Sell Fantasia on the Mogstation

You're aware that you can set restrictions per bank tab, right? You're aware that it's the Free Company leader's responsibility to designate access to trustworthy individuals, right? You're aware that stealing items in this matter risks account termination, right? You're aware that even though there are already methods to do what you're afraid of people doing - you're asking SE to screw over innocent players that might have legitimate reasons for name changes such as roleplayers, .....right? Lol.

An online handle is what it is, you picked it, you live with it so other people know who you are. If you don't like it, then stick to 4chan. Online identity is an important thing that shouldn't be so easily modified. I can't see your face, so your name is your identification.

Ninja lotting, FC bank stealing, anything to discourage activities like that is more important than some RP player needing to change their name. Having your name be stuck to you forever is an important deterrent. When *some* people are able to become anonymous on the internet they turn into idiots.

Then I would assume, you would be comfortable with a requirement to use your real name? Like what blizzard was going to do with their forums a while back?

My god man you need to get with the times. This is 2013 and we are playing a modern day MMO. NEWS FLASH: This isn't FFXI. Name changes or not you're still going to have inconsiderate dicks that will do as they please. You're proof of this. I can get a name change in real life but you're telling me I can't in a video game because someone might steal your crap? Get over yourself. Stop trying to dictate how people play the damn game. You were probably one of the people that were against jumping because you didn't like to look at it.

Tell you what, the moment you start paying for my subscription is the moment I will let you decide how I play this game. Deal? Until then I will be looking toward to SE giving people the option to change their names. You know why? Because its a fucking video game that I pay for and I can do whatever the fuck I damn well please. If people decide they want to screw over other players so be it, there is always a concequence. With features like vote to kick coming we will see this less and less.

I would also like to point out that SE was hesitant to allow name changes for legacy players because it might wipe friends lists. They managed to pull it all off without repercussions. This goes for the blacklist too. If they allowed race and name changes for legacy players I don't see why the hell not offer them for everyone.

There will ALWAYS be people who will abuse name changes and world transfers to do stuff like that which you mentioned.

Because one pupil didn't do their homework, should the entire class be punished? No, that would be extremely unfair.

How are you being punished for using the name that you chose? That's not a feature of the game at all. This is saying you are being punished because you can't use a flightstick to play the game.

Dont get scammed and try to ruin everyone else's choices then.

The statement has been made, they want to offer it to us. I'm going to use this feature should I feel my new character look does not suit it.

That's not what I said. No-one is being 'punished' for choosing their name, they're being given an optional service to change if they want. I don't see why you're crying over spilt milk about something that's going to happen whether you like it or not.


Some people may have chosen a gender specific or lore-specific name for their character, which wouldn't fit a new race (cue the Fantasia potions), so they may want to change names.

Square Enix aren't going to remove a service because a few 'bad people' change their name.

They haven't added it as a service yet. And until they do and possibly even after they do, I'll continue to post how I think it's a terrible idea.
