“What’s your name? Idk sounds like shit my bro will pick you a better name.” Wtf
This is the correct thing to do.
Everyone in Chrono Trigger gets their real name in my playthroughs
mild spoilers
Chrono = Chrono
Lucca = Lucca
Frog = Glenn
Marle = Nadia
Robo = R66-Y
Ayla = Ayla
Magus = Janus
The main character’s name is “Crono” in the English release due to the 5 character limit on character names.
Ah, the missing ‘h’. Maybe I haven’t had enough sleep, but at first I thought you were saying he’s supposed to be named something else entirely.
(For the curious, his untranslated name is クロノ, ‘Kurono’, which is about as close to Chrono/Crono as you can get in Japanese.)
Doing this in FF7 leads to some real confusing dialog.
“Where’s Nanaki going?”
“Who the heck is Nanaki?”
“Nanaki is Nanaki!”
I vividly remember doing this, and that dialog box, and not remembering if it’s the character being a dick or if I did it to myself.
I usually name every character in such games because I like that it makes my playthrough slightly more unique. I’m surprised that Crono and Lucca have their original names though (the screenshots aren’t particularly fresh). But given that I gave Marle such a lame name I guess I wasn’t feeling creative back then…
My favorite game of all time.
It certainly would have been funnier had Square put in some code that recognized you did this and had them respond along the lines of, “are you fucking with me?”
I was a little bit disappointed that there wasn’t any special reaction. Modern indie games spoiled me too much!
In at least one other place in the script his serial number is R-66Y instead.
I loove this remix of robo’s theme song, which cleverly features this as a lyric.
