FF9 - Garnet's "name"?

[spoiler] So I was playing FF9 while I'm on a trip, and I got out of the first actual dungeon (the ice cavern). After that, Zidane thought that Garnet should have a new identity (which you can input) for who knows how long. Stunningly, that identity is "Dagger" (I usually stick with the default names for story purposes on 1st playthroughs). I would NEVER name her that, but I thought it was (is) going to be for a short while. In fact, all of the menu (and HP/MP/Trance?Time bar statuses in battle) screens refer to her as Dagger, and the ones trying to bring her back to the castle refer to her as her proper name. I hope this is a joke.... I don't want to know when this happens, but rather if it happens: Will Garnet ever lose the whole "Dagger" bit? (I saved in a 2nd file just in case) [/spoiler] s for Disc 1

Sorry for not inserting line breaks....that error strikes again!!

There is actually a secret rename card later in the game you can use if you find it to rename your characters. Other than that, whatever you name her then, she stays with that name for good. I usually rename her Garnet (even though it makes for some humorous lines e.g "Don't call her Princess, you'll give her away! It's Garnet!")

You can find a rename card later that lets you change it. Play on though, the Dagger thing isn't really that annoying.

You can get a Namingway card at a couple different points in the game, which allows you to rename your characters. No worries.

I don't like the name either. It just bothers me so I always just name her Garnet since you are stuck with it. And no it isn't easy to pass up the namingway cards. I'm pretty sure you can get them almost anytime once sidequests become available.

I guess I am the only one that likes "Dagger"...

Yeah, why dagger? Why not Scimitar? I bet that would be an interesting "named after a weapon" name, then again it sounds like more of a male name.

Well I feel it did bother me. It almost feels as though she lost her identity, and there's nothing wrong with being a princess.

But you get used to it as the game goes on.

I think I put mine as Garnet again lol.

yeah i remember thinking that was a lame name, i think i named her garnet.

and for the lulz my lead character is always named death, you wouldn't believe how many times i've read these in an rpg

"LOOK OUT DEATH!!"
"deaths coming"
"please dont die death"

also i renamed aeris JoanOfArc

Or, you can give Garnet's REAL Name. In a short side quest during Disc 4, you are able to discover the actual name for Garnet. You can possibly wait till then and continue to use the "rename card" or...

If you want to know the real name, click on the spoiler:

I always keep her name as Garnet, I also like her skin-tight outfit.

I mean the orange outfit, but you can see it clearly only during the FMVs ;)

ThePerro

She didn´t has better idea about a possible name at that moment, so she looked at Zidane´s weapons ( that sounds weird lol ) and how he was using twin daggers she named herself as Dagger.

I like that name anyway.

But what I'm trying to say here is that FMV is FMV ;)

Beatrix is epic imo :(

After some serious thinking, I recall that there is a hidden town in the game which can be accessed later where you can show a person the Namingway card and you can rename your characters as many time as you like.

There is a part when you go solo with Zidane. I recall that this is the time when you can enter the TM tournament in Treno and win the Namingway card, but this requires also activating a certain ATE. The other Namingway card can be found in a one-time-only room in Kuja's palace at disc three.

It's impossible to figure out that easter egg on your own. The only thing harder than discovering that easter egg on your own, would be to get Ending A, in "Valkyrie Profile"...

I dunno about Valkyrie Profile, but the Garnet's REAL name is indeed impossible to discover on your own. You might as well play the game blindfolded for 10 years than try to figure it out.

:D It doesn't have much relevance anyway. Like it was said before, it's just an easter egg and it's not even part of the main story. Just some optional "background" information.
