Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

 

Well no duh. That game has aged horribly and not even Eidos owned IO at that time.

Well I might play the new one.

Takumi Miyajima barely wrote dawn of the new world. Someone else was in charge of the project, as illustrated in this interview.

And fun fact, Takumi Miyajima is a female. That's how under appreciated she is.

Tales of Symphonia honestly. That name has a type of click to it that makes it sound awesome.

[Exiblade7 1,917]

I think Emil Castagnier from tales of symphonia 2 sticks out the most. It has a very nice ring to it in my opinion.

Kor Meteorite because it sounds like a a shitty translation name

He is called Shing Meteorite in the Japanese version of the game

 

 They changed his name in the english translation I guess for reasons.

Exactly i dunno what was so offensive about Shing 

[Pangoro "Sen" 445]

Luke fon Fabre. Mostly because of that 'fon' part. Kinda reminds me of a certain other video game character in a popular JRPG series. Cough cough, Basch fon Ransenburg, cough.

I have been looking into this game's lore for some time now and I still can't really figure out why Ache is called Ache. I bet there is some symbolism behind it. 

[Tails 6,692]

He changed his name to "Asche" to distinquish himself from his replica.

[Elrandir 783]

That's simple.

 

Luke Fon Fabre's name means "Light of the Sacred Flame" Asch changed his name to distinguish himself from Luke, since he was no longer Luke Fon Fabre. The name Asch sounds like "Ash". Since Asch was no longer the "Sacred Flame" he would be the remains of that flame, meaning it's ashes.

 

"It's been a while since a played Abyss so maybe I'm slightly wrong.

His name also symbolizes a Phoenix,  how a Phoenix burns up and from the ashes rises anew.  Luke is the symbolic Phoenix while Asche is the ashes that are left behind.

Thanks guys! this helped a lot.

I think this was indirectly stated IN the game if i am correct.

[Elrandir 783]

It is!

I just don't remember that much since it's been years since the last time i actually played Tales of the Abyss.

[Exiblade7 1,917]

[DragonMaster 1,166]

Yep, you are. One of the God Generals literally calls him the "charred remains of the sacred flame" or something very similar. I don't remember the exact wording, but I do remember that scene specifically.

Wow, I've never heard this before, but that's a really cool way to look at it!

[Exiblade7 1,917]

I know. I just wanted a deeper explanation on why Luke's and ache's names are the way they are. I still don't fully grasp it though, I think I kinda understand it. 

[Pangoro "Sen" 445]

Ah, graphical glitches like that can be a pleasure.

[Enix 995]

Miew stahp. pls stahp.

[Exilra 393]

Mieu spin me right round... And I think his name is spelled "Mieu" not "Miew"

[Exiblade7 1,917]

Mieu spin me right round... And I think his name is spelled "Mieu" not "Miew"

I'll fix that typo right away

[Xiro 3,468]
