name Storm or something better. Otherwise, well...who knows.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

I agree with you. At first the name reminded me of that one person from X-Men and I've always thought of that movie being odd. But now I've grown to it. It had better be the name Storm or something better. Otherwise, well...who knows.

Oh yeah! There is a person called Storm in X-men! No wonder it sounds familar :blink:

[Misschoco]

I agree with you. At first the name reminded me of that one person from X-Men and I've always thought of that movie being odd. But now I've grown to it. It had better be the name Storm or something better. Otherwise, well...who knows.
x-men was cool but it made me really wish i had mutant powers :rolleyes:

storm-theres no other name i can think of that suits him

[Lucrecia]

x-men was cool but it made me really wish i had mutant powers :rolleyes:

storm-theres no other name i can think of that suits him

Yes that's the problem with the movie. It makes you wish you had powers. And yeah I can't think of any other name than Storm.......yeah I can't think of anything.

[Desi]

Yes that's the problem with the movie.
You only know about X-men from the movie?

[Misschoco]

Yes that's the problem with the movie. It makes you wish you had powers.
:'(


what about the name Tora although storm is cool its just a suggestion

[Lucrecia]

You only know about X-men from the movie?

No I had heard about it before the movies came out.

:'(


what about the name Tora although storm is cool its just a suggestion

Tora? Hmmm, that's not that bad.

[Misschoco]

Tora? Hmmm, that's not that bad.

.......we could be getting somewhere here :shifty:

[Lucrecia]

.......we could be getting somewhere here :shifty:

*Goes surfing the internet for names*

[Misschoco]

*Goes surfing the internet for names*

*waits for TF and her magical baby names book*

[Lucrecia]

I found some names, but I'm not sure if the names will suite the character very well.

1)daren
2)reo/reon
3)rosu
4)jito
5)taro
....however, Tora sounds cool too. I might go with Tora.:D

[Lifrasthir]

*waits for TF and her magical baby names book*

I don't have anything!!! :'( Well, I've only gotten to the n's in the book...*picks it up and reads*

[Terros]

I still like Ryuu...I believe it means Dragon, and it would make sense since there is a dragon type creature on the versus logo.

[Lifrasthir]

Furtună, Vijelie, Vifor, Vânt, Aclamaţie, Freamăt, Asalt, Atac, Asalta, Dezlănţui

Those are all Romanian...

[Lucrecia]

Furtună, Vijelie, Vifor, Vânt, Aclamaţie, Freamăt, Asalt, Atac, Asalta, Dezlănţui

Those are all Romanian...

Vifor sounds okay. And uh how big is this baby book of yours because it sounds like there is a lot of names.

[Terros]

Ryuu, Ryuu! C'mon peeps it's good one!

[Lifrasthir]

Vifor sounds okay. And uh how big is this baby book of yours because it sounds like there is a lot of names.

Actually that was from an English to Romanian online translator.

[Lucrecia]

Ryuu, Ryuu! C'mon peeps it's good one!

Okay. Ryuu does sound cool too.

[Lucrecia]

Actually that was from an English to Romanian online translator.

Oh okay. Didn't know that.

[Terros]

Ryuu just makes sense to me, why? Because there's a dragon on the logo, Ryuu means dragon, the main character could be personified as a dragon on the logo, or it's a characterization of his personality.

[Lucrecia]

Ryuu just makes sense to me, why? Because there's a dragon on the logo, Ryuu means dragon, the main character could be personified as a dragon on the logo, or it's a characterization of his personality.

Maybe he can turn into a dragon with the power of the crystal?It's just a thought.

[Lifrasthir]

Maybe he can turn into a dragon with the power of the crystal?It's just a thought.

That sounds real cheesy to me....

[Terros]

Turning is possible, but I think it's more metaphorical....

[Lucrecia]

That sounds real cheesy to me....

Yeah, I agree. It just occured to me. If he actually turned into a dragon then that would probably ruin the game.

[Terros]

Indeed.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

My brother thinks the game is too "fantasized" with the telekinetic power and such, if they add the changing-into-a-dragon thing, someone's going to blow

[Terros]

True, true, but it is called Final Fantasy after all....fantasy is in it's name. So one can't expect it to be too real.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Or too fake as a matter of fact, but I like fantasy stuff, it makes everything jolly and special and awesome :P

[Terros]

Yes it does.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

But I still think the metamorphosis theory was really cool, a little pushy, but cool :rolleyes:

[Lucrecia]

But I still think the metamorphosis theory was really cool, a little pushy, but cool :rolleyes:

It does sound cool, but like you said too pushy. I think it would overdo the game.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

I wonder if you can use Storm as a playable character, I mean, they made him so strong in the trailer....

[Terros]

He probably will be playable, though it is possible that you may not start off as him.

[Misschoco]

I wonder if you can use Storm as a playable character, I mean, they made him so strong in the trailer....
his the main character

so........

yes he definitely is playable :rolleyes:
