Final Fantasy VIII models

[SierraLatkje]

The way I usually handle special characters (Banon and Leo in FF6, for example) is to put them in the NPCs section. I generally keep the "real" party in a section by themselves.

Okay, that sounds good. So Laguna, Kiros and Ward (when I get there) can join the Garden Faculty in the NPC section, and I guess it's a toss-up whether or not to put Edea in NPC or Bosses, though I'm leaning towards NPC, so she'll be in better company. (Besides, her ending point in the game is as an NPC, rather than an enemy, so that should count for something, right?) Seifer should be in the Bosses section, 'cause Fujin and Raijin would get lonely if he wasn't there with them, ya know? (Bonus points to anyone who knows why writing the end of that sentence made me laugh.)

However, Fujin and Raijin bring me to the other thing I wanted to say. It occurred to me suddenly that Fujin and Raijin (not to mention Biggs and Wedge!) have no last names that I'm aware of. (It's possible they've been given some at some point, but the names weren't in the game at any time, and I don't feel like searching the 'net for them. Doesn't seem that important...) Because of that, it would seem off if some characters had their full names and others only one name. At least on a section-by-section basis, anyway. So the icon that just says "Seifer" should be used, and if Edea's going in the Bosses section, then the one that says "Edea" should be used. If she's going in NPCs, then either "Edea" or "Edea Kramer" could work, since I have last names for all the rest of the cast. (Though Kiros and Ward both have rather odd last names, but...that's neither here nor there...) I think "Sorceress Edea" is out either way, because "Sorceress Ultimecia" probably wouldn't fit on the icon very well.
