In 2.0

Seriously? No. The game is two years old already. Get over it already. XIV is not XI, and XI is not XIV. As it is, why would you call Roegadyn "Galka?" Other than hairstyle and filling the "hulking brute" spot, they don't look alike.

I mean minus the tail... they look exactly the same...

Thanks for clearing that up. Roman numerals are hard.

Yeah you're right... They are nothing alike. Forum user, you've shown me the light! How could have I ever been so facetious as to make lite of such a serious issue, to think all of the people I've hurt. You obviously take naming very seriously, I'm sorry to have crushed you like this by comparing two things that are OBVIOUSLY so different.

Why change names anyway? The names we have now are the names of the races we have here. I didn't play XI so i suppose my opinion here has no value to some.

I made a FF14 account to play FF14.
I play FF14 cause i like FF14 enough to keep playing.
If i wanted or want to play FF11 i would be playing FF11.

I understand liking a game you've played before..alot. This isn't that game.
If i was on FF11 forums asking to have things in FF11 changed to things in FF14. I somehow doubt you'd appritiate that.

I like hearing ideas about stuff like mechanics and cool things that can be worked into FF14. Not changing FF14 into the new FF11. This thread is the latter, not the prior.

Don't be silly, people. They're called the same in both games.

It's Hume, Midget, Cat, Elf, and 'Holy Twelve, lay off the cookies already!'

that is all.

All joking aside, and to the OP: no.

When this game originally came out, I was angry about a long list of things, and the names of the races weren't on it. Sure, Roegadyn sounds kinna dumb, but most NPCs in Sandy in XI have keyboard-smash names nobody can pronounce. So whatever.

Despite the fact that the races are practically high-res versions of the XI ones, they are not the same people. They don't live on the same world. Hume =/= Hyur =/= Human from WoW, despite basically looking the same. Likewise, the pointy-eared sort aren't night elves or vulcans or elvaan, but elezen.

I'm glad that Yoshi-P and the devs have spoken about giving races a bit more lore and differentiation. That, imho, is way more important than coming up with a 'pronounceable' name, whatever that means. I'm glad they didn't call them Tarus and Galkas. I don't want them to be Tarus and Galkas -- I want these races to be unique, have unique stories/abilities/quests, etc. I'm for more diversity, not less.

How stupid would it be to call lalas tarus, and then go 'Well, they're tarutaru...except FROM SPACE! and with a vastly different culture/religion/language!'

Lol, yeah I see you're point in literal sense. The humans in Star Wars were still called humans though, HUMANS FROM SPACE! lol so it's been done before. I know they will never really change the names. It's just kind of ironic though that like 95% of the people I talk too call Miqo'te Mithra's. I actually had to look up how to spell Miqo'te when I typed that just now... maybe I'll actually remember it now... doubtful.
