Another screenshot depicts a name choosing menu. I wrote R66-Y.

The last screenshot, with Nimmi reacting to the new name: "R66-Y... R66-Y... that's perfect!"

“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

      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.

        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.)

      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…

    I made a whole playthrough of Ocarina of Time just to see Nabooru say “Nabooru? What kind of name is that?”

    This reminded me of playing Saga Frontier. In that game you can be a robot, and there is a guy that always adds a G to the end of whatever you name the robot, if you choose to rename them.

    from the SG wiki:

    T260G is one of three characters who can be renamed at the beginning. However, a G will always be added to the end of the name, at Uncle Taco’s request.

    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?”

    In at least one other place in the script his serial number is R-66Y instead.
