Comment unfortunate monikers (Score 1) 229
I'll admit, in my final fantasy career i have enjoyed using many monikers in this vein, calling my heroes such comedy names as SockCukka... it just makes the dialogue funnier for those of twisted mind. Especially the cheesy romantic scenes: 'How have I lived so long without a SockCukka in my life?!'
But just like the bloke Keith in the article, I would always leave the names of the summon monsters as they were, because they often had mythological meaning and great names, like Quetzacotl the Aztec feathered serpent-god.
In FF8 however, i didn't realise that you were actually naming the final boss halfway through when a seemingly irrelevant scene asks you to give a name to the monster on Rinoa's silver ring. It was a late night gaming sesh and i couldn't be bothered to think too long about the name i was giving it. Imagine my horror then, when in the final scene I was confronted with the ultimate boss, the scourge of the planet, a name before which everyone would quake... the demon 'Ringy'.
