I believe that the name “Lucas ” would be far more effective than either “Luca” or “Ruca”. Lucas comes from the the name “Lucina” I believe. All I do know, is that Lucas came from an Italian word about a race that dominated Italy a little while ago. Definitely go for Lucas.

There’s no need for anyone to apologize. I can understand where people are coming from. It’s just Cless/Cress all over again. I used to fall on the other side of this argument, so believe me, I understand. I just hope that nobody is so hung up on a name that they don’t play the patch. These names are such a small part of this game. All I really want is for people to enjoy the game, so it’s kind of hard to hear reactions that make it sound like I’m ruining the game by naming him Luca. Zace, I’m not saying that you ever said anything like that, but there were some people who came off that way. Purists have as much right to their opinions as anyone else, but given my approach to translation, it can’t be helped that I’m going to butt heads with people who think that way. I don’t hold it against anyone, it’s just that sometimes I get frustrated.

I guess I could be classified as one of those “naming purists” you mentioned. I stated several times in the TSF topic that I preferred Ruca as a name.

I apologize for being such a “purist” and I’d like to say that I support your name-changing decisions whole-heartedly.

@Abaryn: I didn’t know if there’s anyone that’s actually rooting for Ruka. I just included it in a way like ‘I don’t mind if it’s A, B or C, heck, it could be Z for all we know!’.

When it comes to this, I trust throughhim to use his best judgement based on his research on either Luca or Lucas.

There is actually no naming option in Tales of Innocence. It will be fully compatible with no$gba and the real system.

Your being too hard on yourself. Besides, if purists don’t like Lucas, it can be changed since they have a naming option.

P.S: Can this be played on a real DS when the patch is out?

Wait wait wait… People actually think Ruka is viable? Do they have any understanding of how badly Japanese bastardizes other languages through its limited syllabary system? Oh yes, let’s use Ruka! And then when they import an English game over there where the characters drink “Japanese sock-ee” I’m sure there will be a whole contingent of uninformed Japanese fans crying out to keep the original English bastardization.

Right, well that explains this whole “situation” then.

I can’t see what the big deal is with it. I’m just going to be happy when I can finally understand what’s going on in the game.

I’m pretty sure it’s been mentioned before, but Tales of Innocence DOES NOT allow you to rename your characters.
