It's likely space had to be saved, either visually for the GUI or for making the game structure work (maybe names were implemented with a huge array of char variables, with a different name every 8 elements of the array, or something like that).

Cait Sith=9 characters (including the space), while Stray = 5, which is less than 8.
Carbuncle= 9, while Carbunkl=8, which fits the implicit eight parameter.

Just wanted to point out that there was a point to seemingly pointless changes.

This could have been changed to more of a degree than the best friend line. Who cares if it was was a Woolsey creation, killing your best friend for a right price sounds lame because I bet you most of us would do something out of the ordinary-- not necessarily extreme, for the right price. And anybody saying otherwise is full of crap. Locke's situation was crappy in the gba remake because like most of you said, it left out the ambiguity.(spoiler) Locke doesn't seem to really get over Rachel until the after the Phoenix scene. But for him yo hit on her in the wob is just stupid. These changes might take away form the story for those of us who just about memorized each line but FF 6 is great and always will be. Some versions are just better than others. My biggest complain was the music. Damn it all to hell!! Wtf!, the boss music was desecrated and other small changes to other songs made it seem like a crappy dj was messing it up. Dammit! It makes me explode into rage. For shame on the brilliant work of Nobuo Uematsu. All you people saying that you should play the old version and be quiet is just stupid. Most of us--at least me bought this game for the new dungeon and other new espers as well as a different replay value. This made me want to turn the volume down a lot and still angers me to this day. Anybody who wants to talk smack about the music being a lot better needs to listen to the sfc/snes version and then quietly shut up. Yes we wanted to try out the new stuff but we didn't want to be disappointed about the classic either because of certain and sometimes drastic changes.

After meeting Edgar in SNES Miss Branford says something like an ordinary girl would have fallen for him, but I'm hardly an ordinary girl. In advanced she says "Hmm... I suppose a normal girl would have felt something from those words. But...not me..." Urrrrrgh. Furthermore although most music was improved, they ruined the best song, the riding chocobo one. In fact no matter how I try do obtain the song for my ipod, its never as good as snes version They butchered my favorite line.

It's pretty common knowledge that Woolsey translated fast and loose and much of the way the characters are remembered are not how they were depicted in Japan. What remains of the Woolsey script was retained less for accuracy and more because of nostalgia. I think you should compare the cast to the Japanese script and not the Woolsey script.
