    Stick with the original names, although in Tactics I do have a couple of characters, an Archer and a summoner, named after me!

    Wow! I am really so suprised how many ppl keep the original names. I didn't think there would be so many more votes in that category. Nearly everyone I know in real life changes names in all games, whenever possible.

    Hey, I wonder who voted for Don't ask me I have a hangover????

    I gave Aeris the dumbest name ever. I named her what? because she said "My name is..." I now regret it because i cant under stand if my characters are saying her name or just plain what?

    well, I know you guys get sick of me always reviving old threads..BUT! There are hardly anything else I haven't already posted in. + Mabye some newbies would like to post in it too. I usually..*embarrasment* On FF7 I named myself (Cloud) Korn, Tifa I named Tiffany (after me), Aeries I named (Krisis), and the others I came up with something random. On FF8 I named myself Aj and Roina Tiffany..I know that's gay to name your characters off yourself and your boyfriend, but hem.

    Okay, time for an update since my last post in this thread. =P

    Nowadays, no matter what, the main lead male character is always Seto. Always. My brother calls me gay for doing it, but ya know, I like it. Not just because it's Seto Kaiba, but because it's actually a nice sounding name, period.

    Although it was confusing in FF7 when you find out about Red's dad, whose name is Seto. Creeped the crap out of me when I was scrolling through the walkthrough. ("You start talking about Seto...hang on a minute, what!? o_O How does the walkthrough know what I named Cloud? o_O")

    As for other characters...there hasn't been a FF game lately where you can name your characters...at least I don't think so. I have no idea if 12 does cause it's not out over here yet. ¬¬ But I think I'd leave them all the same now.

    My FF7 file tho, it looks like almost all the characters are renamed. (I can't remember all the names tho because it's been a while since I touched that file and I don't even know what my brother did with the game =/) but I know I didn't name Barret (couldn't think anything) or Vincent (cause. you. just. don't. You don't rename Vincent) It's possible I didn't rename Cid or Yuffie either, cause I can't think of what i called them for the life of me.
    Aerith was a little interesting tho. Since I started that file LONG ago (3 years ago or so I believe? Or maybe just two. Either way, smack dab in the middle of my YGO obsession) and I had Cloud as Seto, i gave her the name of an OC I had paired with Seto in a fic. Quite amusing since they actually acted in a way similar to those characters in the fanfic...especially at the scene where you dress Cloud as a girl. Har.
