Removal of Surnames

Takes a troll to know a troll.

At least I'm not creating multiple threads to 'discuss' the same pointless concepts of whether having an additional, and occasionally retardified, name behind your first name will detract from the fun and liveliness when all it takes is a few more strokes of the keyboard! Enough is enough. Shut down either thread, or shut down the whole topic altogether.

The best choice is to have a surname for everyone, or for those too lazy to think of a few more letters, an optional choice to NOT have a surname. Topic over. What else is there to discuss? BelgianRofl has already stated as such in his OP, except differently phrased.

No,no no BelgianROFL, surnames are not a problem at all and well there's like 500 reasons why already stated in this thread. If you want some "cool" sounding name like Thor, then i got nothing against that just make the last name a "!"! why ruin all of Ezoreas fun. The biggest problems this games has are silly quests that give no XP from fighting mobs, NO CHOCOBOS OR AIRSHIPS, and all sorts of silly bugs; not to mention my personal issues with the forest map (I usually like the forest maps best in these things...).

So buck up if names are on the top of your issue list then you must be having a blast playing! I wish i could have a middle name (but would be happy to see the option not to)! narf

Surnames should be something you could use ONLY if you really wanted, you know, like a second name to identify you from other people, but not something you MUST input in order to create a character, at first it was very uncomfortable for me to see my character running around with two names, but later on I just got used to it.

I mean I really hate to be the bearer of bad news but your guys ideas are just fantasies. There is no way SE would ever take away surnames or make them optional. The reason being is it would cause more damage to the game to change a system like that, thats already in place than for the people who dont like it to just deal with it or move on to another game. There is NO reason to take away surnames. Three is more benefit to having them than not having them. So if you think its such a wonderful idea to take them away, then how about someone come up with an idea where it wouldn't damage what we already have instead of just repeating what other people say in your own words.

Easy Flower, I was only letting everyone know what I think about it

It's not going to be hard to find a name that is not already in use. It's not like this game is popular anyway.

Funny enough, you need to be creative to come up with a name and surname instead of just a name -- so only people I feel who are in agreement of getting rid of this system can't come up with a creative name.

That's right, personally I SUCK at names and lack of creativity unlike you probably do... so yeah for me it's a pain in the arse to think of TWO names instead of one... but that's not the reason why I think a surname is useless

i dont mind having a surname. I cant see SE removing surnames as it will cause problems. If they did what would happen to people that have the same first name?

That's the reason SE came out with the idea of adding a second name (Surname) :P...

But not everyone likes the idea of having a character with TWO names instead of a single name, personally it doesn't bother me much, except for the fact that I suck at creating a new character with different names each time, So I had to stick with the same surname to "Identify" (And save myself a pain in the..) and so my characters have all the same surname... kind of fun but annoying :/

Anyways I still can't get used to characters having two names, it's too bizarre for me xP
