It's just the "Common" tongue. That they use other real-life languages as flavour, e.g. Spanish, doesn't mean that in the world of FFXIV that it is actually Spanish.

It's worth noting that the only Spanish in the game comes in reference to Cactuars/Sabotenders, like the names of the Sabotender boss and adds in Qarn HM. How Eorzeans know those Spanish words to name them (and El Coloso, the giant Sabotender statue) remains to be seen. I can't help but hope there's a village of little Spanish-speaking cactus people somewhere...

Well, but then there's Costa del Sol. Who knows?!

They should have put Goobue and Morbols aren't animals but in fact carnivorous plants.

Miqo'te originally migrated from Meracyida...? That has the potential to foresee major implications for the future.

Spoiler Considering that what you learn in Final Coil is that Allag went to war with Meracyida eons ago, and that Miqo'te had been around since the First Astral Era, my gut feeling tells me that between Meracyida dragons, Miqo'te, Hyur, Elezen, and that war, it would explain G'raha's lineage being traced back to the fall of Allag.

However, with the last Princess entrusting the gift of her royal blood to her most trusted associate whom is Miqo'te for all we know because it descends to G'raha... that either means her most trusted associate was Meracyidan, or it means the Miqo'te homeland was Meracyida but they might have been elsewhere as well during that time since they've been around since the First Astral Era.

Amazing confirmation there, and that's a lot for me to think about.

Well this was a pretty amazing load. I'll be sure to take a lot of those things in consideration. Thanks for the post!

EDIT: I haven't explained it very well. I can't say I'm extremely deep in the lore, since I'm quite new still. I've always loved the details SE gives to flesh the world, and these tidbits, a lot were new to me, and obviously the Miq'ote one is unprecedent, and very fun. I do wonder if we're going to see the new continents in the future. As of now, I'm just really interested in these informations, and what more lies on Heavensward.

Goobbue are not actually themselves plants, the game makes a note of saying it's unclear what they are but basically describes them as Bulbasaur. They are only classified as Seedkin because of the plantlife growing on them.

Quote:The nature of the Goobbue is surrounded in mystery, but two things are known for sure: they have a huge lung capacity and an even bigger temper! Goobbue live within the inner regions of La Noscea, coexisting with the plant life on their head, even making sure to feed it and give it water. In return, the plants serve as camouflage, or even a quick meal in a pinch. On average, Goobbue stand at about 20 fulms, or 6 meters tall.
