U raise your rank by doing certain things and how u do them. 4 example, when u do the forest owl thing with the train, if u can do it in 1 try, your rank can go up. it all depends. It sorta rewards outstanding work.
u can do the same thing in ff8, when u get shiva, u can name her something that makes Ifrit say something like "They have KFC?" or "they have my dick?" ect, I did. I named some of my characters in 9. i kept Quina and freya the same. The rest r:
Zidane-Geno(He's my friends boyfriend)
Garnet/dagger-Monique(She's my friend and that's her nick name)
vivi-mijo
Eiko-idono
Steiner-Michael
Armarant-eh
:confused: don't know what I was on. I also changed the name in ff7. u can do that with Cait Sith so it can be "My *** is the traitor?" ect oh god, me and my brother and friends were on something.
