If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

I believe her japanese name is Cidney

Yup

Cindy Aurum (Jp:Cidney Aurum)

Edit: Beaten

It's just swapping two letters. Eh. Who cares? We've had characters entirely swap names before.

Noctis means night or something in Latin and Gladius is the name of a sword?

Raviolo is the best name ever.

I will be renaming Noctis to Fetucinno and Gladius to Gnochhio

The series has named at least two separate people Cidolfus, a name I'm pretty sure doesn't exist anywhere, so I"m not sure why they would change Cidney.

FFXII even gave us a pair of Cids just in case one wasn't enough. There's Cidolfus the evil Cid and Al-Cid the good guy Cid with the sweet shades.

It looks like Cidney isn't even the "main" Cid of FFXV, either: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cid_Sophiar Though I'm not sure why they renamed her to Cindy when they could've just gone Sidney if they were afraid people wouldn't "get" the Cidney spelling.

Cidney is a real name, but doesn't sound like a real name, which automatically makes it more qualified to be in a Final Fantasy game than Cindy, which is both a real name and sounds like it.

Is there a reason why that side game is getting launched at the same time as the main game? It'd make sense if it was before to kind of hype things up, but simultaneous release sounds weird and potentially cannibalizing (mostly to the side game, and not that the side games's sales are probably going to hurt SE that much).

But hey I'm not complaining, art looks cool and seems like an okay beatem up.

The side game is a short pre-order bonus with Gamestop.

e: Or it might be available for purchase but free if you preorder? They're not exactly clear on that.

Cidney sounds like a real name, just one that is much more normally spelled "Sidney".

Ah, I knew a Cidney as a child. I've never met any Sidneys. Maybe it's a different countries use different spellings thing.

FF3 has the best World Map theme and what the gently caress is World of Final Fantasy. It looks like a game struggling to come up with a reason to exist.

There is I Am Setsuna, which is a new IP that tries really, really hard to make you think it's Chrono Trigger.

It's probably a pretty good game so I'm not going to talk too much poo poo about it, but I don't really get the reason this game exists. But if it's good that's reason enough, right?

Doubt I'll touch it anyway since it gives me major KH vibes and I'm happy staying the hell away from that series, plus it's PS4/Vita only.

Didn't realize it was handheld first, that explains a good bit (other then why they're still making games for a dead platform but whatever).

Where's the next Theatrhythm game? Curtain Call was great and the DLC was clearly prepping for a game encompassing all of SE's franchises. Hell, I'm surprised they haven't pushed the drat thing on mobile after the first game's port, just needs a bit of tweaking to work better with fingers.

its sort of a dead platform, but their dragon quest minecraft thing sold really well on vita. the easy porting means that you can make a vita game and have a console port for fallback, especially for selling it in the west where the vita is much less popular
