well seeing as I'm not in the Beta, I've been scrounging as much info as I can from various people / resources. And for those of us who aren't in the Beta, here's a bit of info on the Bazaar system.
Retainers are free characters that come with your main character. That said, they likely are exempt from normal character rules. Probably did the single name thing as a way to distinguish bazaar characters from actual characters. You can see in the background that one player has a white name and a first and last name so that feature is still in play.
Hmm they only have one name? I havent been keeping up to date with XIV, i thought you were forced to have 2 names.
If you read the thing on it, I assume those are basically ... NPCs that are put up by the player, to bazaar things while I guess you are either offline, or away doing quests or whatnot.
It was pretty cool, I wondered thru it for a while looking at the bazaars. It was a bit confusing at first, but it's like rolanberry fields cept you don't have to actually be there or stay logged in XD But I see that becoming waaay over crowded... They do however give you plenty of instances though (7 i think?)
