Eorzean's swear - Ilwe'ran - 02-26-2015
I'm pretty sure that eorzeans curses as much as we do IRL, now are there some "official" idioms ? And how do your characters swear ?
RE: Eorzean's swear - Gegenji - 02-26-2015
The only big one is "Thal's Balls" that I know of, though I've been using "Twelves-be-damned" a couple times as well in writing (along with one case of "Halone's icy tits"). I'm sure the basic curse words still apply in Eorzea too - perhaps with a minor twist like "shite" - mostly due to there not being anything in place to keep them from existing.
If there's other, more Eorzean, curses, it'd be neat to know. Chachan most likely would never use them, being the little goody-goody he is, but there's plenty of NPCs I wouldn't mind be able to throw out an appropriate curse now and then.

Usually I just use whichever god I can pick (Thal, Nophica, Rhalgr, etc) smack it up with a few cuss words and move on. Combinations are endless, really. Inbred Chocobo, By Nophicas tits, By thals balls, etc etc.
Get creative, refference IC-relevant material and you got your insults

"Get buggered, ye gods-damned piece o'shite! An' don't gimme that look! Was the same look yer mecky mother gave me when I swived 'er right in the arse. Left it bloody, I did, but she liked it anyway! Makes callin' ye a whoreson all the easier. Oh? Oho? Got some fight in ye after those words, aye? Come on then, let's see what y'got, ye bastard, I'll 'ave you suckin' on Thal's left ball soon enough!"
^ Would be how one of my characters do it.

Sounds familiar.

I actually like going around looking at NPCs to pull what I can in terms of speech from them. La Noscea has been PARTICULARLY educational for the performance of my Brawncanist, Rolf.
RE: Eorzean's swear - V'aleera - 02-26-2015
Not at all official, but V'aleera will occasionally use "Reinette's tits!" as an Ishgardian specific swear in moments of frustration.
RE: Eorzean's swear - Kage - 02-26-2015
I think there's The Mother's tits or Menphina's Tits.

I've heard "Seven Hells" be used some times. I usually just use "Hells".
RE: Eorzean's swear - Melkire - 02-26-2015
Vylbrand and quests originating in Vylbrand are a great source for Eorzean swearing and cussing in general. Starter MSQs, Rogues' Guild, Marauders' Guild to a lesser extent, etc.
Unofficially....
*cracks knuckles and flexes fingers*
"Ruttin' hells."
"Gods damn you!"
"Gods-damned pissant."
"Shite...."
"Tuco piss."
"Son of a coeurl!"
"Thal's Balls."
"Matron's teats!"
"Oschon's Staff."
"Sweet Menphina...."
"Twelve Above."
...and countless variations and so on and so forth.

Jancis swears all the time! "Thaliak's Grace!"Â
While not game-oriented, this is always fun to take a gander at for some tasty off-collar words.

Curr! Lout! Lewster!
RE: Eorzean's swear - Telluride - 02-26-2015
"By Halone's Hoarfrosted Hymen!"
And, I do not believe than Jancis swears.
RE: Eorzean's swear - Melkire - 02-26-2015
"Mangy cur" is always a good turn of phrase for fantasy settings, regardless of which one you're in.

Jancis only swears on the grace of the Twelve.Â
She had some beautiful words for Jin'li though. ...I wish I logged them.
