given names onry (Yes, please!)

Also, how you suppose to tell someone if you can't read his surname ? :|

[Shika]

You can turn names off... and no, I don't want just one name. ^^

Isn't the thread title a little offensive to the Japanese?

If this wasn't intentional I apologize however.

I think he means toggle last names on/off. so anyone wanting to see last names can, but those who wish to not see last names don't need to. I'm happy with that as an idea.

Communicating to that person would be a bit more vague, we can already change fonts in game, if the names bother you that much you can toggle the whole name off.

Why not just have the option to toggle last names, toggle your own name (I know who I am, I dont need my name there) and a size toggle, so if you want to see the last name but think names clutter the screen (I do) you can resize names to make them smaller.

Having toggle options will make everyone happy, those who like it the way it is will stay happy and those who want the options toggled will be happy, everyone wins!

Ahh yea, didn't think about that, no one would be able to /tell each other without knowing the last name lol

I am indifferent to this particular situation really but as someone pointed out, you can toggle names on and off.
Considering we already have the above feature in place, it wouldn't harm the game in any form to have a toggle for last names.

I don't approve because:

(00:01)Renshi Hyatsuki: Hey Sephiroth, sup!
(00:02)Sephiroth: Hey Ren!
(00:02)Sephiroth: Meh, doing good. What about ya?
(00:02)Sephiroth: sup
(00:02)Sephiroth: bah...
(00:02)Sephiroth: Sup
(00:02)Sephiroth: Sup!

And I wonder how would it take place, because there are so many players here that you just can't remove surnames. Technically talking, you'll have database exceptions all over it.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that the OP meant by "option", they meant to only toggle off last names for him/her.
Of course it would be ridiculous if it turned off their surname for everyone.

If such a feature were to be put in place, it would work like the current toggle for turning names on or off like we currently have.
