Ohh ok I get what you were asking now, sorry about that.
Yeah I would agree with this. Differences in regions are what makes a world vibrant. I would have no problem asking IC if I was confused about a term.
Side note: to something quoted above about not speaking French in Vana'diel: Actually there was at least one (I think more than that) chef NPC that spoke with a ridiculous French accent and peppered his speech with French words, and there were some Mithras who would speak with a Western "cowboy" accent and said things like "pardner," so I don't see what the problem would be if a roleplayer did the same thing. >_>
Asyria Wrote:Exactly!
I think that everyone use the names they are getting in their language version of the game (if they like them!) and if there's misunderstandings about it, ask IC.
Ex: "I'm a Goldpaw" "A what?" "Oh right, we're usually called Seekers of the Sun, we call ourselves Goldpaws in my tribe"
One name is the name usually given to those people, and the other is the name they took for themselves locally.
If anything, it adds to the RP.
