Instead of "Gold Smith Guild" I think it should say the name of the Guild that is known in Eorzea, it'll be a bit confusing at first but it will give the board more life.

So instead of gold smith should be goldsmith ? lol
Seriusly, it's just free confusion. Nobody call the crafting guild with their name -

He means "Esthaime's...something" (can't remember, lol), instead of "Goldsmith guild" for example.

I think they should change the name to those too. get people calling the guilds by their actual names.

no thanks... i don't want to learn weird names, it does not add anything.
It will only result in noobs getting pissed because they can't find anything. -

Keep the lore inside NPC conversations, books and website material, please. The game interface is painful enough already.

They should be using the lore inside the game everywhere more than they do now if anything. -

Why not do both? In UI's it's very easy to have the proper in game name with (GSM) next to it or some such...

04-27-2011, 01:16 AMSojiroAgreed, they could easily add parenthesis to the side for people who don't know the guilds names. All in all its something small, and I wouldn't mind seeing it. Every little touch of lore adds a bit of life to the game.Quote:

I concur. Using the proper guild names would be a nice touch. I wouldn't stop work on the battle system for it, but since we know the Development Team is broken up into sub-teams, I wouldn't mind if the Translation Team took some time to do this for us. It's small, and honestly it's a little too late for us already playing. But for the new guys that start playing with the PS3 release, it would add to the immersion.
Remember, were not only trying to improve this game for us ... but for them too. -

Players now are to lazy to even think in a mmo i don't know why would you even play a mmo and pay money for it. If you have only 1hour per day that only 30hours a month lol. If you really have to dumb it for players with names then god help us all,.

Seriously, I think SE has a translation team obsessed with overcomplicating and elaborating on terms already (this isn't a bad thing), I don't think a few boards are going to cause the end of the immersion you people look for so desperately.
That said, if someone's got a spare 5 minutes to change the text I guess the select few might appreciate it. -

I agree that they could have named them more obviously rather than breaking out the thesaurus. If they had done this then people would have far less of a problem with the idea of using the actual names. I mean, 'Quiver's Hold', sure. But 'Eshtaime's Lapidaries'? What the...
As far as I'm concerned, the guild is a group within a named location. eg. the Musketeer's Guild is found within Coral Tower and Sunsilk Tapestries is a store that also houses the Weaver's Guild. I guess each guild runs a store, and each store houses the guild. But for me, they are two seperate entities, hence there is a guild merchant and a merchant.
So if you're talking a location, talk the location, if you're talking the group, talk the group.
