Lazy?
'Everyone' does not call them the incorrect name. Congrats on being incapable of remembering a few words.
Wow... I am more shocked that people don't know how to spell the names yet.

I like Miqo'te out of all the current race names. I think it is very appropriate for a cat race. I think if changed now it may make it a bit chaotic for a while.
While everyone is add it why not add a tail feature for the Roegadyn's under character creation :P

I remember them, not that I care enough to. I'm just not about to start changing my vocabulary on the races I've called by the same names for 9 years to appease a bunch of noobs rolling in from WoW. Savvy?
You're right I misspoke, "Everyone" doesn't call them by their original names, only skilled veterans who exceed at winning do.![]()

Doesn't really matter to be honest. Those who want to call them Mithras, Galkas, etc. you can still call them that without there needing an official change in names. Because deep down we all know they are just copies of the XI's versions xD.
Miqo'te = "Mi-ko-tay"
Roegadyn= "Row-ga-din"
Hyur = (an easier one to pronounce lolz) "H+yer"
Lalafell = (again, self explanatory) "La-La-fell"
Elezen= "Ell-ih/eh-zen" (depending on your accent)
In case anyone is really losing sleep over pronunciations-issues, here. x3
After level 30 they started calling Thaumaturge, Black Mage and Conjurer, White Mage like they should have in the beginning so anything is possible.
I vote for Human, Catwoman (includes the males), Gnome, Wood Elf and Big Dwarf.
I'm perfectly fine with Hyur, Miqo'te, Lalafell, Elezen and Roegadyn though. I may have played XI for several years, and at first used to refer to the races in X|V as Hume, Mithra, Tarutaru, Elvaan and Galka, but over time I've quickly enough stopped naming them as such, and are referring to them by their X|V names.
Honestly I prefer Roegadyn over Galka. I like the way it sounds and Galka have such a bad rep from FFXI due to dumb fact that they were asexual and lets not get started on how the game made them out to be slaves and poor. THAT does NOT belong in a game! Sadly seems like people think since its a game then they can make racist comments and it should be funny... not the case.
