I'm not saying to trash surnames, but give us an option to only show given names.
Showing both given and surnames clutters the screen, IMO.
given names onry (Yes, please!)

Just imagine when you come across several peeps with the same given name.

no, I like my chars full name. Just 'Molly' is too boring.

Is this actually still an issue?
No. A million times no. -

I've actually been trying to get all modern MMOs to use surnames in addition to given names. Really ups the variables to get a name you want and adds to immersion (I'm a Roleplayer). Would be sad to take a step back in that regard with FFXIV.

Anything without xxxSephirothxxx or XxSephir0thxX is fine. Even NPC said so.

No,
The 100 Icons LEFT of my name clutter the screen.
My surname does not. -
08-02-2011, 12:43 PMSeirra_Lanzce
i vote no, i like seeing my full name :X

08-02-2011, 12:49 PMWolfieSame thing that happens IRL? You distinguish them by something other than their name?Quote:

Also, how you suppose to tell someone if you can't read his surname ? :|

You can turn names off... and no, I don't want just one name. ^^

Isn't the thread title a little offensive to the Japanese?
If this wasn't intentional I apologize however. -

I think he means toggle last names on/off. so anyone wanting to see last names can, but those who wish to not see last names don't need to. I'm happy with that as an idea.
-
08-02-2011, 08:56 PMKalleraCommunicating to that person would be a bit more vague, we can already change fonts in game, if the names bother you that much you can toggle the whole name off.Quote:

Why not just have the option to toggle last names, toggle your own name (I know who I am, I dont need my name there) and a size toggle, so if you want to see the last name but think names clutter the screen (I do) you can resize names to make them smaller.
Having toggle options will make everyone happy, those who like it the way it is will stay happy and those who want the options toggled will be happy, everyone wins! -
08-02-2011, 09:32 PMMattyWSAhh yea, didn't think about that, no one would be able to /tell each other without knowing the last name lolQuote:

I am indifferent to this particular situation really but as someone pointed out, you can toggle names on and off.
Considering we already have the above feature in place, it wouldn't harm the game in any form to have a toggle for last names. -
08-02-2011, 09:49 PMRenshi
I don't approve because:
(00:01)Renshi Hyatsuki: Hey Sephiroth, sup!
(00:02)Sephiroth: Hey Ren!
(00:02)Sephiroth: Meh, doing good. What about ya?
(00:02)Sephiroth: sup
(00:02)Sephiroth: bah...
(00:02)Sephiroth: Sup
(00:02)Sephiroth: Sup!
And I wonder how would it take place, because there are so many players here that you just can't remove surnames. Technically talking, you'll have database exceptions all over it. -
08-02-2011, 09:53 PMAdolI think it's pretty safe to assume that the OP meant by "option", they meant to only toggle off last names for him/her.Quote:

If such a feature were to be put in place, it would work like the current toggle for turning names on or off like we currently have. -
08-02-2011, 10:04 PMGalka75
Full name and make bigge. The first name and smaller the surname. We need a minimalistic UI please
-
08-02-2011, 10:06 PMRimmerThey should give us the option to toggle off players names, our own names, mob names and NPC names, currently all you can do is disable every name. I would very much like more options, i know what my damned character is called, i should be able to toggle it off.Quote:

ITT: People who can't read that I said they should add an option, not remove them altogether.

I don't think this is even necessary. Sometimes there can be too many toggles in a game.

I feel the option for characters with linked Final Fantasy XI names should had this.
At least 6 people thought I was a girl because of my Siren server name. bah! -

I have no problem with surnames, I actually like it. Was like oooh me and my wife can get same surname with male/female char (later found out she decided to play Elezen male... lol)
Only thing I would want is easier way to send tell when typing lol but if its friends you can open /flist up and send tell from there... specially hard for those that are like... Masamune Aaaaaaaaaaaa (just example)... -

I also don't have a problem with the surnames, but i would like the option to toggle on/off my own name.
