    Software Application

    Don't know if FFXIV Loc team can really do anything about this, but I wanted to point out that the name of the new security token App is kind of redundant.

    The words 'Software' and 'Application' are sort of the same thing in English.

    Also removing the word 'Security' from the name, kind makes you wonder exactly what this app does, if you didn't already know about Security Tokens.

    I think the name should be changed to "The Square Enix Security Token Application". Or just, "The Square Enix Security Application"

    I read it more as meaning: This is the Token Application for Square Enix Software.

    Though they do kinda mean the same thing, the context denotes their meaning pretty well and it would be nice to have Security in the name. :3

    Excellent point, Zetsumei.

    Unfortunately, LOC's hands are tied.

    Our team didn't have any say in the naming of the app, so we were just as surprised as you when we got the request to translate the topics introducing it. We'll mention your concern to the team in charge, but there's probably little we can do.

    If Mar*o isn't their last name, then why are they called Mar*o Brothers?

    Uh... You do know this is 1.99 for the first minute and .99 for each additional minute, right?
