Namingway Card items?

I think the nameway cards would be an excellent idea.

Not having the ability to change your name just makes the fantasia potions not very desirable for RPers. I have oft thought of changing my main character's race, but the lack of ability to change his name is often what stays my hand. In this game where every race has very particular naming conventions, it makes it hard to justify an Elezen with a Lala name or a Roe with a decidedly Miquo'te name.

I really hope SE considers adding this service. The system mechanics for it already exist as we have established using the server hop to name change. So all SE has to do is generate a simple object that will trigger this effect artificially or simply trigger it from the moggle store upon purchase of a name change token. (( Log into the store, buy token, select character to apply it too, and upon next log in you would be prompted to change the name just as if you had jumped the toon, simple.))

Well, they already have fantasia potions that you can buy via mog station, so I don't think that would be such a big issue as to how they would set it up for people to buy.

Yeah, but no real "cash shop" - something they've acknowledged and talked about making in a future patch. What I'm saying is that I imagine they'll save it for that, because the current system isn't equipped to properly handle that sorta thing (hence the Fantasia limit).

Just became a Roegadyn...I would like to have a more fitting name to go along with that. I don't know why this isn't something they don't offer on the Mog Station.

Ah yeah, good point. ^^

While we're on this subject, I'm wondering something: Why the purchasing limits on Fantasia?

Some of us...have poor self-discipline...but more importantly, we will still give S-E money.

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.
