Getting rid of surnames

It depends on how you define 'require'. If you mean 'require' as in "I don't need one because Im only interested in level grinding and end-game content with no interest in the story or scope of Eorzea" then no you don't need one.

As I said earlier though, I wouldn't see any harm in having it so you didn't need a surname when creating a character.

You do realise of course that if this change were implimented, you'd have to re-roll all over again :P

who buys from bazaars O_o? thats storage :p xD

Y'know the first names that'd be taken almost immediately would be omgroflmao and pwnedunoob.

This is why I won't support the removal of surnames, it promotes 'WoW elitist' names, which tend to not work or look right when a name must be given with a space inbetween.

Next thing you know you'll be seeing Ihuntu and killudk

i am... not for this.... it would be nice if you could right click over a name to send tell tho like in some other games

EDIT: Also invite to party, linkshell, trade, etc etc etc

Exactly, thats my point =). I don't need, and have never seen a surname as any sort of immersion. For those that 'require' it, I have no problem with that.

And I was kind of hoping this could get thrown in with the PS3 lauch and the new genders we can 1 time change to.

I know what you mean, lost count how many times I've facedesked because I've seen people using names from previous final fantasys.

Have yet to see a Sephiroth though.... probably 'cos he doesn't have a last name XD
