Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 178680, member: 6930"] I think that games forcing a name are voiced so they won't have to workaround to avoid giving a name to the character in voice lines. Maybe they should allow a "pseudonym" while the character still has a name but then again protags are either blank slate or set characters. In the Zelda games Link could be named anything because he was an avatar rather than a character until BotW and TotK forced the name Link (which is a bit too bad imo, they should've let you name the save file instead) but I think it's to make voice lines easier. Inversely Adol Christin in the Ys series, despite starting as a blank slate avatar, still was named since the entire franchise is following the adventure of a notorious explorer that started a new era of discovery in that universe (which is a parallel version of medieval/Renaissance-era Europe where the Roman empire still exists). Perhaps names should be given for a save file to give it some originality while keeping the canon names. [/QUOTE]
