Removal of Surnames

[Chardrizard]

It's like sitting down with your friend Tom Hanks for a sandwich and saying, "Hey Tom Hanks! What's your favorite sandwich meat, Tom Hanks?"

Or meeting some hot babe at the club. When she asks, "Hey there hot-stuff! What's your name?" To which you reply, "Aldroania Wasakutsumakashima".

Now that's just silly. There's a reason games that are well more populated than FFXIV don't use surnames.

If anything, surnames should be optional, and not required.

there are reasons that FFXIV isnt populated, surnames isnt one of them.
no one has ever complained about surnames before.. until you.

question, do people call you "Belgian ROFL" in game? oh wait. maybe you don't even play do you?
