Leon is *not* a reference to Squall, rather Squall's name is a reference to Lionheart. Keep in mind which game came out first


yes I know what came first I ment Woosely (or who ever else as you stated he was not there) desided to reference him in the remake REMAKE

as you may or may not know Cloud appears in the Anthology version of Final fantasy 5!

There's not much of a difference between Lion- and Leon- if you ask me. I doubt they're trying to reference Squall when they thought of changing it. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Squall's name Leon in his cameo in KH?

So what does this have to do with the price of tea in China? Besides, he only shows up on the "new game/continue" screen for a brief glimpse.

I understand why they shortened Lionheart's name, it wouldn't have fit in the 6 character allowance, and "Lynhrt" would just look BAAAAAAD. As for what was a reference to what..............

FF2 - Lionheart was a character
FF8 - Squall's last name was Leonhart (which would be pretty much the same thing in Japanese)
Kingdom Hearts - Squall felt ashamed of himself and changed his name to Leon
FF2 (FFO remake) - Lionheart's name was truncated to Leon

Just so you know, Leon is a cognate of Lion, the two have the same meaning. The name "Leonard" comes from "Leonardo" which means "leonine" AFAIK. Then again, in reflection, it could be a Germanic thing, since "Leonhart" means "Lionheart" if I recall correctly, and "Leonardo" sounds like it could be a cognate of "Leonhart".
