Why is there no “The Black” title?

[CatStarPrime]

At least, in North America and Western Europe, “the Black” indicates someone Evil.

Black Edward, Nicholas the Black - it doesn’t mean you’re dark-skinned, it means you’re a Villain.

Black-hearted, Black-souled, dirty Blackguard...

And here, in FFXIV, we are all Heroes.

So. We can be Edgy, we can be Dark, but, we can’t be Black.

I'm pretty sure we are "of the Black" though. Idk if we actually get it as a title, but I remember the NPCs referring to me as "Faye of the Black" during the BLM class quests. Will see if I can get a quote later ...

And it kinda works bc of the stigma associated with Black Magic. It's a whole theme of the BLM quests.

I believe that's what Shantotto called us in 70 level job quest after last fight. So aye, while there's no wearable title (for whatever reason), the BLM players are "of the Black".

We do have a "Blackblood" title though. Dark Knights.
