I wish to have my name stricken from the legacy credits

Please understand this is not intended as a "quit" thread. I have not been overly affected by login issues, I am unable to continue playing the game because Digital River won't send me my retail copy.

The situation keeps escalating and I have to register complaints against SE and DR. As such, I want my name stricken from the legacy credits in game so as it will not serve as an endorsement or association with either of these companies. Also, SE did not input the name I provided them and instead placed a legal billing name onto the credits.

Please provide me with some contact info about having my name removed.

Lmao, are you being serious right now? Holy fuck, the amount of whiny children on this forum is phenomenal... Why don't you cancel your copy, and just pick it up somewhere else?

I don't see why my question warrants an insult. Its my name and I want it removed.

As for your question, the copy I ordered is no longer available except through private sale at 4x the cost.

I just picked up a few copies at Gamestop yesterday, so unless you ordered the super duper deluxe edition that comes with an IRL Moogle, idk what you're on about

Wait, wait, wait.

What name did you give them? Was it anything that might be deemed inappropriate? I provided my character name because I didn't want my real name anywhere in the game.

Nothing new to see, another whiner. You can justify your whining all you want, I wont be here to read the crap.

Except you were.

i love how you guys can bash the OP calling him a whiner. he stated what he wanted calmly, has his reasons for wanting what he wants, and has not stated that everyone should do the same.
this has probly been one of the most adult posts in these forums these last couple days. cant say its an adult thread, since all these kids came in here.

i personally love the game when i can get in, and while i wouldnt do what your wanting to do i respect it.
i cant help you though kuz i dont know what it is your looking for, gl finding it though.

"It's not working exactly how I think it should so I quit" yeah thats very adult.

I'm not bashing the OP. I just want my question answered. I'm seriously concerned about this. If they 'accidentally' posted my real name, I won't be happy either. =/

Could you elaborate why you would be so upset? I'm trying to understand but I can't. Who the hell is going to know your name is your name? How do you know that there isn't another person who shares your name on that list? Not being an asshole, but even if you were a celebrity why would it matter? Someone going to see your irl name and come kill you? Are you a mob leader? I can''t think of any situation where your name in some credits is going to adversely affect you. Correct me if I'm wrong.

he has his reasons, and hes doing what he needs to do. yes that sounds adult to me.
sounds like your man because his opinion isnt the same as yours, doesnt that make you childish?
until he says that no one should play this game, this game is crap, SE will fail, your all idiots if your not with me, then we have no problem here.
if you cant respect the will of one person for his own reasons then grow up.
stop over simplifying things to get your point across

What he doesnt understand is that he does not have legal rights to the name in the game. As soon as you input a name into an online video game under a specific licensing you lose all privileges and rights to the name unless you can show via court that the specific name in the game is directly attached to your social security.

In other words, by law the name is not your name and square enix can do what they want with it.

I understand why you might say that. Yes, in most situations it would not matter. I am not an incredibly private person, nor am I afraid of someone coming to kill me. I'm also far from a celebrity... But I am a contracted freelance writer, and I do this for a living. My real name appears on educational materials. While I don't think it's necessarily a 'problem' for kids to see that the writer of the book they're reading is associated with a videogame, it's something I would prefer to avoid. I'd like my work life and gaming life to be separate. It is for this reason that I put my online alias and character name rather than my real one. (My real name is incredibly unique. I've only met a handful of people with my first name, and the only people I know of with my last name are directly related to me.)

I don't think it is your place to try to justify the way someone feels. That would be like me calling you names for your current feelings. So I'll try to correct you since you asked, yes you are wrong to say anything you've said as it is based on his personal situation and feeling, not yours.

Thanks for this. I don't mind explaining my own personal situation because my real name ISN'T posted here... but what you say is true. Everyone has their reasons. When SE asked me to input a name for the Legacy credits, I typed in Ryuko Kanzeon. That's the only name that should appear. I'm wondering if the OP accidentally typed in the wrong name, or if he gave a name that was too 'inappropriate' to appear on the roster and SE defaulted to his real name. I've yet to look at the credits myself and see where my name falls, but if SE is 'accidentally' putting the wrong name, this could turn into a big issue -- and yes, a legal one at that. I wouldn't seek legal action but I wouldn't fault others for doing that if SE did in fact accidentally put a bunch of real names in the credits. Of course, I don't know if that's the case yet. I'll have to wait and see.

No, you don't. Expressing one's feelings is never wrong, no matter how wrong their argument is. That being said, I was curious so I asked. Call me a name for what I believe and see what happens. (nothing, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and there is no reason to get bent out of shape over it.)

Opinion- People who spell poorly make themselves look stupid.

I'm not upset that you asked. I'm a pretty open person -- when my real name isn't involved. Others might take your comments as offensive because, "Why should I have to justify my feelings to you!?" You asked an honest question, though. In the world of social networking and all this other junk, why would anyone care about their real name appearing in a videogame? I have a fairly unique situation, though, and I fully admit that.

I'm not mad or trying to belittle anyone, your post just was more understandable than the OP so I just thought I would see what the details were. I can understand your unique situation, although without you telling me I would still not see why anyone would have such a problem. You never know unless you ask.

Very true. Well now you know. :D I'm sure there are a lot of other situations, too... but none that I can think of off of the top of my head.

The only thing I can tell is OP doesn't enjoy the game anyone and doesn't want his name on the credits anymore. That's a reasonable request, even if his name was unique or common. Just because it doesn't make sense, doesn't mean it has to either. This isn't law school where everything has to make sense in the most confusing way :)

I changed my last name, which is VERY specific and not common at all (i.e. everyone else who has this last name I am related to). The word I changed it to is a common last name.

You people need to stop raging at him. If he's had issues and this is what he's decided it's what he decided. This thread was for SE not for all of you to come attack for no reason.

As mentioned above, my name is very specific so yes, it will be recognized. If you must know, I've done some game journalism before and that is another reason why I do not want an endorsement attached to Square.

However, as I said the main reason is I am pursuing complaints against Square and Digital River. I do not want my name in the credits being held against me.

I'm pretty sure that isn't true. Over the years several people in film have taken action to have their names removed from production credits, if not in the current version then in future prints.

MMO's are patched and updated, content is changed regularly, so it stands to reason this could be done.

Good luck with that, since its not going to happen OP.

Well that's upsetting. I wonder why they wouldn't let that go through.
