Loki Laufeyson Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I was kind of hoping for Edgar (because Poe reference) but Leon is good. I can hang with this and i like he has a name now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyreneSiren Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Since we're on the topic of communism, there's this thing I found while searching "Kamui" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardWolf95 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Leon is such a great name for him imho (the FF2 connections definitely help), but I've studied the image for a while now, and I can't see anything besides ヒキン, which is a far more disappointing name choice if it's true. Hikin, maybe Hekain? Hikeen? I don't know. Here's to hoping that it IS Leon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Just to clarify for a new page, besides the blurry pic, there have been a handful of Japanese fans who saw the display and they all stated that his name is Leon. I am watching the Japanese social media in case there are any better pics, but I will probably be asleep before they wake up again XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoshidokoala Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So we now have (probably) 3 of the 4 Nohr family with confirmed names. All we need is Twintails I think. I think that she kinda looks a bit like an Ursula or Anastasia or Mimi to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceBuster573 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 No mention of Aimee and Amy? Who are both in the SAME GAME no less? :P Anyway, I never expected the blond mage guy to be named Leon. He doesn't look anything like a Leon to me. But that might be because the only Leons I've known were dark skinned boys... You don't have to personally know a Leon to say he looks like one. Are you unfamiliar with Resident Evil's Leon S. Kennedy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamanoir Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm glad that I wasn't the only one thinking this. FF2 rocks. I first thought about Tales of Destiny, then Garo. Strange thing is I played FF2 but not ToD (though I played the Narikiri Dungeon games...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltlilith Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 If we now have Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky, and Kamui is leading a revolution on the Nohr path... Could you call it a kamuinist revolution? i'm here all week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euklyd Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Google actually gives me results for a woman named Camila from Chile who is a member of the communist youth of Chile. (I don't actually think that is who she would be referencing, I did think it was kinda funny though lol. Mostly mentioning her because she is apparently notable(?) enough to have a wikipedia page.)Camilla Ravera was a founding italian communist Since we're on the topic of communism, there's this thing I found while searching "Kamui"this is actually pretty interesting japanese guy who fled his family to (maybe?) become a communist?! anyways...basically what I'm getting here is: Nohr Route: Marx and Leon forcefully second-seal the entire nation to Villager, thus creating a classless utopia.

NekoKnight Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I think people are making big assumptions on this whole "communist" theme. I'll grant you Marx but Leon is not an exclusive name. In a movement as large as communism, you're sure to find matching names for... anything. We have a pattern of one, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Nohr Route: Marx and Leon forcefully second-seal the entire nation to Villager, thus creating a classless utopia. Animal Crossing Villager, right? I think people are making big assumptions on this whole "communist" theme. I'll grant you Marx but Leon is not an exclusive name. In a movement as large as communism, you're sure to find matching names for... anything. We have a pattern of one, so far. Considering that Marx is also the name of a Kirby villain, I'm not so sure that "Marx" counts as as an "exclusive name". Oh, and you can't have a pattern of one. In fact, two isn't even enough for a pattern. Edited May 7, 2015 by NinjaMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryo Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 We're not even sure that Marx's katakana name is indeed meant to be Marx yet, Karl Marx's name in Japanese is マルクス. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardWolf95 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) So, I sharpened and brightened the image of the katakana for Blarth's real name, and I added ヒキン for comparison. Even if his name IS リオン, I won't be convinced until I see a clearer image ? (Im on my phone right now, so sorry about the picture) Edit: There's a possibility it could also be ヒキレ (hikire; Hekiray?), which would be....worse? Either way it'd be a terror to translate into a coherent name. Edited May 7, 2015 by BlizzardWolf95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Even if his name IS リオン, I won't be convinced until I see a clearer image It could be Reon レオン. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardWolf95 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) It could be Reon レオン.It very well could be, then his name would be romanized to Rayon/Leyon (amongst other interchangable romanizations), which at least looks cooler than the more plain Leon.But something about that middle character seems (to me, at least) much too thin to be オ, however that could just be chalked up to stylization or the blurryness.

(that is the sound é makes right?)Honestly, that seems like the most probable one so far, what with the European flare Nohr has going on.Bonus points if he ends up with an out-of-place French accent.
