Okay, trying this again since the last thread had to be locked...

Link 2

If you need to see the original post, it's in the other thread.

Okay people, keep discussion reasonable and mature. If I see it start to devolve into another whinefest the other one became, this one also becomes locked, got it?

Alright. You may continue discussion now.

I don't really mind the name changes. I never have, and probably never will. Yes, they did throw me for a loop when I first saw them; but hey, I can deal with it.

What's sad though, is that name changes cause more confusion than it's worth. Case in point, my brothers and sisters are anime fans first and game fans second. They also aren't that well grounded in the games as so far they've only played BN #2. This, of course, causes a massive language barrier at times, especially when I say "BeastMan was in yesterday's episode again" and they go "Who?".

Ah well, at least I won't have to worry about any Aqua/Spout mixups when they get EXE 6. XD

Well...yes, I'll whinge about the name changes to people around me and probably online a few times in my LJ. But I'll still buy the English games, so at least I'll feel entitled to complain. Besides, there are few more important flaws with EXE 6 than a couple of naming changes...

I wonder if the English ending will be more conclusive as to whether this will be the last EXE game or not.

Hopefully they will put "The End?" with a question mark so that it is either the final game or a possibility for more games

Well, it does say (EXE6 spoilers, to be safe)[spoil:3ec83caad5]Grown up Netto says '' Plug in, Rockman.exe, transmission!'' Followed by, Rockman.exe, and below that, END. the End characters even resemble their english alphabet counterparts.[/spoil:3ec83caad5]

Hey, I'm just glad to see actual translated footage. It makes me happy just because it gives me a sign that the game is getting closer to its release and that means that my girlfriend and I will spend many hours playing the games. As for the name changes, bring them on! I personally couldn't care as to what they did to Aquaman, since I probably only use his cross to I get one that I'm really waiting for, go Tengu cross! Also Killerman to Eraseman works for me because when you play a game that involves the internet and net navis, erase makes much more sense than killer does, since thats all you're doing is erasing data.

The only problem I have is spoutman. Aquaman was fine in 4 so why not here? That's pretty weird. Although they could have also used deleteman, eraseman works.

I wonder what they'll change Dark Kirasaki's name to.?

Another thing with the hole spoutman name changing remeber them changing Mr.Dark's name to Dusk Dark in exe 5 from 2

...It hurts. *sniffles* Think about it. What exactly does "Spout Cross Megaman" sound like to you? And "Erase Cross Megaman" for that matter. "I'MMA ERASE YOU LAWL!" and "I'M GONNA USE MY SPOUT BUBBLER!!!!"

I don't know, but for some reason the name "Spoutman" sounds very naughty to me >_< Don't know why at all.

I don't see why it had to be changed though...in EXE4, he was Aquaman... in Rockman 8, he was Aquaman... >_<

And then...Eraseman. Oh yeah, reallllll smooth. But it's not all bad...at least Dustman is still "Dustman" and not "Trashman" or "Dirtman."

And at least Tomahawkman didn't get wiped out because of "Native American Racism" or something. (Well, he wasn't in EXE5, anyway)

But something that did strike me as a teensy bit odd in the games is that Dingo and Tomahawkman seemed more well-suited to Green Town and Fuuten Roushi and Tenguman seemed more well suited to Sky Town...Don't you see the elemental resemblence too? Does anyone else see the wrong in this?!??! *bricked*

But oh...Oh how thankful I am. Tenguman. NOT CROWMAN. Tenguman. THANK YOU GODS OF EDEN...OR WHATEVER!

To Shakai: Basically, since AquaMan was changed to SpoutMan in the dub, then they just left him as that in EXE6. There's really no point in changing a name once, then changing it back again to its original name. And, no offence, but please don't say ( And I hope no one else is thinking of saying this. >_>) that 'they should've just left it as AquaMan in the first place!!' It's not a very good argument, really. :/ ( Also, TomahawkMan IS in EXE 5; He's in Team Colonel.)

As for EraseMan, they could call him whatever they want and I'd STILL play EXE6. Since Aqua was changed to Spout, does that mean that, unlike the Japanese version, when you meet him, he pops out of a whale's spout? Since Killer was changed to Erase, does that mean that, unlike the Japanese version, he'll turn into an eraser ever time he's defeated in battle? No? Good, because the storyline is not changed in any way just because a character here and there gets a name change.

The point of this post: The point is that, as other people have stated, the name of a character does NOT change anything in the storyline. Therefore, it does NOT determine whether or not a character will not appear at all in the game, whether or not the end of the universe is coming, or whether or not you will get your favorite dessert tonight after dinner.

To be perfectly honest, I'm so used to hearing Spoutman in the dub...that I didn't even notice that it had changed! So people should just calm down a little, or get CyBeast Gregar instead so they don't have to look at it.

Eraseman is strange to me because as one of you said in the locked post his mini game is kill people , well i suppose deleting/erasing does have a resembalence (spelling?) , and i am glad that Dust and Ground wearnt changed so thats a relieve (spelling) but wait on tomahawk it says Thawk

EXE 4 came out before the Axess dub, I'm sure of it. As for AquaMan being AquaMan in EXE4 and the Original MM... Maybe DC didn't notice until EXE4, and threatened for stuff if they did it again? Or... something... Bah, I don't know how the whole Copyright law thing works. @_x Aqua is Spout, and that's that. Then again, if you think about it, it works quite well for him. After all, the little thing on his head can't really be called a fountain, now can it? XD

Meh not to bothersome; I don't really see the point but... I thought for sure that they'd change Killer (I refuse to say "Killerman", because I like just Killer better) to Annihilator or Destructor. Looking at it in perspective it could've been A LOT worse (Eyeballman or Evilman anyone?).

I just got a sudden thought.

There's the Killer Eyes, Killerman does Killer Beam - an ability used by Killer Eyes. What if the Killer Eyes are renamed to Eraser Eyes? Just a thought.

I woulder perfer the original, cause Eraser Eyes sounds silly. I just hope that the Swordys remain Swordys. The only exception would be if the level 2 and 3 versions were called Flame Swordy and Aqua Swordy, as opposed to Swordy 2 etc.
