"Better name" (3 images)

submitted by
A screenshot of Chrono Trigger depicting a dialogue between a science girl (Lucca), a protagonist boy (Chrono), a friendly girl (Nimmi) and a robot they have just met. It proceeds as following: Lucca says: "all right! Now what's your name?" addressing the robot. He responds: "name? Ah, my serial number. It is R66-Y." Nimmi intervenes: "No! That won't do at all! Come on Crono, let's give him a better name!"

Another screenshot depicts a name choosing menu. I wrote R66-Y.

The last screenshot, with Nimmi reacting to the new name: "R66-Y... R66-Y... that's perfect!"

“What’s your name? Idk sounds like shit my bro will pick you a better name.” Wtf

Doing this in FF7 leads to some real confusing dialog.

“Where’s Nanaki going?”

“Who the heck is Nanaki?”

“Nanaki is Nanaki!”

My mate named Tifa “Big Tits” and then complained he didn’t understand the story.

I vividly remember doing this, and that dialog box, and not remembering if it’s the character being a dick or if I did it to myself.

The main character’s name is “Crono” in the English release due to the 5 character limit on character names.

Ah, the missing ‘h’. Maybe I haven’t had enough sleep, but at first I thought you were saying he’s supposed to be named something else entirely.

(For the curious, his untranslated name is クロノ, ‘Kurono’, which is about as close to Chrono/Crono as you can get in Japanese.)

“What’s your name, kid?”

“Steve.”

“Fuck that. Your name is Steve now.”

This is hysterical when written down like this

This reminded me of playing Saga Frontier. In that game you can be a robot, and there is a guy that always adds a G to the end of whatever you name the robot, if you choose to rename them.

from the SF wiki:

T260G is one of three characters who can be renamed at the beginning. However, a G will always be added to the end of the name, at Uncle Taco’s request.

In at least one other place in the script his serial number is R-66Y instead.

I loove this remix of robo’s theme song, which cleverly features this as a lyric.
