Honorifics in EXE games
Mar. 30th, 2004 12:35 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Reference Tool: Because I apparently have too much time on my hands, I decided to go back through the EXE games (and just plain through the ones I hadn't finished in Japanese yet) and figure out what everyone calls everyone else. This is through the Quickman battle in EXE 2 and the end of the power plant scenario in EXE 1. Just for grins, I included the first-person pronouns that people use as well.
The format is:
Character's full name, or as close to it as I could get
What they're called: People who call them that

General trends:
Netto almost never uses honorifics. Rockman almost always does, using "-chan" for girls, "-kun" for boys, and "-san" for grownups/grown-up type Navis. He always calls Haruka and Yuuichirou "Mama" and "Papa," even before his true identity is revealed.
Meiru uses honorifics for everyone except Netto, Rockman, and Roll.
Roll is the only one who ever calls Rockman "Rock," and she only does it when talking directly to him. If she's talking about Rockman with someone else, she'll call him "Rockman."
Programs use the -san suffix for everyone, unless they're in Yaito's house, in which case they will use the -sama suffix for her. Glyde follows the same pattern; "-san" for everyone except Yaito, who rates a "-sama."
Blues is not the only one who uses the "-sama" suffix for his Operator. Fireman, Glyde, and Gutsman do it, too.
Navis sometimes use honorifics among themselves (Rockman calling Yaito's Navi "Glyde-san," for instance). Operators, on the other hand, never use honorifics when talking to or referring to their Navis, although the Navis will almost always stick an honorific (usually -san or -sama) onto their Operator's name.
