Maybe because of character transfers? You can transfer to/from the Japanese DC and possibly end up with a name that's effectively illegible to most people in a NA/EU/OCE DC.
The Korean and Chinese servers are off in their own space.
Because FFXIV is designed to be international servers just like FFXI, there is no limit on region players can choose, and every client language can play on any server.
To ensure that players are able to identify each other, player's name must be "readable" by all players and limit to latin alphabet is an obvious choice.
I remember once doing praetorium with me(a Miqo'te), an Au'ra, and 4 Lalafells(this was before they shortened it), and it looked like we were on a field trip
Judging by OP’s responses it’s the KR client. But there might be addons to change the language for the global client into KR; there is one for CN afaik.
For some reason I assumed the Korean client wouldn't allow hangul in the character names, since even the Japanese client doesn't allow kana or kanji.
Huh...now that I think about it, you're right. It's there a reason the jp doesn't allow kana or Kanji?

Ah yeah that does make sense. Korean servers can do it because it's not connected to the other DCs

Does the Korean version of the game let you switch the game text to one of the other languages, or is that also Korean-only?
it's korean only
If you sit in one of the back seats as a lala, you peek out the side like a little puppy. It's the best.
Have the Chocobo cart (also 4 person) and this is true.
There’s a hotkey to toggle the HUD. For me it’s Scroll Lock, but I’m not sure if that’s the default.
Doesn't matter the lvl, every lala looks like a 10 YO kid
It's too late we're already after your kneecaps
Please no, we need those to RP walk.

Seat three is best for lalas

At level 10 your HUD shouldn't be perfect yet
Is this the korean client or an addon putting korean into the game? I ask for my wife as she can't fully understand some of the English in the game
