Wholeheartedly agreeing on implementing a Name-Change service. Not only for those who wish to change genders, but also for those who want to change race and want a race-specific name. Imagine a Roegadyn with a Lalafell name...

Ok, I know I posted on 4-28-2014, over 5 months ago, but I'm hoping this picks up more traction as we haven't really heard anything about this... And yes, I also posted this in the poll forum as well, but it needs to be said. I will not give up!

There are several reasons for name changes to be legitimately added to the game.

1. With Fantasia potions being able to change race and genders and not names, this causes quite a few people to not bother with the service, as it is aggravating for people who would otherwise want to change their race or gender, but can't because their name is too race or gender specific.

2. With the addition of weddings at this point in the game, where people have spent the last year leveling and gearing a character, simply creating a new character is not a good option. This is rather a personal issue for me, though I know I mustn't be the only one, but when I made my character over a year ago, I did not know that weddings would be added to the game, so I made a male character based on a movie character/actor that I like. Now that weddings are being added, I would much rather marry as a female, and unless I am able to change my name, I will never use the wedding services that are to be provided in the future.

3. Dresses - Another feature that was added later in the game.

4. It will be a huge money generator. Really, Square, there's no reason a modern MMO should not have this as a paid service.

I have been waiting for over 7 months now to hear anything new about a name change service. It seems, however, that this option is something Square is barely taking a serious look at, and I'm losing patience and my love for this game, as I know I won't fully be able to enjoy the features coming in the future.

Is there any new word or reply from a dev about whether or not there will even be a possibility of a name change option? I feel like it would be a good idea since we CAN change genders with the phial of phantasia. Usually, people choose names that suit the way his/her character is portrayed.... This would also be an income generator for SE. I know a lot of people with gender specific names who use the phial of fantasia quite often.

Could we please get an updated official response on this, either a yes or no?

I've been holding out for name changes for a long while but with personal housing coming soon, I'd like to have my name changed before then if there's still no word on a convenient name change service. I'd already have to repurchase my personal FC room by doing the server transfer trick, so I'd like to get that over with before personal housing comes out so I can swap back to Balmung in order to secure the plot of land I've been saving up for.

Usually with patch notes, we don't know what's coming and when the release date is until the day or two before its release. The transfer trick takes three days, and I'd really like to know if we can expect it around 2.4 or alongside the release of personal housing in 2.38.

I don't mind waiting, I just want to know if I'm actually waiting for something.

They really need to release a name change service. Be it free or not I don't care. We need to get a name change service.

[Maunie]

I would like a name change service as well. Why can you change your appearance and not your name?! Please SE!

What's taking so long for this...
