I'd have 2 nickels. But it's weird that it happened twice. Rikku - ff 10 Riku - kh 1 and Terra - ff 6 Terra - kh bbs Maybe it's just a kingdom hearts thing that they're piggybacking off of final fantasy. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You'd have several nickels for Biggs, Wedge, Cid, and Mog alone.

When you have so many games, each with several new characters, theres bound to be some overlap.
Same thing happens with Fire Emblem. Theyve reused names a few times, because with 14 unique games times roughly 50 characters each, thats about 700 characters. Hard to come up that many unique names that are easy to pronounce. --- The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense. ... Copied to Clipboard!

#2 mentioned those recurring names, but for Terra: the FF6 character was named Tina in the JP version, so that wasn't a reuse for their original decision. During translation, they decided Tina wasn't exotic enough and changed it to Terra. Then KH didn't bother to change the translation of the (not reused in JP) Terra name. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I wonder why they never reused the names Rosso the Crimson and Azul the Cerulean. Those names were soooooo fucking cool.

Technically Square didn't re-use Terra. In the original Japanese version, she was named Tina. Nintendo of America decided to give her a more "exotic/mysterious" name, since they didn't give a shit about accurate translations back then. Edit: Dalthine beat me to it, but I'm not deleting this post since I stand by my last statement. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Fire is usually red or crimson They're villains from Dirge of Cerberus, aka the Vincent-centric FF7 sequel / spinoff that everyone wishes they could forget. I could look past the banality of some writer patting themselves on the back for essentially naming two characters 'Red the Red' and 'Blue the Blue' if they were otherwise interesting or well-written.
