This went over okay with Final Fantasy. So I'll try it here.

Since I have too much spare time and can't spend it on the computer, I'm gonna give FF IV a shot again. So let's personalize the party a bit.

*If you want a character named after you, post the character and the name you want. 6 letters max. Cecil is already spoken for (of course). I'll go to the Namingway at the first opportunity and rename them.
*First person to call it gets it. Stupid names will be ignored. The name should identify you or your handle in some way, please.
*You only get to name one person.
*The first person to break the rules gets their name assigned to Edward. If someone else does it...I dunno. I'll figure something out.
*If some people don't get names, I'll fill them in later with whoever comes to mind.

I won't be recording this, I'm playing it on PS2. But I will keep people appraised of my situation if there's enough interest. I'll probably start later tonight.

The characters in the game:

Cecil - Satsui
Kain - BMan (Mr. Bomberman)
Rosa - Ruthee (My wife. She would accept nobody else as the love interest.)
Rydia - Nekoru
Tellah - Doc (Docinsano)
Edward - Arlock
Yang - Josh (joshwoodzell)
Palom - Fernin
Porum - Hawk (SoldierHawk)
Cid - Syd
Edge - Gish (GPFontaine)
FoSoYa - Lava (Lavalarva)

Ah, the classic oriental name, Josh. Signed up.

Bomberman called dibs on Kain from the chat, so he snatched that plum up.

Seats are filling up faster than I thought they would.

Quote:

Syd should be Cid. Like, duh.

Works for me. But he really should sign himself up.

Fernin wrote:

I call Palom! Using the name Fernin, of course. ...Assuming I remember right, and he's the male twin.

You did, and signed up.

Quote:

Syd is currently unable to post.

You'll have to let him out of that meat locker sometime.

I don't know much about the game, but I'll participate anyway. My name would be Lava or Shyguy (avatar). Just assign me to the one you think would fit best. From what I've read, that would be either FoSoYa (FySoYa?) or Edward. Who is Tellah and why isn't he listed? You can't change his name?

You don't want Edward.

And I accidently deleted Tellah earlier. I'll put him back up.

Docinsano called Tellah in the chat.

My wife has decided that she gets to be the love interest Rosa, but mostly to keep myself from having a torrid affair with Douche or something.

This leaves the hyper-polite female white mage Porum and the hyper-pussy Edward. Someone must like Eddie out there, though.

I'll be Edward -_-

...and your name is?

Way to completely not pay attention. Just like you.

It's supposed to reference your handle, but since you've used a fuckton of them, I need to know which one to use.

The adventure has begun. And so far, not a lot has happened.

*I almost suffered some serious humiliation as the damn Mist Dragon almost killed Satsui and BMan, but otherwise, no real problems.
*The soldiers were taken out with absolutely no problem.
*During the Octomamm battle, Satsui and Nekoru pretty much destroyed the thing with attacks and Chocobos, while Doc spent his time remembering forgotten spells like Toad and Stone.
*The part is just before Damcyan, party is Satsui, Nekoru, and Doc, 1:04 in.

How do you almost lose to the Mist Dragon?

Showing up with less than full HP and attacking into the Mist 4 times total.
