Time to update those nicknames! Shonen Jump reveals the formal name of some of the characters in the Fabula Nova Crystallis games.

For the PS3 and Xbox 360's Final Fantasy XIII, the name of the guy who looks like a long-haired Seifer (and whom many have dubbed as "Mr. 33cm" because of his shoe size) is apparently Snow. I wonder if his family name is White. Moving on. Let's hope Pigtailed Girl gets a formal name soon as well (then again maybe not - "Pigtailed Girl" sounds fine as it is; I can live with that).

Meanwhile, the two characters in Versus XIII also get some names - full names actually. The guy is Noctis Lucius Cheram - or just Noct, for short - and the girl is Stella Nox Fulure.

Talk about a dichotomous relationship. See, the name Noctis is derived from the same Latin root for "night" and Stella is Latin for "star". Quite possibly, this could hint at some personal struggle (one representing darkness, the other representing light) between the two.

Don't be surprised if the Western release won't have the exact same names though. They could be slightly different when translated to their official English names, as with what happened to Tina/Terra and Aerith/Aeris.

As a parting shot, FF Agito 13 is also included in Shonen Jump's Fabula Nova feature. Not much details for the PSP crowd, I know. But if you want to see more of campus life in pseudo-Balamb, well then there you go: more blond heroes, battle cards, red scarfs and all.

I'm SO much more interested in Vs than I am the regular XIII. Agito looks pretty kewl too, but VS is where it's at.
