Yeah, for better or worse, that’s why I didn’t rename. I love my wife (Hi, honey!), but naming Tifa after my wife doesn’t exactly have the adolescent thrill of naming her after a crush, and having already to schedule my playing time, um, delicately, that’s added stress I don’t need.

I was also probably put off by my recent re-play of FFI, where I did name the white mage after my wife, but being limited to 4 characters meant that I played the game with a somewhat ambiguous “Dani.”

All those names, actually, are an homage to earlier days since this whole experience is fundamentally nostalgic. Nobody but people from high school call me, “Andy” and “Marian” was an old college girlfriend (I have no current crushes, now that I think about it). “Mr. T,” of course, is just name that because it’s the rule.

So far no compatibility issues, but I have found that the music emulation doesn’t rival the original. It’s something about the midi conversion, I think.

I’m taking from the screen shoots that you’re playing on a PC. Any system compatibility issues with the game as time has passed? What sort of a controller do you use (or not)?
