This thread sort of crosses over between two games in a messy kind of way, so any of the mods who can think of a better place for this, by all means please move it. I couldn't decide whether to put this in the IX subforum or the XIII one or somewhere entirely different, and have copied and pasted this three times now.
Regarding Garnet's first name, I've never seen anyone mention it on any Final Fantasy forum anywhere but obviously it's on the wiki, so I want to know whether it's something people here have bothered to do the work to find out for themselves as I did. And obviously you'd only bother once.
There's a sidequest at the beginning of Disk 4, at the end of which you find that Dagger's real first name is Sarah. Amongst all the older-sounding names of the rest of the main characters in IX, I've always thought that Sarah was a weird name to put in amongst them - even though you have to work a little to get it. And since I've been playing XIII as of last night, I was wondering whether Serah in XIII is a reference back to Princess Garnet in IX?
If so, are there any other points or little references to the other games within XIII? So far, I'm enjoying XIII as long as I don't link it with anything that came before it, and there don't seem to be many references so far to its predecessors, but maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, or simply haven't beaten enough of it yet.
