Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls: Dawn of Souls - Final Fantasy I Auto-Name Update Gameboy Advance

  • ~
  • Share
As time went on, the names used in Final Fantasy Ⅰ Advance's auto-name function--which pulls names from later games' NPCs--became outdated, with various references obsolete localizations. While it's easy to manually correct a name after it's been generated, it's more convenient for the auto-name to supply proper terms from the get-go, hence the release of this patch.

Final Fantasy Ⅱ Advance is not affected.

FFI Advance introduced an Auto-Name feature, where the four faceless avatars could be given names
based off of NPCs from FFIII, IV, V, VI, and IX. The localization team even did their homework, and
checked the previous official English releases of games in the series, ensuring that returning
players would catch the references.

However, this caused a problem when later games received their re-localizations. Suddenly, the names
in FFI Advance didn't match up anymore! This patch seeks to rectify that.
