Alright, first of all, I'm not expecting anything on the level of The Elder Scrolls here, but I am wondering something.
Are there any well known books in Eorzea (or anywhere in Hydaelyn, I guess)? For those of us with scholarly characters, it would make sense for there to be a sort of established or semi-established (de jure or de facto) academic canon; great works that no one could call themselves classically educated without having first read them. They don't have to be physically available in-game, but is there any mention of that sort of thing? On Aether by What's-his-name or What's-his-face's Primal Primer or anything?
And if not--and I'm asking this honestly, noob that I am--should we invent some? Not write out whole tomes, obviously, but should we supply titles and basic ideas around some famous books that all of our characters would have read? Or is that presumptuous on the part of the player community?
That excludes, of course, any works written by our own characters (the authors of which Lolotaru would be thrilled to meet, insatiable bibliophile that he is).
Anyroad, I wanted to see what the community knew/thought.
Thanks folks!
