Just created a female cat just to try:

I...

I just don't know anymore..., I never want to play a female character on a MMO, but I don't know now lol

Femcat is going to be my first female character in an MMO too.
 
#TeamNamingConventions

Making a roe with a first name of Blaetrhot.

My main's first name is arguably outside of conventions but the last name fits (moonkitties). My lala alt is gonna have a naming conventions name and last night I came up with a sea wolf name I like so if I get the altitis bug badly enough I might make one to use that name...

....or use it on my lalafell and come up with some reason why she uses it instead (the ol' easy-way-out raised-by-pirates excuse?)... that might be fun, especially because the name is partially an obscure reference joke and would fit better on a lala...
 
I think I'll just use my actual first name while taking a last name from this generator. The problem is finding a last name that sounds right...
 
That's what I was thinking, but that tooltip says level 1. Anyways if they don't, that means ACN doesn't get heals until 30.

I guess is lvl 1 so even if SCH gets level synced to lower to 30 they can use the fairy.

I just did a Elezen female:

lol it gets harder and harder to choose one character.

some of these names are gonna be fun to pronounce over voice chat

"Dick Hardy, use full thrust on that Lalafell add!"
 
<tries the name generator out...>

Male Highlander - Hardwin Dragonsoul
Female Highlander - Emy Fireblood
Male Hellsguard - Silver Rock
Female Hellguard - Howling Breeze

...I'm okay with this generator. =)
 
Well aren't all the "adventurers" not really from the area that the game takes place in? Who knows what the naming conventions are where they are from.
They're actually from the Empire and were drugged and brainwashed into believing it's their destiny to save the Eorzea when really they're to meet up with the Empire's double agents, the Scion of the Seventh Dawn, and destroy the Primals and Beastmen to rid Eorzea of their last major line of the defense against the Empire.
when does P4 start?
(Be neat if someone could edit the thread title to say) Phase 4 date's gonna be announced on the eighth.

The naming conventions are maintained more according to race/heritage than by area, I think.

Even if that's not true, if we want to focus on the fact that the adventurers aren't really from the main cities (as shown by the intros) it would make an even stronger case for the naming conventions to apply since it's likely your PC came either from their race/tribe's homeland or some smaller community in the countryside closer to the immediate game area where the racial naming conventions would be an even bigger deal (more insular community, especially for races like miqo'te). Those conventions, if anything, apply more to where your characters are from than they do to than they would if your character actually started out as a resident of one of the cities with such a mixed population.

FFXIV 1.0 was the first MMO that made me switch from playing male characters to exclusively female characters. SWTOR made my choice even more obvious because most of the female voice actors were so much better than the male equivalents.
 
This is one of the characters I made during the last beta. Anyone else think she looks like Amanda Seyfried?


As for my actual main character, I'm torn between these two:

I've been planning on going with a Miqo'te since FFXIV 1.0 was first announced in 2009, but I spent most of the beta playing as that midlander and I really liked the way she looked.

I'd play that. :)
 
Well, ESO looks awful. How about that FFXIV?

For a PC only game dosn't look very good, both in the art department and the pure graphics department. Overall I like ARR way more, the only advantage ESO seems to have is the seamless world which for some people may be a big deal.

All this from a tech standpoint.
