Defaults.

Why name Characters, you always regret it...

Originality FTW

In most final fantasies (and Rpgs) I usually choose one character (usually the quietest, smartest, angriest who is not the main character) to represent myself and then name him appropriatly and then use him as the 'party leader'. I chose Leon. (Imagine my surprise when he disapeared for most of the game and then returned as a villian, kickass).

I kept them their actual names; Firion, Maria, Guy, Leon.

All defaults. It makes it simpler.

I thought the default names were the most hideous things ever. Even worse than FF5's "Butz".

Firion became Rynn.
Maria became Inala.
Guy became Mel.
Leon became Ekinu.

Hmmm, I had always thought you couldn't change the names of your characters in this game. Oh well, I've boughten the game but haven't gotten to playing it yet, I'll no doubt keep the default character names though.

Well, the defaults aren't so much defaults as they are commonly accepted names. They aren't already laid out like the names in FF4 or FF6. You still have total control over the naming process (at least in the NES version. I assume the same is true in the newer ones). Since FF2 is the first FF with an actual storyline, though, people use those names to make it easier to explain.

If you're playing the game with a walkthrough, the defaults might be helpful. But if you're tackling the Empire alone, then by all means, spice things up.
