It's great that we can teleport between save crystals now, but it would be a very nice addition if you gave the save points more descriptive names when choosing them from the teleport list, such as "Near AH", "Near Mog House", "Near Chateau d'Oraguille" and so on.

I agree so much.
I actually have to save all of the home points with a short description (near MH, AH, etc.) in a notepad. ><

1. Add descriptive names to each of the Home Points.

2. Add a quick menu option for teleporting to other Home Points in the current zone/city, without having to find it in the long list.

3. Add a quick menu option for teleporting to your current Home Point, without having to find it in the long list.

There have been quite a few requests to add names to the various home points, but at this point in time it’s a bit difficult to promise that we’ll do this.

Adding names to all of the home points would require translation into each language as well as changes to the program, which is a considerable volume of work.

Instead of not adding new home points and the new travel system because we can’t do this, we prioritized adding a convenient way to get around, so we appreciate your understanding.

However, we do realize that there are so many home point choices that it can become confusing, so we are currently looking into a format similar to the search menu so you can choose the home points from each region, which we’d like to add some time after the February version update.

Just, please do not make the region selection so vast, keep it basic, like how VW was, where there was a selection for Aht, Tavnazia, or Zilart, rather than Li'Telor, Kolshushu, or Norvallen. This would make it much easier to find the ones you want I think since otherwise you would end up with 1 or 2 Home Points for each region as it is right now, which is in my opinion, fairly bad, possibly even worse than it is right now even.

Also if you could at least somehow make it more easily known what HP is where, that would be great. I mean, even if it is as simplistic as putting something like changing Ru'Aun Gardens HP#1 to having it say "Home Point #1: HM" that would be awesome and more help than I can put into words. It seems as though most people, NA, EU, JP, no matter their language or nationality, understand some simple 2 letter english abbreviations such as these,, I see many foreign shouts using these letters in their shouts for this reason. If possible, adding similar things for others would be great as well, for instance, MH, AH, for Mog House and Auction House. I understand if you can't do this, or are unwilling at this time but this really would help out a ton.

This seems a little odd to me. Not sure what program changes are involved in simply changing text, but the HPs that warrant further specification are only in towns or places like Ru'Aun, so it's only a small handful of them. Further, wouldn't something like "Home Point #1 (Auction House)" or "Home Point #2 (Mog House)" be enough of a description? Two or three common words at most. Familiar words that have already been translated, at that.

Named warps were already done with Adoulin's waypoints, strange they weren't added here.

Perhaps the coordinates (ie. F-6) could be added next to them? This wouldn't require any translation and would give you an idea of where on the map you're going.

If you remember the maps by heart, sure :p. I seriously doubt that it is hard to add proper names to them.

Would be totally cool if we could name them ourselves like points on maps XD no auto translate needed there!

regardless, even having them sorted by zone is a help, but yes, as another poster pointed out, even if we could just name them ourselves it would be a help.
