Hey, at least Pictomancer doesn't have a cringe name like "Viper"

[Ardeth]

Hot take, I don't like either of them. But Viper looks interesting. Pictomancer looks dumb. But who knows?

I don't really see the issue with Viper, sure vipers are venomous but they're also typically ambush predators and strike pretty fast. Plus, the rotating fangs could be a nod to the transformable weapon Viper uses (and you'll have to pry the Wiper meme out of my cold, dead hands).

Should have called it Monkey since the weapon seems to be based of Zidane who had paired knives/daggers/shortswords along with what FF9 called "theif swords" which were the same weapon created when the 2 swords are combined.

When they say "people will complain about absolutely anything", this forum is a living proof of that, and this thread is an example lol.

Hrm hrm... "Dragoon"

If Dragoon isn't cringe, Viper isn't either.

Dragoon is an actual historical military unit. Viper isn't (unless you're counting fictional stuff because... G.I.Joe)

Square simply took the name and added a dragon theme to it.

These forums really will criticize everything won't they?

"Wiper" will certainly be the more accurate name on launch, because that's what 95% of them will do to your group.

I don't think Viper is cringe name.

Viper is a cool name.

You're just looking for a reason to be mad.
