[dev1068] So they want of a different name to replace "Spirit Bond"? Feedback Thread!

・Looking into changing the name of “Spirit Bond.” (This is important, so let’s hear your feedback!)"


What would you like it to be called?

Here's a few I thought about but feel free to come up with more ideas!
*Crystarium
*Sync
*Synergy
*Harmonic Bond

I think Spirit Bond is fine... Not the greatest name ever but there's much worse. I think they used "Attachment Rate" in some discussions, that one sounds less fancy but it suits perfectly fine.

Aether bond/bound

Goes well with the Aetherial crystals no?

Just for your info, the current french name is "symbiosis" (biology term used for a relation between living organisms, which doesn't really makes sense for this system imo).

Personally, I like the name Synergy.

I like Gear Intimity or Intimity Rate

"Synergy" sounds okay to me.

Or how about "covalence"?

AP: Awesomeness Points.

Ghost Adhesive! Ok, maybe not >.> Given the distinct love of archaisms by the localization team, I vote for "Investiture" as it fits the bill of what's happening and is so old a term that it stands out.

Hmm, we have AP already. It's Action Points

I believe Yoshida's post was specifically for the JP side in regards to the name.

Anyway, Spirit Bond is fine.

You mean the likelihood of you and your Gear going to bed together?

I like the sound of that. Giggity.

If that's the direction we're going, might as well call it GP - Gath Points.

Honestly "spirit bond" is fine to me.

Affinity, communion, cheer, accord, concord - points

synonyms for closeness/intimacy

[QUOTE=Volsung;345744synonyms for closeness/intimacy[/QUOTE]

Friendship Points!

Or we could use a song to describe them.

Spirit Conjugation?
Soul Tethering?
That's all I got.

this thread has made me realize how much i actually like the term spirit bond.

What about...

Bacon Charge

I still prefer Synergy, it's a pretty cool name.

Indeed. Have the devs stated exactly why this name needs to be changed?

lol yeah honestly I think Spirit Bond is fine. It's not really necessary to change imo

Reminiscence Bond or something related to memories. :)

Verily, I have reached the apex of my investiture gauge and must needs be rid of this Canvas Hat forthwith! We must needs to maketh the journey to the haberdasher post-haste, so that I might procure one of the velveteen variety whose affinity with mine ownself shall be displayed by a verdant hue.

Haiku'd.

They only want to change it because it rhymes with Spiritgrinding, and they don't want to draw attention to the fact.

Kryst lock

Whatever it is, please not Synergy. It reminds me of Jem.

I don't need to be reminded of Jem when I play FFXIV.

I don't understand the need for this aside from the fact that there's a similar word coming from an ability (Spiritbind)...
Anyways, I guess it must be a synonym of "Bond" if we take into consideration materia craft system's lore and concept.

What about Nexus? u.u'

"Recollection" is my submission.

Recollection Bond?

Recollection points (for the item)
Recollection level (maybe over 100%?)
Recollection affinity (maybe)
Recollection skill (if there is such a thing added later)

Recollection PizzaBaconBeer

/2cents

Politically Correct Gauge Filled!

I'VE GOT IT!




"Conceptual medium"?

Affinity Points and call it AP. Make it like FFIX where part of this system came from anyway.

I like anything that uses a reference to the memory.

Reminiscence and Recollection have already been used and I like them. All that I could come up with is:

Memoria Link (reference to IX and can be used via alliteration with materia)
