Names differences
I'm interested in knowing which names of FF characters are different from the original in other languages. And why do you think they often translate names? Isn't that stupid?

off the top of my head ^_^:
ENG : JAP FF6: Terra : Tina Sabin : Mash Cyan : Cayenne Kefca : Cefca Strago : Stragus Stray (the Esper) : Cait Sith (!!) FF9: Freya : Freija (not absolutely sure about that one) and then theres the Aerith / Aeris thing... though I think they're called Aeris in both anyway ??

As far as I know, Aerith is for japanese and Aeris for the otehr versions. You said, it, artist.
But I really had never thought about this or even had it in mind... it happens a lot in video games overall, Jolie. sometiems due to pronounciation or spelling factors, some otehr times just for comercialization... it may be a little stupid to change names some times, but I don't think this is a matter to care much about.

I agree with Frozen on the reasoning... the majority of the names the change are simply due to the lack of some sounds in either alphabet - like Kefka being spelt with "c"s beacuse there are no "k"s, or "Rydia" FF4 being "Lydia"
The only real exceptions I can see are Tina/Terra and Mash/Sabin... The first one is probably because it fits the character more (more mysterious) - perhaps Tina is a Magical name in Japan? (in Essex - where I come from - its considered a common "slapper" name ^_^).... as for Mash? perhaps they felt it didn't sound "mature" enough, or somthing...
