Definitely include manuals from other regions! One of the greatest games of the 1990s, Secret of Mana, the characters did not have names โ€” outside Japan. Once we all got online and we found out about Seiken Densetsu 2 (lit: Legend of the Holy Sword 2), we learned their names. The boy is Randi (not Randy, but the feminine version), the girl is Primm, and the little faerie/sprite girl is Popoi (which I guess is meant to be pronounced Poppy?).
