Thread: A better name for FFXIV 2.0?

Do you guys think SE should come up with a better/more catchy name for 2.0?

I mean WoW has a coolness factor to it....like "wow is such a wow game"

However, ARR sounds like "argh" it doesn't sound like an auspicious start for 2.0

Arrrrrrrrr ye matey!

It's called A Realm Reborn, because our realm of Eorzea has come from the verge of destruction to be reborn by the survivors of Bahamut's rage, when I say FFXIV: ARR, I call it Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn, not ARR therefore because of what happened it's a perfect name.

We need better names like Final Fantasy XIV: Wrath of the (insert) or Final Fantasy XIV: Cataclysm...nothing with meaning behind it like Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn or Final Fantasy XIV: Wings of the Goddess..you know, to symbolize a realm rebirth or the fact we, the players (adventurers storywise) are the hope of the goddess to protect the world etc.

I still just call it "fourteen". My friends who don't play it know what I mean by that. Not many (any?) other mainstream games have reached that number in their series.

I think when/if they see "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn" being advertised, they will most likely consider that it's an expansion, unless they care to remember that I've mentioned it's being remade.

I know, it's not like Wrath of the Lich King involved the...wrath of...the lich king! Or Cataclysm being based around a cataclysmic event! Final Fantasy invented original names!

I see what you mean, also whenever I told friends about FFXIV their big beef with it was that it shouldn't have been a numbered Final Fantasy, they said they'd have prefered if it was just Final Fantasy Online or something. (Though people had the same issue with XI)
