Mysterious Gundam names?

The Elmeth was supposed to be "Hermes".

"Iris" would have fit a lot better, I feel...

What did you just think they were gibberish invented future names?

And a whole bunch more

Hermes makes perfect sense if you look at Japanese pronunciation though.

Not him but what's wrong with FES?

>An Apsara (also spelled as Apsarasa) is a female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist mythology.

There you go friendo

>>15633238
Nothing, what is wrong is watching a playthrough, let alone one of an RPG, and one like Persona to top it all off.

>>15633238
He's probably wondering why someone would watch a playthrough of a game that just about any computer can emulate. Or maybe because Persona is boring as hell and he's wondering why someone would bother watching someone else play it?

I'm pretty sure Qubeley is supposed to Cybele, an Ancient Anatolian Goddess.

Not an MS but

A Bao A Qu

>A Bao A Qu is a fictional Mewar legendary creature described in Jorge Luis Borges's 1967 Book of Imaginary Beings.

>mfw Borges is referenced in my giant robot cartoon

You'd be surprised the kind of stuff that ends up in japanese media. For example, if you've ever played Breath of Fire II (a SNES RPG), you probably remember the term "Nikanoru" which refers to dead beings. Actually it's "Nicanor", which is the name the Death in the book El Otoño del Patriarca (by Gabriel Garcia Márquez) uses to call people who are going to die.

> Nemo is Latin for "no one."

That's pretty cold.

Not exactly an MS, but what about Bruvictor from SRW BX? I heard this name comes from Celtic myths, but I can't find any connection.

>>15633841
His name comes from Lugh's spear Brionac, and Falsaber comes from Lia Fáil, the stone on which Irish kings were crowned (which is why they insist on writing his name as "Failsaber" even though that just makes everybody who speaks english laugh)
The BX plot about "four treasures" is all about that

>if you look at Japanese pronunciation though
Supposedly the Japanese HQ told the USA branch on the name of the upcoming car through a phone.
It's supposedly named Stallion to make the name in line of mustang and the like.
But due to thick Japanese accented English in the phone, misunderstanding happen and...

The entire MS Gundam OYW is heavily influenced by Robert A. Heinlein's Starship trooper (1959).

My point was that Iris (female) would have been a better mascot than Hermes (male) for the machine piloted by Lalah (female).

>>15633116
I liked Stardust Memory's fauna-themed names.

>>15635175
>Hermes is considered a god of transitions and boundaries. He is described as quick and cunning, moving freely between the worlds of the mortal and divine. He is also portrayed as an emissary and messenger of the gods
This fits Lalah a lot better than Iris.

>>15635268
>Iris is associated with communication, messages, the rainbow and new endeavors. This personification of a rainbow was once described as being a link to the heavens and earth.
>Though Iris was principally associated with communication and messages, she was also believed to aid in the fulfillment of humans' prayers, either by fulfilling them herself or by bringing them to the attention of other deities.

God, do I wish that were the case. My PC runs P4, Raidou, and Nocturne just dandy, but P3FES is like watching my computer get wasted but still try to play video games for me.

"THE O" is a reference to Jupiter, from where Syrupo is from.

>>15632974

It's a conspiracy anon.

>>15633249

You could skip all grinding and dungeon crawling bullshit this way, and it's a godsend considering JRPG battles tend to be weak attempts at padding.

Does this make The-O Fat Debisama Oberon or Smol Nocturne Oberon?

Anon no. Don't do this to yourself. I bet you are going to say P4 was fine as well arn't you?

P2 Duology only for the characters and the story.

P1 was eh and I do appreciate most of P5's soundtrack.
