Name Your Partner Machinery?

[TheGreyCliche]

I was wondering if it is possible to name your Partner Machinery. Because your PM has a name in offline mode (PETE), is it possible to name your personal one in online mode?

I think it would be a nice way to personalize your PM and let him work with your character.

For instance, my beast characters name is going to by Lycan (I'm a big werewolf fan), and i thought it would be cool if i could name his PM "MOON".

Let me know what you guys think.

[TheGreyCliche]

Oh, and if you could, what would you guys name your PM?

Indeed, it is. In the PM main menu, there is an option to change its name to whatever you want.

[TheGreyCliche]

good news, thanks for the quick response.

[hypersaxon]

My PM is gonna be called... Bot Dude!

[Inazuma]

btw, other players in your "my room" can check your PM's name, stats and boards.

[VioletSkye]

I'm naming mine Mank Loehman http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[ajenteks]

Hmmm... probably gonna be a toss-up between Cockknocker and Bender... or maybe Flexo... yeah.

[Pyronin]

I'll name mine Pypy, my friends used to call me that instead of saying pyronin or pyro.

[FlakariLeader]

I'd name my PM Flascu, Sairyai, or Kiiray.

OMG, WIN. That show was the shit, need it on DVD with JOAT :/

[AzureBlaze]

To Espio Kaos...
You said it would let you change the PM name to whatever you wanted in the menu, which is nice. However, what do they start off being named as? Are they all "Petes", or as it evolves do they get new names like Mag>Vritra>Soma>Bana w/e, and then you can just change it off that name as you go?

I liked the old mag names, so if they weren't like Pete, Bob, Francis, Maurice etc. I might be inclined to not name it anything new. This might also cut down on the confusion when you're talking about the different types, because we know you can own more then 1 PM. (there ARE different types, right? They better not all be damm micro-maids) Was there any evidence of this in the beta?

I can imagine someone like "Did you bring a BarfButton? We're going to the ruins"
"Oh, no I took Felvertine IV, and as you know Felvertines are better at healing"
"No I didn't! Only yours is named that blah!"
Everyone knew what "kama" was for or if you needed a "Sato" for your FO.

[mitchm]

ill name mine Alpha Q NDS FTMFW

As far as I recall, all PMs start off as Pete, and will keep that name until its owner changes it. As a PM evolves, the only designation is has that changes with evolution is its product number. You start off with the base model GH-101, but that can evolve into GH-201, GH-302, etc.

Unfortunately, there wasn't any evidence I came across suggesting different humanoid evolutions of a PM, but I think it's safe to assume that there will be more than the "Mahoromatic" model. I get the feeling that depending on what stats you raise, not only will it affect your PM's synthesis style and success rate, but it may also have an effect on what humanoid form it evolves into.

[-Klaus-]

I'll name mine R2-D2 :]

[turtle323]

ill name mine sato2 or sato the next stage

[Abaru-FP]

I try to stay up to date on PSU features, but I've heard lots of conflicting info on what a PM actually does. Does it move? Does it do anything besides synth?

[tank1]

I think ill name my PM Geemel that sounds like a good name. (to me anyway)

[OdinTyler]

So we really can name our PM? That's great! Gotta spread the news! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Thank you, Espio.

[Ikubi]

I think i'mma name mine Fenrir. <3

[Pure-chan]

I'm naming mine something like 'Slave' or 'Decoy'. As in, "...synth these items for me, Slave!" or "Decoy, stand here and get hit while I run away...". http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[SandstormX]

I was gonna name mine Fenrir too >.<; so I guess i'll just go with Kiripoh, my FFXI mains name.

[SandstormX]

omg I can see it now.. bunch of noobs with Chuck Norris PMs ; ;

[Ikubi]

You can name yours Fenrir too!! That way, our PMs can be twins. XD

[Pyronin]

Horhey ftw! C'mon you just have to love someone named Horhey! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Sevenfold]

Mmm.....sounds spanish.

[Rei-San]

I don't know why, but I think i'll name mine Hanabi. It means fireworks in japanese.

[Abaru-FP]

If mine turns into a frenchmaidbot I'll name it Ann after a character in Dangergirls fanfic.

Seriously, its good >_>

[EnixBelmont]

Something extremely stupid...Maybe Mecha gary coleman, Cyber Bill cosby, Louie Anderson Xtreme, etc.

[xMutex]

AG! okay I pretty much just spent the last 20 minates or so trying to figure out what it's called but I don't know dad doesn't know and no one on msn knows so ya I'd name it what unanswerable questions are called... if you know can you post it for me http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
ex: "what's the sound of 1 hand clapping?"

[Pyronin]

Enigma, conundrum(sp?), unknown, problem, riddle, parable, puzzle, mystery. Thats what I've found in the Thesaurus, not sure if thats what you mean but...wahtever.

[EnixBelmont]

Rhetoric? A question that doesn't require an answer is rhetoric....Probably not what you meant :/

What he means is a question that doesnt have an answer...I think. Maybe another example of what he's asking for is "Whats the meaning of life?", no one knows it and if it does have a meaning then no two people would have the same answer. But lets not talk about life, its too big of a discussion.

[Foxix]

I will probably name mine Canacaeus or something. Possibly Dingo or Foxix.... maybe Chuck Norris
maybe...

I've actually seen someone who can clap with one hand clap with one hand so that is not a good example.

[Foxix]

uhh I don't know what your talking about but clapping with one hand isn't hard http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif I can do it fairly easy actually

[Sinue_v2]

I dunno... depends on how many I have. One will be named Hapsby, though I also might raise a mini-Meiu or Mahoro if they look decent enough.

[Jife_Jifremok]

If I can't think of a good name and it winds up evolving into a maid, it'll simply be Lolibot. Or Megamaid.

[Pheromone]

named... Seltzer

[VR_Pilot]

If my PM evolves into one of those little maid girls, I'll name her Silk, after the fairy in the Cotton series.

[zandra117]

I will make a character named Dr. Montague and my PM will be named Elanor.

there may be... in it's earlier stages. but i have a feeling that all PMs are going to take a humanoid form in their final stage. Because if it is going to gain the ability to fight with you, it must also have the ability to hold weapons and such... i couldn't see a cat holding a sword too well.

NUUUU I wanted to name my PM Gundam Kitty

[Shiro_Ryuu]

I'll probably name my PM's after Shinto gods, or probably Hindue deities(like some of the mags from PSO).

[-memoru-]

from what i see in videos and from what i've seen from a thread up here, the humanoid form will not be the only final form. There are other models.

i would hope so.. but i haven't seen any other form with the ability to fight along side of you. do you know of any screenshots or videos in which a PM NOT in human form is fighting with you?

It's be greatly appreciated.

[Pyronin]

Bob the PM, plain and simple.

[tank1]

What about Bob B*****d thats a name that is sure to get a few lol's while out adventuring.

[Ryoten]

Haven't thought about it yet but I'm might go with Rin.

[The-King]

I'm naming my Character Yang Y.(In memeory of my PSO character who was obliterated) and my PM Dark Seraphim

[SandstormX]

I was looking for information on this, but I didnt see anything, but you know how theres mag cells? Are there gonna be PM cells? I could see the potential in those. A PM that was evolved by a PM cell probably could make even rarer stuff. We'd prbably have to wait til like xmas to see the xmas rapukas.

[SandstormX]

It would be kool to have a rare PM runnin around with you in battle. Can you imagine a Sonic PM busting out some PA. or even having a character from the storyline as your PM? Posibilities are endless http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

it's too bad there's hardly any good martial arts movies these days.

even Jet Li's new movies are hit and miss.
