In 2.0

Except a majority of the community, aside from the uppity anally frustrated FFXI players calls them by their FFXI names. Roegadyn don't have tails. Miqo'te aren't nearly as furry. Lalafell don't look like horrid gremlin. Elezen players are far more annoying than in XI. Hyurs and Humes are the only ones who would be fine with a name change, but with the game's preexisting lore, why bother? Hyur isn't exactly difficult to pronounce. None of the names are. Move on. The setting and background for each race is entirely different.

By "the majority of the community" you mean yourself and about 5 other angry lore loving forum goers? You seem to be the one acting anally frustrated, and I would venture to guess the actually majority of the community could care less what they're called.

I recant my original post, there are people with the opposing view who obviously have way stronger feelings on the subject than me. My original comment was just a flippant remark to pass the time but a few people here got down to serious business... I'm expecting death threats PMed to me any moment now.

I'm personally in favor of renaming them Human, Cat People, Hobbits, Elves and Big Angry Looking Blobs.

I can Pronounce them.. I just can;t Spell them right ~.~. I feel like a Retard when I say "Male Cats" instead of Mi'qote.....

Miqo'te, indeed

FF14 galkas even have the "pet name" thing going on. FF11 players will know what that's all about, but is it even mentioned ingame in FF14?

Only the Hellsguard use those names, since they're easier for the other races to prononce. Seawolves use the Askdjgbso names.

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.

Are there red Galkas in FF XI?

I still miss the Screenshot of the FFXI-Highlander... since we have same Races in FFXI and FFXIV. lol

/sarcasm

Not to mention the Female Highlander, Female Roedygan, Male Mi'quote in 2.0

I like the new names. I think they are more inspired and creative than they were in XI.

[Quietus]

Let's call ul'dah bastok.

On a serious note though, it was a bad idea to basically make the same races and call em something different. I wouldn't be upset either way at this point though.
