(Nurse Fin's) Exciting Animal March: A First Look, Observations about the game Options

[Sammy Ryou]

I thought Sefia/Sephia was such a pretty-sounding name though. I'd be sad if they changed it because there's really no need. And to be honest, Ignis, while it doesn't have a great flow to it, does suit him...

I don't like the "Cefia" spelling all that much, but "Sephia" is very pretty. :] Like FoodAssassin said, though, I wouldn't be surprised if Natsume changed their names anyway. I guess I'm getting too caught up in thinking up possible names for them, heh.
Ignis is meh to me, but I could live with it I suppose.

well I guess I dont have problems with Cefia and Ignis... but theyre not my favorite. and I really have a hard time believing Natsume will keep them anyway.


I know Harley and Joker were a pair (cuz she was like obssesive over him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) ) but since Heath died im pretty sure that theyre not putting the Joker in the next one. (Nolan said so in an interview.)

I think she will too cuz of the whole. "Will it protect against dogs?" "It'll protect against cats." comment. I thought it would be funny if they got Danny DeVito to play the Penguin again in the new one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) But that would be more comedic than awesome as the last Batman was good at being.

mine too! surprisingly. cuz I never liked Batman as a kid or anything. I thought he was really lame.

Yeah. Right now there's really no chance of Harley being in a movie, at least until the next possible reboot...if and when that'll happen. T_T

I used to watch the old Batman cartoon from the 90's every now and then when I was younger, so that's probably at least part of the reason why I like it so much now.

Zeus also slept with a bunch of women, and in the original Hercules story it was Hera, not Hades, who tried to kill the kid. 'Cause he was actually the son of Zeus and some human chick. So yeah...

I know. I love Greek Mythology! *geeky moment* :B

Now watch, because we think that Ignis doesn't fit the God, they'll keep that name. >-> What about....Joe Bob? LOL! Just kidding. Hercules kinda fits him, but I doubt they'd do that. Maybe Ryan? I dunno; I think red hair, I think Ryan.

P.S. Spider-Man's my favorite! :] (IMG:style_emoticons/default/emot-iia.png)

my brothers name is Ryan. >.> so I dont think red-hair or Godly.

my guess is that Natsume will have like the same trouble as us and eliminate their names. theyve had her stay the Harvest Goddess when you marry her before so I could see it if they just didnt give the God and Goddess names...

D: My little brother's name is Ryan. No just no. D:

;) I liked the movies. Doc Ock rules.

lol. thats how I felt since my brothers name is Ryan! I think if they do give a God a name it should be something you wouldnt see on a normal person, like Excalibur (lol. I wouldnt actually want that to be his name. but you get my point.)

Aye, something less common. Gods and goddesses don't usually have common names (unless they were the ones to popularize them or something).

Did the other games actually give the Harvest Goddess a name after you marry her? I had thought about Natsume simply omitting the mention of everyone's real names, too, but if this is the first game to give her a real name Natsume may just decide to roll with it (I hope...).

this is in fact the first one where the Goddess was given a name. but I just see that they probably think its pointlessness. any name will make Harvest Goddess seem less significnt and powerful, theyve gone this long and havent given her a name, and she doesnt even live with you.

idk. I just want this game to come out in the U.S. I could care less about if they give her and name and what it may be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Eh, I dunno. If they make the name unique enough it could still work.

I always found it stilted and awkward that you'd only refer to your husband/wife as "Harvest God", "Harvest Goddess", or "Witch", and not something more...intimate. As if your spouse doesn't have a real name, or doesn't trust you enough to give you one. :/ So I like that they finally gave a Harvest Goddess (and her distaff counterpart) a real name for a change instead of just a title. People don't just go around and name their kid "Witch Princess", after all, even if she really is a witch.

somehow I dont picture the Witch Princess with parents... same with the Witch/Wizard and God/Goddess. but especially not the God/Goddess cuz after all theyre super beings. but the whole intimate factor... the God and Goddess dont live with you. how intimate is that? idk. I think they will keep the Wizard and Witch having names but idk about the God/Goddess...

Well, you know what I mean. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) I just think it's odd for a character's sole name being a title or noun. Maybe if it was meant to make said character more mysterious, but c'mon, you can woo and marry them! If they have a real name, you'd think that at some point they'd tell you it. If they don't trust you enough with simple information like that then it isn't exactly a very lasting relationship. >.>

I can accept the Harvest God and Harvest Goddess only being known by those titles, being divine beings and all. But the Witch and Wizard? That's pushing it, IMO. I still hope Natsume gives the God and Goddess names, though--especially since they aren't the same as the ones from the other games, anyway.

well im about 100% sure that the Witch and Wizard will have names. I didnt doubt that. and im only like 75-80% sure the God/Goddess will. because even though theyve never had names before, the Japanese obviously felt like they should and I dont see why Natsume would change that, but theres a lot of changes Natsume does that I dont get. (Eric to Elliot Danny to Denny. Lily to Lanna. Etc.)

True. Here's hoping that Natsume doesn't go overboard with it. -.-;

I sure hope not... but of the 7 new names (Vivi, Gale, Cefia, Ignis, Roy, Lucy, and Vivian.) I assume theyre keeping 3. at the most. for all I know theyll change Vivi AND Vivian, and wont leave Lucy amd Roy for some reason.

Watch them change Roy to Ray, and Lucy to Lacey or something like that...just to annoy us all ._.'

lol, they probably will (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

I think they might change Cefia to Sephia, Seraphina, or Sephira... or something totally different. :l
I dunno what they'll do with Gale, Vivi, and Ignis...
I hope they leave them be, or come up with some good name changes at least.
(like Tao->Toby, not like Kotomi->Candace)

We'll just have to wait and see :D

I can see that, and I think Sephia or Seraphia would be nice for the goddess.
Hopefully they don't make any horrible changes *looks at 'Candace' and shutters* and instead they'll make simple changes like they did with Cathy->Kathy.
(maybe Vivi->VeeVee or something along those lines)

I wouldnt want her name to be VeeVee. that would be terrible. I think its cute as Vivi not as VeeVee... I also am unsure of her name. I pronounce it Veevee (as in Mimi) but the internet says it should be Viv-ee as in Vivian. I think both are cute though. just not VeeVee

I like the name Sephia. Sephira fits her even better, what with her blue hair and dress and all. I hope Natsume goes with something like that. :]


VeeVee makes me think of Veemon...so yeah... >.>;
I pronounce it as "vee-vee", too, heh. I guess you could always say that it's pronounced "vih-vee" if it's meant to be a nickname of Vivian, and "vee-vee" if it is the person's real name. Like how I assume it is for Vivi (even though the name originated as a shortened form of Vivian and...gah! I've confused myself! @.@).

I kinda like Sephira... but idk. Natsumes not always well know for picking out good names.

lol. I was kinda confused with the whole pronunciation too. cuz I thought the same thing you did (Especially since there is an actual Vivian) thats why I just went with my gut and called her Vee-vee.
