I already made a similar topic for PSII, but in games other than those in the Phantasy Star series, do you ever change the names of characters when the games let you? If so, what are some of the names you use?
Sometimes I change the names and sometimes I don't. In SNES games like Chrono Trigger, I usually did change them. I often used the names of friends or characters from books I've read. Sometimes I would just make up a name on the spot.
I really liked the approach some of the Wild Arms games use. They have an item you can buy to change the name of pretty much anything or person in the whole game!
