Quote:My name is Oboro, and she is Tsubame. We hail from a village in Doma, several thousand malms across the sea. We are─ah, but perhaps you have no word for what we are. In our own tongue, one might call us shinobi.
The village is in Doma, but the village isn't Doma. You can double-check the text here.

That seems pretty clear to me then. They even refer to it as a province (which implies a region much larger than just one city).

We don't call people from Limsa Lominsa La Nosceans, nor do we call people from Ul'dah Thanalanians, so why would they be called Domans if it's the name of their region, when every other nationality is named after their ruling city.Quote:My name is Oboro, and she is Tsubame.

Until we know more I still stand by my theory that Doma is the name of the area and the name of the capital at best, similar to Wutai.

probably because it is a country as opposed to a city state?
People from a city state are named after the city state (i.e. florentines, venetian etc)
people from a country are named after the country.
RE: Something Just Occured To Me About Au Ra - Naunet - 01-13-2015
Clearly different government structures, yes.

Maybe the country AND the city are both called Doma. It's a possibility.

For those of you who are expecting changes to the MSQ based off the Au Ra... don't get your hopes up.
Thancred still fights like a gladiator.

It could very well be a country annexed by the Garlean Empire (which is quite large).

Thancred still fights like a gladiator.
If they retconned him to use two daggers from the start of the story and then you get to the Leviathan part of the MSQ and he whips out a second dagger like it's a big surprise everyone would be confused.

After that mission, everyone in my party thought there was going to be a dagger class. But then the game got scrapped and years later, we got what we wanted.

I'm still 99% certain they're not going to go back to old content and retroactively edit every quest to acknowledge Au Ra. Edit script that directly references the characters race / class for dialogue purposes, sure, but not redo any actual content.
