What are the ascians true names?

[dustdjinn]

You're the one nitpicking here, and pointlessly at that. What does trying to prove me wrong even accomplish, other than excluding the rest of the Titans as potential names?

Woah nelly are you pugnacious! I didn't say that other titans names weren't possible, I'm sorry if it came off that way. I was just saying that whether it be titan or "god" both are of greek origin. They are viewed as godly like creators and would fall into the same category. Either way I believe it will be a reference to greek culture...which I think you agree with?

So we are on the same page.

Yes, yes. We're on the same page. Sorry for the argument, and for crapping up the thread.

EDIT: Please, folks, don't argue this any further. It's not conducive to discussion and speculation.

To throw out something to get things back on track, I've always been fond of Azem's true name being Atlas, due to the connection to maps of the world and the imagery of Atlas holding up the heavens upon his shoulders.

Hey no biggie! It's so hard to detect tone in a couple sentences. We are all friends here

No, please tell me! I want to engage with people, I'm so lonely T_T.

lahabrea feels like prometheus due to being associated with fire a lot and giving the garleans the ultimate weapon, not sure about the rest

That fits so well. I hope it is!

That makes a lot of sense! I'm hoping we find out more in pandaemonium.

Gaia isn't a Goddess. She's a Titan, the progenitor race of the Gods.

The Titans were Gods (and Godesses). Not Olympian Gods, but Gods nonetheless.

Also I lack a citation but I'm pretty sure Michael-Christopher Koji Fox or Yoshi already poured cold water over the 'the real names of the Convocation members were all named after Greek gods/figures from Greek mythology' idea... before the revelation about Loghrif and Mitron. So that statement may have been a red herring... or Gaia and Artemis were just coincidences.

I mean, Hythlodaeus has a Greek name also.... however his name comes from Thomas More's Utopia and actually means literally 'speaker of nonsense' (in Utopia it was the surname of a philosopher who supposedly washed up on the eponymous island and whose report More supposedly was narrating, and his name as such was essentially a coded joke - interesting tidbit is that Amaurot and the various districts of it are also taken from the same book, Amaurot itself being the name of Utopia's capital city), so don't take too much stock in Hades' name being from Greek myth also therefore has to mean every Ascian had a Greek name accordingly.

Really, Emet being Hades was probably more simply to reference the reoccuring FF summon of the same name in my personal opinion - it's why Emet-as-Hades' final attack in the Dying Gasp was Black Cauldron after all.

I know for sure there's a George and a Ralph.
