His name may not sound good to one's ears, but Argath is so much better than Algus.

Batsu > Butz > Bartz

Tidus pronounced "Tie-dus" > Tidus pronounced "Tee-dus"
(Follows Cloud -> Squall -> Tidus better, too.)

Algath > Argath > Algus
(Sounds more medieval, too.)

The name "Argath" fits his role, sounds like a stuck up little boy, Algus on the other hand sounded like a captain of a ship or some such. Though names I do Not agree with are Gragoroth (Our beloved misunderstood Death Corps Knight, Golagros). Golagros sounds like a pious boy, who was fighting for a better tommorow. Though quick to anger and slightly unruly, even to superiors.

Gragoroth on the otherhand... sounds like a rotton blooded Ogre or some such, Definitely not the name of a human...
"Moment's anger can revert to joy,
sadness can be turned to delight.
A nation destroyed cannot be restored,
the dead brought back to life."

i dislike the re-translation 'Argath'
almost as m... well not quite but just as i do Aerith over Aeris..

i mean really, come on! the games been out for over 10 years and suddenly their names are different?

also Golgaros sounds much beter than gargamel or whatever

I think Algus is the name because its just is better name for him.
Algus=Noob

I think its makes perfect sense.
Algus sounds some stubid boy and Argath sounds like god.
So Algus
Upupupu...

i think it was just a name change but just in case google here i come

Edit: Nope i was wrong it was a merger but i stiil stand with my statement cause square alone made ff7 and after the merger they made crap like crystal chronicles

I agree. I guess they were trying to preserve name recognition for both sides.

well i dont think the name is bad its the quality of the games they make and im not saying square enix makes bad cause they make some good stuff like  Radiata Stories *which needs a sequel* but they haven't had the quality of FF 7-9 or tactics
