    Default New Final Fantasy XIII Info Emerges from TGS 2008

    Some pretty exciting information has been dug up from TGS.

    To start off, in Vesus XIII, the Prince's name has finally been announced. Hi name IS..... Nokutisu or Nokuto for short. Also one of the female characters in the game(Maybe the blonde haird girl's) name is Stella.

    Also, the voice actress for Lightning in Final Fantasy XIII is Watanabe Akino.

    The translation are pretty rough, but that is what I was able to decipher from it.

    EDIT: Some other sites like NeoGaf are reporting that the names are:
    -Prince: Noctis
    -Blondy: Stella
    -Pigtails Girl: Sarah or Senon
    -Pigtail

    I gotta teach you about titles of news posting xD "New Info" isn't as enticing as like "Names Revealed" or something =P.

    Anywho, the only thing on my mind now after just talking to Lauren is, well, we're going to have a lot of fun ripping on those names on the podcast xD. Noctis? Really? xDD

    Im not really sure about how I feel about the names. I like Stella, and Sarah or Senon doesn't sound too bad, but Noctis?It sounds a little strange for a name. But, I'm sure it will grow on me, and after about a month of everyone hearing it, it will join the pantheon of Final Fantasy lead character names.

    I can't say I am happy with the names. I like name Stella, but that girl doesn't have that look that screams Stella. Noctis sounds too abrupt. Oh well, at least the meanings of those names seem interesting: night and star.

    I didn't like Noctis when I read it but I like it when I say it. As for Stella, I'm a loser so I'm not going to be able to stop making fun of it for the next forever.

    I prefer Senon to Sarah because I think of the princesses in the earlier games. I think I'm pronouncing Senon kind of strange thuough, as if it had an "e" at the end. Like Symone.

    I just realized how close "Noctis" is to the speculated "Nacht" that made me want to vomit. Oh man.

    ^ Nacht was a wrong speculation for Lightning's name because some people could not read live blogging correctly. So, it's not close to Noctis.

    Am I really the only one that likes the name Noctis? If pronounced with the Latin pronunciation, it's actually quite nice - then again, I also consider the meaning of words and names when deciding whether or not I like them, so perhaps that has a role here. Though I will say that I would have preferred "Nocturne," I think.... or maybe just straight up "Night."

    Stella, totally cool with that... Sarah is boring, though (no offense to fans named Sarah - I wouldn't want her name to be Elizabeth, either, though I rather like my name). Here's to hoping for Senon, which - if pronounced with the Japanese vowel set - sounds like a neat name.

    In other news, the theaters are in fact CLOSED and MEGA. Balls. Apparently there's a "Coming 2009 for PS3" on the new FFXIII trailer.

    I WAS RIGHT! D:<

    I've been saying it forever.

    I knew his name would be Nacht or something to that effect. Noctis is basically the same thing. And honestly, "Nokuto" would sound exactly like Nacht if you say it very fast.

    At any rate, hurray for Nacht! Hurray for Stella!

    Night. Star. Hrm...

    Now fans can no longer call him Storm/Rain/VersusXIII guy/Prince/King/et-freaking-cetera

    But "Nacht" from "naturally" while Noctis refers to "night", how are those two basically the same thing? >_>

    Nacht is Night in German.

    Noctis is Night in Latin.

    Also, when you pronounce Nacht it sounds like "Knocked" and Noctis would sound like "Knocks" or "Nox" to be precise.

    Ahhh, I see.

    Main thing I heard from Nacht coming about was because an interviewer used the word "natch" (as in naturally) to describe the fact Lightning had zippers.

    Well, I can also see people getting "natch" and "Nacht" confused since they're spelled with the same letters.

    What?? Noctis?? I preferred Caelum, that doesn't sound right at all.
    Hehe, Pigtails girl has my name, but it doesn't sound right in a ff game. Senon is better I guess, but not right.
    Hmm, she doesn't look like a Stella, but the meanings of those names are interesting. Totally unexpected.

    Princess Sezzaroth, Rabid Riku, Cloud and Vincent Obsessed Fangirl and Queen of Chaz.
    Got it Memorised???

    Noctis – It's not a bad name, I like the meaning to it, and let's be honest, Cloud, Squall, Zidane, Tidus and especially Vaan aren't exactly mind blowing names either. Sounds awkward now, but I'm sure we'll get used to it. And at least they're trying to make it a little different.

    Stella - Belgian premium beer brand with tradition dating back to 1366. Lol. If you ignore the fact that Stella is a beer, it sounds okay. But she doesn't strike me as a person named Stella. She looks more like a Tifa or a Rinoa.

    Sarah or Senon – I really hope it's Senon if it is one of those two (no offence to Sarah's around the world). Sarah just doesn't sound Final Fantasyish.

    I think what made SE choose those Versus names is the night and star meaning to them. But when you say them together; Noctis and Stella. Hmm, it doesn't sound quite right. One things for sure though. Give it time and these name will probably grow on all of us. I'm starting to warm up to the name Noctis already.
