Poll
I like the idea of fighting Larvin.
I also think Rad should be renamed ZodiacFFTM
Hmm... perhaps every character in the game could get a new name! If someone does that, please name every mindflare in the entire game "bastardpoetry." Red suits me, and I'd love it if every time someone saw bastardpoetry, they'd go, "OH HELL! There's a bastardpoetry. Gotta kill that one quick!"

I think it would be nice to change some of the names the generics you meet and hire to some people of the forum...
the names are stored in 3 (if my memory serves me well) different places, and just changing the hex number's of the letters can make you change them...
Propose some names too.
i wouldn't mind kicking some black mage philsov ass someday

Lightning Bolt!
Wait, it's already there...
How about Rostropovitch for a guy's name?
I named my D2 Pally like that way back then... the dictionary is a treasure for good names!

I'd likely change them to names from a random generator. I think there's some that do Fantasy or European names.
Some of the ones in the FFT list are kinda weird, it would be nice to be able to replace them.

It would be VERY cool to replace some of the random names with veterans of the FFT board...
Heck, you could also include the names of some of the more infamous people, just so we can kick the crap out of 'em!

I just realized, I wish we could have different lists for like, classes. So we could have all Samurai and Ninja have random Japanese names, but Knights would have European names.
I know that's not possible, but man it would be cool.

It's probably like...
Males:
...
..
.
Females:
...
..
.
Monsters:
...
..
.
So, I doubt we could do it for each class.
Or maybe it's tied to the sprite (like lots of stuff on FFT)... The travestile TM on DD, is what name does it has?

I think I've seen it before, although I don't remember where. I'm almost positive it's Male/Female/Monster.

I would've suggested Vincent, but its already there...
What is in the current pool?
Ivan, Ishtar, Levin, Reyson, and Nutella. Random Generated names aren't really that important though. I would like to see Wiglaf in place of Wiegraf, assuming people haven't gotten too attached to that name.

ZOdiac, i'm wondering if beside changing random names, we can make it so that all humans are flagged as monsters, so that you can change char's names as much as you want....

Uh, I'll have to look into that. I doubt the monster flag is used only for that. Y'know, you might not be able to change job with that character after that. ;/

I think it's a unisex name.
Like, we know Jean-Claude Van Damme (male), Jean Grey (female), Jean-Jacques Rousseau (male), Jean Merilyn Simmons (female) and so on...

Quote from: "Wikipedia"Jean is a common female given name in English-speaking countries, pronounced /dʒi:n/ (IPA). It is the Scottish form of Jane (and is sometimes pronounced that way); both names derive from the Old French Jehanne (equivalent to Johanna/Joanna/Joanne/Joan). In French-speaking countries, Jean is a male name, roughly pronounced /ʒɑ̃/ (IPA), and cognate with English John.

Well I never thought it was actually used as a name in English. but I can tell for sure that in French Jean is guys exclusive. Jeanne for girls. They sound surprisingly different though.

How about using some old FF or rpg names? i.e. Sabin, Celes, Kain, Cecil, Butz, Link, Ragnar, Cristo, Brey.
