Another Ishgardian Thread (Sorry!) - Auralily - 05-19-2014
I purchased this game at launch of ARR (and played legacy a little, but not enough to get the legacy stamp of approval.) and really didn't touch it after that first month. Well, I got another year subscription auto bill and figured I would try the game again! Anyway, the RP part of this:
I was going to make an Elezen, and I was leaning towards Wildwood. I was torn between Pugilist and Lancer, and had finally settled on Lancer. Browsing the RP forums because I cannot create a new character, I stumbled upon Ishgardian posts! And as it turns out, that all kind of lined up with what I was making. So I have two questions about Ishgardians.Â
1) The Elezen population.. is that more Wildwood? It almost seems like they would put their city-state before their ancestry and just not care, but thought I'd ask. If all we got is speculation, that's fine.Â
2) Is there a specific naming convention Ishgardian Elezen follow, or is it just the standard Elezen naming conventions?

Hello! I can help you out with your questions as I'm one of the players of the Ishgardian plot.
1. Ishgard seems to be made up of predominately Wildwood Elezen, not unlike Gridania, with Hyur coming in second. While they certain have pride in their country I suspect they like being Elezen too, well those that are Elezen anyway.
2. Elezen retain the French-influenced naming conventions regardless of which city-state they belong to. Really no name is TOO French when it comes to Elezen.

Wonderful, Thank you! I was just concerned with "Fleurette", while the French word for flower is Fleur and adding -ette to the end to make it more Elezen, it seemed like a good idea, but obviously the french word for Flower doesn't translate in Eorzea. As I said, Elezen Lancer was my plan, and then when I saw Ishgard it just seemed to fit. It seems cliche, but I won't fret over that. My character can be original even if my history is not.

Oh, I do! Have an interest, I mean.
I ended up server transferring my Miqo'te off and back on, for a name change. Then used my last fantasia to make her elezen. So Ysabelle Fleurette is live on Balmung at last. 50 bard and 43 dragoon. Handful of other stuff leveled too, but archer, dragoon, and gladiator are my current IC classes.
