Durandal? Seriously?

[Zozor]

This is one of the worst names for a world I've ever encountered. I understand that they need to name us something but in a lifetime of Final Fantasy I've not spoken a word that caused my mouth so much distress as Durandal. It's exactly the sort of word that people who don't play MMOs laugh at and people who do play MMOs are ashamed to say out loud. If I said it on a bus I'd feel fat and I'm sure my skin would get blotchy.

It may be OK for the Cornelia people but for us on Rab I'd have to protest. Surely a different name would be more appropriate. In fact just keep it at Rabanastre. The Cornelia people can assimilate.

Everything is said in the OP. It's the word itself which is bad.

Duran Duran.

Your server nickname is Duran Duran. And if they can't appreciate Ordinary World... Well, they should be more concerned about themselves at that point.

sry i still dont understand whats wrong with the name or word. durandal is the name of Rolands sword. is it offensive in any language? or why is it causing you distress?
And why should people laugh because of it? And even if they laugh, why should you care?

I also don't understand. If someone doesn't play MMOs, he wouldn't need to mention his server name. And even if he did, Durandal is almost synonymous with "indestructible" with military weapons named after it.
