One Steve Limit/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Shining Force]]'' games love to recycle names. Not just common names like Max or Arthur, but also more oddball ones like Hig(g)ins.<ref>Higgins (two "Gs") is a Paladin in ''Shining Force II'', while Higins (one "G") is a Ninja in ''Shining Force Gaiden II''</ref>

* ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' has an interesting example of a by-product of this: While Raine claims that {{spoiler|Mithos}} is a common male name the {{spoiler|"Mithos is THE Mithos"}} revelation is pretty transpartent because you never actually meet anyone with that name other than him (and judging by Genis's reaction, the party didn't "off screen" either). A similar example is when Zelos becomes suspicious of Regal's identity and admits that he's wondering if he's "that Regal or not", he is, and you never meet anyone else with that name.

* The original ''[[Double Dragon]]'' has Billy Lee (the Player 1 character), Williams (an enemy [[Mook]]) and Willy (the final boss, often [[Fan Nickname|nicknamed]] "Machine Gun Willy" to avoid confusion). All of them being variants of the name "William" (although "Williams" is technically a surname).

** While the first game featured a [[Giant Mook]] named Abobo, ''Double Dragon II: The Revenge'' featured two other ones named Bolo and Abore, although the former looks exactly like Abobo, but with long hair (to the point that he is even listed as "Abobo" in the Mega Drive version).
