Renaming characters

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

I know it’s not a part of the remake but is there a mod or tool where you can rename the characters like in the original? Would be nice

[Xelane]

Not that I know of but even if you did, they'd still say the name of the characters so I don't see the point.

Doesn’t matter you could turn of the voices as well

...Uh... No? It's not designed that way. We've moved on. Voice acting means the characters are named what they're named. The reason why Tidus in FFX was able to be renamed and nobody else was because *nobody actually says his name*. But everyone else is named. That's just how it is.

Thats not moving on. Most rpgs let you name characters by yourself. Well ff is a jrpg so it’s different but giving players more options is the way to move and not limitations. Ff 15 even lets you create your own avatar and let you play him in single player. There will probably be a mod at some point
Edit: and no voice acting doesn’t mean that you can’t name the protagonist lol

There are mods that change characters names (usually as a bonus to completely changing their looks) but there is no mod that lets you enter your own name. You can create your own mod, its UE4 after all, changing text strings isnt that hard.

"15 even lets you create your own avatar and let you play him in single player"
This was PC-only experimental feature and thankfully its long gone now.

Not gone and thankfully you can do it

Just admit the only reason you want to do this is to call Barret by the n-word.

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

Na Barret is truly a Jeff

Its gone. You can revert to older version and get it back but its gone from ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ build along with all associated online nonsense like other players ghosts in single player mode.
Everyone will still call you Noct tho. I dont remember many fully voiced games other than Fallout 4 where you can enter your own name and still be called by that name.

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

In most games they call you with a title or mention your name in quest logs ingame letters etc. Thwy should do it like in forza horizon your name always gets spoken out and it’s not even a rpg

Not all JRPGs do this! Absolutely not! The Tales of... games are ALL NAMED CHARACTERS.
It is NOT a *necessity* to rename characters. It is a cinematic narrative with *pre-named* characters. Deal with it.
You mentioning FF15 makes zero sense considering the main story is STILL ABOUT NOCTIS, not some random Kingsglaive Comrades character. You're being delusional and pedantic over nothing.

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

The only one which is delusional is you. I already said jrpgs are different like many of their players . If the original creator would make them you could still name them which is a fact. But Final fantasy isn’t final fantasy anymore since 9 what you can see. And it doesn’t matter because the characters don’t exist so why do you care if someone wants to name them or not lmao

"Final Fantasy isn't Final Fantasy anymore since 9"... Says who? You? Nah. Blatantly untrue.
Yoshinori Kitase directed VI, VII, VIII. He's Lead Producer of VII's remake trilogy.
Hironobu Sakaguchi stopped directing after FF5! And only CO-directed 9 with Hiroyuki Ito.
XII is literally the same universe as FF Tactics, which was years before it, still Final Fantasy.
The ENTIRE FRANCHISE is built upon the notion that IT ALWAYS CHANGES. It is never the same twice. That's *entirely the point*. The fact that you one minute proclaim "BUT FFXV LET ME BE MY COMRADES CHARACTER IN THE BASE GAME" and then claim "But FF hasn't been FF since 9 D:" is the most hypocritical backflip I've ever seen.
Fun Fact; TETSUYA NOMURA created the party characters of FFVII in 1997. He's Co-Director (and Creative Director) on Remake. If *Sakaguchi* had his way for FFVII in 1997, half the party would've died during the late-game Midgar parachute raid, completely ruining the weight and meaning of Aerith's death. NOMURA veto'd Sakaguchji's idea.

It's also rather funny that you're insinuating that "if Hironobu Sakaguchi were still on FF, the characters would be renamable!" ...Uh.. Y'know Fantasian on Apple Arcade has named characters that CAN'T BE RENAMED, right? Sakaguchi's game.
Lost Odyssey? YOU ALSO CAN'T RENAME THE CHARACTERS. Mistwalker/Sakaguchi's game.
The Last Story? NOT RENAMABLE. Sakaguchi/Mistwalker's game.
(FFIV only had them renamable through Namingway NPC, fyi...)

Look, you're just making yourself look incredibly silly now...

The FACT is that the narrative/story *itself* is intentionally cinematic about *the specific characters*. This isn't the '90s with voiceless characters anymore. It is a fully cinematic experience. They aren't YOUR characters. You are presented them by the creator. If you so desperately want a Final Fantasy game where you're the custom named character, then ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ play FF11 or FF14. That's literally the point of those games. (Note you ALSO cannot rename the NPC Scions of the Seventh Dawn in FF14 that make up the "party" your Warrior of Light goes on adventures with)...

Renaming characters is *literally* not necessary, and you're being insanely over-obsessive.

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

The only one which is obsessive is you. Just because there are voiced characters doesn’t mean you cant name your characters anymore. Dozens of games with voiced characters let you name your character so your arguments doesnt make sense. Well yes this aren’t final fantasy games because you notice the core essence isn’t there anymore which is a fact. You aren’t a rpg player you just prefer this action adventures what we have now. And yes this are your characters when you play the game. You are very sensitive about things when someone prefers different things than you. You should work on yourself

Oh please. There isn't one "true" era of Final Fantasy. Many who grew up with the Nintendo era games looked down on FFVII. Similarly, many who grew up with FFX despised XIII. And on and on it goes. You don't get to define what constitutes true Final Fantasy.

Not being able to name your characters is such a silly and pointless aspect to complain about.
