Red XIII.....?

Iv always wondered why, when In the ShinRa HQ and you rescue Red XIII he says he was named Red XIII by Hojo & you can call him what you wish.... Why didn't he just say he had the name Nanaki??

Hmm, they didn't really explain why. I don't think there's really any special reason behind the whole matter either. It just so happens that Square decided to use Red XIII as the primary name for him.

But if there is any reason, then I think that it has to do with his shame of being Seto's son, therefore the name Nanaki didn't appeal to him anymore. Who knows?

It was probably because he was used to people calling him what they wished. I don't really know

Maybe ... he was ashamed of being Seto's son. So he got used to being called Red XIII in his time at Shinra and told the gang to call him what he wanted.

Was ther any mention to how long ShinRa held him for? I just assumed they'd captured him about the same time they caught Aeris as they were both gunna be cloned at the same time

It wasn't until after he found out that Seto did a great thing that he told people he was named Nanaki. He didn't embrace the until then so he didn't really have a name untill hojo named him Red XIII. You think there were 12 other 'Reds'

No, there were twelve other 'Sephiroths'.

Well they were suppose to be clones that could become Seph and only one that did what it was suppose to do was Cloud who in the end beats crap out of Seph.

Yes. They all turned out to be successes. However, Cloud was a failure and yet had the power to defeat the real Sephiroth.

Hojo wanted to breed both Aeris and Red XIII because they were two different species. He knew what breed Aeris was, but may not have known what breed Red is. It's not really revealed, but we refer to him as a lion type creature.

He named him Red because of his fur and XIII because he was the thirteenth experiment before Aeris.

That's why I think it's come to be known that he's known as Red XIII.
