Kaden? (Not confirmed Photo) (Thanks, Elieson for a photo)

[CaitlynMellark]

There was a photo I saw on Facebook of Hoshido character's localized names.

I don't know if it's a confirmed photo (if it is, I will cry)

And Nishiki's name was...

KADEN

I am fine with Kaden

But not for a fluffy foxy fox

Maybe you special editors can tell us if it's fake or not.

I do not want Kaden fox. (Because Nishiki shiki shiki)

I posted it on the front page but for reference, snagged the screencap myself:

Yes! It wasn't that photo (it has a bunch of the other characters, like a deployment for a chapter) but yes, Kaden the Kitsune.

Kaden is such a cute name I am all for this!! This name is actually my OC name!! (His VA is also Henry so he's literally everything to me

I was obsessed with him before, but with the new localized info about him I am HEAD OVER HEELS NOW.

I love the name Kaden (hell, on of my rp characters is named Kaiden)

But I'd rather have Nishiki (it's the sound it makes when you pet his fur ^0^ Ni shiki shiki shiki)

I mean, I'll still marry Kaden, even if his name is that

But I'm just a bit disappointed

My friend is marrying Flannel, & I think his name will be Bob or something xD

[Respite&Nepenthe]

I'm in love with his angelic, psychotic life.

It was discussed on a different thread, but apparently Kaden can be pronounced Kah-den and can be Japanese.

[Skarthe]

Also, "Nishiki" means "brocade". BroCADE -> KADEn.

I actually like it. For all the crap people have been giving the localization's name changes, I think most of them are actually pretty clever - barring that, they're at least the best that localization could do in context. (see: Rhajat, Caeldori - keeping both the Japanese theme and the anagram of the Awakening name is more or less impossible, so they picked one)

[AsherCrane]

Now if you want to look at a name that REALLY sounds dumb when it was localized... Fuga. It makes me think of a Fugu fish, and really doesn't seem fitting to what It seems like he is supposed to be.

Cool story I leave a like. Kaiden sounds great! I actually like the shape shifters in this game than Awakening. A Taguel(Bunny) is not my cup of tea

Maybe I'd like it more if it was spelled like my rp person (with an extra i in it)

[Damosel]

Kaden.... Kaiden....

Kaden Alenko?

[CaitlynMellark]

Kaden.... Kaiden....

Kaden Alenko?

I don't even know who that is & I am impressed with that edit xD

[Meiyu]

Kaden seems like a nice name to me.

[CaitlynMellark]

I have added the photo from Facebook, showing Kaden as an option

[Yui]

Kaden... will get used to this name some day. Not sure how this name is going to be pronounced, but i also hope kah-den is the right way, if it's not, i might say it wrong many times at first.

The thing that annoys me is that seeing this name Kaden reminded me of Kraden, a character from the Golden Sun games (whose name i also mispronounce), and this does not go very well with foxy cuteness

Now i'm curious about what will happen to Kinu's name

Yeah they chose wrong.

~~THIS IS FOR ANYONE WHO ALLOWS SPOILERS~~

So it is official; Nishiki is renamed Kaden

Here is a video showing Nishiki & his new name (and you can hear his voice acting, WHICH IS 10/10 PERFECTION ANYWAY)

(Photo is from video)

[Giga Man]

Should have been "Kaiden". I can't read "Kaden" without thinking about Cadin, the cicada Yo-kai from Yo-Kai Watch.
