I neither hate nor love FATEs, but I do hate when people are like, "Hahaha nice name man! I hate FATEs too! High five!"

I feel for you.

As for the whole name change thing, Yoshida and Co seem to be suggesting that something in the back end is preventing them from implementing the service, which is entirely plausible given the short time frame they had for completely reworking the game. I think at this point it might be easier if they just have it work like a typical server transfer, where you must be out of a FC, no housing, and you lose your friend's list and blacklist. At that point they'd just be copying the process they use to change names on server transfers, which is an already working system. That would satisfy people for the short term while they work on a more long term solution.
