    Yeah I might go with only those wild options as well ;D

    Anyway my question is, if for example player decide to change her/his name in game, what will happen with Lodestone data like history etc. Will old name still exist on previous data or it will be replaced with new one?

    I really hope name changes are possible someday. My character's first name just isn't right.. doesn't suit her at all. I rellly don't want to remake her and start all over again.

    I get why people would like the name change option, and I'm sure SE does as well BUT it very well may simply not be possible. All of our character data is more than likely currently tied to our names. Therefore, they have to first come up with a system that changes our character data to something else (probably a number ID...similar to a Social Security No) and then we can change our names. However, doing this might compromise ALL of our character datas. So I'm sure SE needs to balance the risk/ease/reward of it all. So again, I get how changing from a Female Kitty named something like Littlemiss Prettypaws into a Big Bulky Male Roe with the same name, really doesn't work, but we might need to work around that a bit.

    This being said, I did read somewhere (maybe in some notes about 2.0) that Yoshi and the dev team are considering dropping surnames from our characters and/or making our names shorter. If this does in fact happen, then everyone will be able to change names as many of us with longer names will be forced to anyway.

    Lastly, while this was true since game release, many forget that SE also told us that while birthday's and god/goddess choices currently do not affect gameplay, that if they ever did, we would be allowed to change this information to fit our characters/play style better.

    Based on the fact that they've said they're considering server merges, it's something that they almost have to make available. True, identical names happen less often with a two-name system, but it still happens often enough. For example, Viridiana Sovari is taken as a name on Lindblum (me), Karnak, Melmond, Selbina, Kashuan, Wutai, and Trabia. If any two of these servers were to merge, we'd need to rename for that, if nothing else.

    Also, a brief shout-out to the Viridiana's of Selbina and Karnak for going with redhead Hyur Female, like the character should be.

    I'm hoping they allow name changes...in case I wasn't clear on that. Just was pointing out SE themselves said they were having issues with it atm. I also posted this before I to read Yoshi's response too possible server merges.
