Makes me really sad

Thanks for taking the time to let me know, though!
Name changes will not be allowed at all. They have already answered me on this one. The plans for the future are only to implement an optional service to acquire fantasia, which is cosmetic only. No name changes will be allowed in FF XIV. It was something I was lobbying for, but they smacked that down in an email I asked them in.
