I like that more than playa. I was trying to see how Latin would fit into this but could only come up with Spanish. Thank you!

Ludor is Player in Latin, Ludor is Luxord without the X. Luxord is the Player

Persona 4 MC’s canon name is Yu so them addressing “you” a lot of the time works out.

Not only that, it fits with the protagonist being called "you" instead of by their name in some games where you choose the main character's name.

I know Persona has the voiced characters often say "you", "him", and "this guy" despite the text on the screen displaying your chosen name. So being called "Yu" fits since it sounds like "you".

I like the idea of Player being named "Yu". It's a gender-neutral name in Japanese easily gets across the message that the character is a player-insert.

It just came to me, but it would be really cool if Square does a play on for Player’s name. Like, the only way it’ll make sense is if Player is called “Playa” which means beach in Spanish. I dunno just a cool thought.

Regarding player’s name…
