No. Hyur, Mi'qote, Lalafell, Elezen and Roegadyn sound way better. Sure XI players refer to them as such, but I generally call them by their new and proper names over the XI counterparts unless I am talking to an old XI buddy then it just feels natural. Though to all the people that never touched XI that doesn't make much sense to them.Quote:

08-03-2012, 07:00 AMStarlordYeah and somehow it turned from Names of the Characters problem and turned it into omg the names are breaking the game :P. ( I didn't read the whole thread.. didn't want to read all the Garbage :P).Quote:

On the other hand tarus are way more creepy in XIV than they were in XI especially the ones with a mustache ><Quote:

I'm sure you're aware of that though, as if you wouldn't have taken the time to at least power read through it I doubt you would have taken the time to make a facetious post to express your frustration on the subject.Quote:

Keep FFXI to its own Unique self, and let FFXIV be Unique as well.. you know.. that is how FF games are anyways right? Unique? -
08-03-2012, 07:09 AMMijinAh so you did play XI then :DQuote:

We already call them taru, elvaan, hume, mithra, galka.... no need to change the names. They (new race names) were never important.

08-03-2012, 07:26 AMMijinWell according to some people round these parts no one calls them that, but in the event someone did, it would apparently be a horrible sin punishable by death.Quote:

No where did i read that anyone who does should killed. Theres no need to infer that your being persecuted because people disagree with your opinion.
I've overheard plenty of FF11 vets in my LS refer to FF14 races as FF11 races. It doesn't bother me. But that is not what the OP put up for request/discussion. And thats why i disagree with the OP's request.
As to the reply about FF14 going in the wrong direction now i really can't say. I came here at the start of 2012. What i can say is that from my perspective, i've enjoyed the direction so far with each patch.
And before you "request" i go back to WOW. If i was to "go back" that would land me in EVE-Online. Blanket assumptions do no one any good. -
08-03-2012, 07:55 AMMijinWell I was the OP, and what everyone seems to miss is the point that this whole thread was just a flippant comment. I was just sort of looking to see how many other people called them by their own names. I know they'll never change the names, I was just being silly. I do prefer the old names though, but maybe only because of nostalgia.Quote:

It was really wild, and kind of amusing. I would never imagined people feel strongly about something so frivolous. After seeing how strongly people feel, I hope they don't ever change the names... apparently some people would really be emotional wrecks over it.
And I would never request for anyone to go back to wow... what kind of heartless monster would do something like that?
