Makes a good point, but I never though of that actually I though more that Vivi's name was some sort of Roman numbers thing, you know, since he's created and so...so I though it would mean VIVI, in roman I think it makes seperated 6-6 or it can be 5-1-5-1....but since Squarenix kind of use allot of old Latin words and names I think the living one makes more sense....

In French, vivre = to live and life = la vie . Square likes to use Latin words in their names, so that is why it seems familiar to all Latin based languages (Spanish, Italian, French).

good discovery. it makes perfect sense as throughout the game vivi ponders his reason for living and where he came from. eventually he realizes that he wants to live. it all comes together.

Huh, good find indeed.
The whole time, I never really game much thought to his name and I fully agree that it goes along well with Vivi's character theme and story.

That's something else that I never knew, however I'm not surprised. It does go along with Vivi's story very well indeed.

When I read that off my worksheet I thought "OMG Final Fantasy is invading my life!". Then I thought "Hey, that's pretty cool."

i didn't know this  good find!
it makes sense though as it gives the meaning of Vivis name a meaning and a cruel Irony, since you say it means "to live" and Vivi doesn't...well
and i think SE gives most characters names a meaning, like Aerith Means Earth, and Yuna means moon (or something like that) im not surprised that they made Vivis name mean "to live"

I was only aware of the French term, Vivre. Ironically, that's precisely what I named Vivi. I didn't even know his back story beforehand.
