The names that we’ve decided to go with for Final Fantasy XIV, are based off of ones that were prevalent between the 16th and 18th centuries. Does this mean that you can name your Auri warrior after your favorite anime character and still be within the boundaries of Raen naming conventions? Prrrrrrobably not-the main reason being because the names used in a lot of modern manga/anime are just that: modern. If Raen names are based on Japanese names, does this mean that you can name your Auri warrior after your favorite anime character? Of course! You’ve always been able to do that. Only on rare occasions will one emerge from the valley mists to seek adventure in realms afar. Unlike their sister clan, the Xaela, who bloody the land with endless tribal conflict, the Raen have embraced a life of tranquility and solitude, long abandoning the nomadic lifestyle of their ancestors to settle the deep valleys of Othard's mountainous eastern reaches. The Raen believe their veins to run thick with the blood of the former─their brilliant white scales and iron wills serving as proof of this divine lineage. We’ll touch more on that in the detailed descriptions of each clan’s rules.Īuri creation myth tells of a Dawn Father and a Dusk Mother from whom all Au Ra are descended.
However, as is the case with Hyuran names, we have chosen to use names/spellings that slightly different than their modern equivalents. The second clan-the Xaela-take theirs from Mongolian. So, which Earth languages are we borrowing names from? Well, as most of you have already figured out, the Raen (Yugiri’s clan) borrows their names from Japanese. I say (almost), because we have taken some liberties with spellings to ensure that some possibly offensive letter combinations are avoided. The Auri naming conventions (as a whole) are similar to those of the Hyur, in that, instead of creating a new language for the race (as was done with the Miqo'te) or taking and tweaking a rule set for an existing Earth language (as was done with the Elezen) or a doing a little bit of both (as was done with the Roegadyn), we decided to use existing Earth names (almost) as-is. There are anywhere from five to ten thousand combinations available in the generator’s database, and I’d highly recommend using the feature if you’re serious about choosing a name that feels authentic. The name generator is a great way to see some example of both fore- and surnames that follow the naming conventions for the race & clan you have chosen.
Before I start, I’d like to bring up an oft-forgotten feature implemented at the release of A Realm Reborn-the Character Creation name generator.
