I know this may seem trivial to some, but is there anyone else out there that feels with the current name a bad taste is associated with the game? I'm talking about if you were to put yourself in someone else's shoes - someone who has not been keeping track of the game's fantastic progression towards relaunch.

What I was wondering, if there were any plans to rename FFXIV to something much simpler... essentially "Final Fantasy: Online". I feel this would have a nicer ring to it, and taking it out of the "numbering scheme" could potentially attract non-Final Fantasy players. There are still some people who I speak with day-to-day that are not Final Fantasy players, and have never really followed the genre. Some of them had no idea that FFXIV was even online!

That being said, I personally feel that it would fit so much more if during the 2.0 relaunch, the game was renamed something outside of the numbered franchise. If anything, ditch XIV altogether and keep FFXV named the 15th installment, and just forget XIV ever happened.

Who else feels this could have a positive impact on the game and attract more people? Hopefully, people who otherwise said they would never pick this game up again after 2010's launch, or those who have never played a Final Fantasy.
