How Should You Name the Demi-fiend?

Naming is Entirely Up to the Player

Naoki Kashima Demi-fiend Name

This choice is entirely up to the player! Most of the game's new audio lines are independent of the actual name players use.

Text prompts will usually use the first name given by the player at the start.

It really is up to the player what they name their Demi-fiend. After all, you are the Protagonist of SMT3 by controlling our unnamed hero.

First Name is Important

First Name is Important

Your first name is the most important part of the naming process! This is what the game will use for most of the text-dialogue.

When choosing, be sure to think about what name you want to see for your entire playthrough.

Last Name comes First

Last Name Comes First

In Japan the last name comes before the given name. Be aware of this as the prompt asks for your last name first and then your given name.

Nicknames and First Names are Commonly Used

Nickname

While the player will be asked for a nickname, most of the human characters will use the Demi-fiend's first name and nickname interchangeably.

This name is entirely for preference, adding a more personal touch for individual players (or, you can make it the same as the first name for clarity).
