The only thing that sucks is that a Linkshell (or other group of people) could collude to pick a certain world to merge to and then announce a different world to the less savory members of their group in order to ditch them. I'm sure this will happen in some form and there will be a lot of QQing when people realize that they moved and none of their 'friends' are in the same world.
I partly agree with this in that they should have new names, you will still get people that flock to specific servers due to nostalgia, but people who arent long time FF fans might go somewhere else.

For example FF9 fans might go to a possible Zidane server, FFIV fans could go to a Kain server, FFVI fans would go to a Bartz server, FFVII fans will go to a cloud server (infact everyone will go to a Cloud server cos he has a big sword!!! (did that sound right?))

To be honest however they did it would make people rage, if they just did a 2 become one type merge people would rage that thier server was going.
