Tai lived in a tiny village out in the boonies of the East Shroud near the ocean. She's a country bumpkin, but she's been living in Gridania for a bit, working as an apothecary. I figure, the moonkitty dialect of Eorzean would be significantly different from general Eorzean spoken in Gridania - and probly other moonkitty tribes/villages as well. Kinda like my previous example of Hokkaido/Yokohama Japanese being different than standard Japanese found in Tokyo.
I supppose I could just talk like Boomhauer from King of the Hill...
You could also try maybe something like a Louisiana accent. LaPlace has an interesting one-- it's not really Cajun but it's not a twang either. There are a lot of Southern accents that aren't Texan. North Carolina's got an interesting one, then there's the Georgia drawl, etc. etc.

Hmm i never thought of Cajun, I can see that working for the moonkitty accent actually. I'll have to check it out tomorrow.

Cajun, as I've seen it RPed has a tendency to turn into Jamaican real quick. Generalizing is bad, I sorry, but I dunno what other names a 'Jamaican' accent goes by. I could also see it working for an Ele.

North Carolina's got a slur. Â As in the words run into each other like a 100-car pile up in winter in Wisconsin.
