Title: A good Rpg name
Post by: cade11 on January 20, 2009, 12:33:05 am
I'm trying to start my own rpg game but I don't know of a good name.

"Past" was one but I don't like it.

What sort of RPG?
Setting, context, etc.
Title:
Post by: cade11 on January 20, 2009, 07:03:28 pm
The RPG has a final fantasy feel (magic, summons, travel the galaxy). The setting is that the planet the main character lives is always at war and only way to survive is to have either money, being a high-ranked officer or some part of royalty.

"The adventures of super-secret galaxy-fantasy man: Now with 100% more secret-fantasy-galaxies!"

Ok.   Serious now.  I hate games that have "cool" names, but have little or nothing to do with the plot.  Don't call your game "Event Horizon" if it's about grooming puppies.  The final fantasy series is great, but if there is one thing to NOT take away from them, it's their naming convention.

Identify what central theme to the game(you already have) and expand upon that.  For instance, your plot seems to resolve around the struggle to gain personal wealth in order to survive, so having a title that expresses that struggle would work.  Hell, you can steal a title from one of the FFT chapters("The Meager" or just "Meager")[just examples, not suggestions] and it would at least give some sense of what the story is about.

This is all totally my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

rpg maker 3 has good graphics, but the mechanics suck. Rpgmaker two is much better.

Yea but I couldn't find 2 and I got 3 for ten bucks.

EDIT: That's ten bucks brand new at a game stop Christmas sale.

You can name your game after the setting of the game, the theme of the game, or a distinguishing factor of your characters.  All these are tried and true.

Post by: cade11 on January 22, 2009, 03:29:50 am
Like my ideas for the story deals with magic, monsters, space travel, different dimensions, summons, planets (in particular the sun) , ancient ruins, robots technology.

Post by: Kuraudo Sutoraifu on January 22, 2009, 01:50:45 pm
Aside from the sun not actually being a planet, how about something in reference to the sun like Solstice or Dark Solstice?

You said it wrong.  It's Quantum of Solace.  Her frustration was well founded.

It just seems odd to me, because it is almost like seconding your own idea.....which would cause a lot more ideas to appear on polls and what not.
