Square-Enix wants your help to name weapons in Blood of Bahamut
Cool little news bit I read on Famitsu.com. Square-Enix wants some weapon names for their new RPG Blood of Bahamut, so they are asking you, the general public to help them out.

From December 15th to January 4th, Square-Enix Members can submit weapon name ideas. Then Square-Enix will select which ones they want to use, and if yours is chosen:
- Your weapon(s) will appear in the final game!
- Your nickname will appear in the game’s credits! (Square-Enix Members nickname)
You can submit as many ideas as you want. They must be a maximum of 8 characters, and the following writing systems are allowed:
- Hiragana
- Katakana
- Alphanumeric (yes, this is your chance non-Japanese speakers!)
- Joyo Kanji
Sounds like a pretty cool way to be part of the creation process. To send in submissions go to the Blood of Bahamut special page and click the button at the bottom of the disclaimer-looking thing.
If you aren’t a Square-Enix member, you can sign up here for free. You can probably google translate your way through the sign-up process, but if you can’t I might be able to guide you through it if you ask nicely.
How to fill out the Weapon Name submission form
Once you are on the submission page, you will see some radio buttons and 3 text boxes. These are the fields to fill out (Ibuki, Yui and Kamo are character names):
- Choose either a sword for Ibuki, staff for Yui or axe for Kamo (required)
- Enter the name of your weapon (required)
- Write about the story/origin/history or image you have for your weapon (required)
- Write a message for the development team.
After you fill in the fields, hit the button on the bottom. Then it will bring you to a confirmation page and at the bottom you click the button on the right to confirm and submit.
Good luck!
Blood of Bahamut is an RPG for the Nintendo DS and doesn’t yet have a release date.
