the Final Fantasy games have very eclectic sets of names

playing IV right now, just coming up on the final boss. Main character is Cecil, with other party members Rosa, Edgar, Kain, Cid (okay, nothing too outlandish yet), Edge, Tellah, Rydia (okay, getting a little weird), Palom, Porom (???), FuSoYa (?????????), and major villains Golbez and Zemus

also the four elemental archfiends, a series of bosses you have to fight, are named Scarmiglione, Cagnazzo, Barbariccia, and Rubicante

@Felthry Those are all enemy names in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow also!

Well, modulo some transliteration errors. It took me a while to figure out what "Skull Millione" was supposed to be⁓

@ElectricKeet Are both references to something in particular? (the Italianness and demonicness makes me wonder if they're names from Inferno, but we've never read that)

Follow

@ElectricKeet so apparently they were in charge of torturing corrupt politicians. I want to make an "and they're the _bad_ guys?" joke, but well torture, even fictional, is not something I can condone, even jokingly
