I usually name him Zidane.I'm not so creative with names but now I wanna name him Haseo but my sis got makeup all over disc1,2,and 3 on top of it she deleted data for disc 4...I wanted to name Haseo...oh well.

when i first played ff9 i kept their names, but next time i changed them:
zidane- milojko
garnet- aurora
eiko-malecka
stainer-zelimir


i forgot
freya-bosiljak
vivi-shityhead

this is a personal thing for me cause every game i play when u get to name ur characters i name them as myself because then i feel that you are more involved within the game.
i think that there shiould be a game like ff where they call you by ur name not the players name it would be wkd
mabey if they made a game where u decided the fate of one player and the game revoled around tht

I have always kept the names. But I do remember I named Steiner "Fireblade" I don't really remember why. But when he called himself Aldebert Fireblade I ditched that name for good, that just didn't sound right.

Nothing, I always use the default names for the characters.

Well I keep their names the same usually but the first time I played Final Fantasy IX I named the characters:

Zidane - Sesono
Vivi - BLK Mage
Steiner - Rusty (My friend talked about the game before I played it.)
Garnet - Sara (My friend told me her real name before I played it.)
Eiko - Gem
Quina - BLAH
Freya - Fantasia
Amarant - Ninja

I never change character names in Final fantasy.
So I kept him Zidane.
Its like when you get to name Garnet I didnt keep her as Dagger I named her Garnet again.

i called him theif one time and i named all the characters after their roles

I named him Zidane
