The sad thing is, the fact that you can roll your face on the keyboard to get a similar sounding name to the XIV names just means we won't remember them.

None of the characters now are memorable except Cid, Thancred, Yshtola, and the Papsmear NPC from Grid... Paplymno? Anyway his name is still difficult to spell.

Its not that I am lazy, but these names aren't even names. Compare these names to other MEMORABLE Final Fantasy characters and notice the difference.

Terra
Cecil
Locke
Edgar
Lightning
Snow
Relm
Kain
Garnet
Squall
Laguna

I just threw out a few, but they all have relatively easy names -- but still unique.

Its like the miserable pirate talk with a thousand apostrophes per sentence. I can't read and logically understand it in enough time to continue on my merry way.

Please ... just name the NPCs something a bit more normal.
