Final Fantasy V Research & Development / FF5 "Namingway" NPCs
« on: May 19, 2015, 10:03:25 PM »
Not sure where else to post this, so if it's more appropriate somewhere else please let me know!
For quite a while it's bothered me that FF5 doesn't allow you to change your characters' names. FF5 remains one of the last FF games of the main series that I haven't finished. Before I dig into the game I'd like to see if there's something that could be done about re-naming characters. I figured that if it was possible, it would have already been done. So since I couldn't find any hacks like that I was afraid the names were hard-coded. But I recently found out that the Ancient Cave hack has a barrel "NPC" that lets you change the name of whomever is the lead character.
So, how hard would it be to make a hack for the English translation that simply adds a "Namingway" NPC in Tule? Or maybe an inventory item like the Rename Card?
