I am not sure honestly, to me following lore in the case that they do state that there is one common language would be a step down from taking into account various languages. As for the specifics you mentioned in your spoiler: Show Content SpoilerI can still justify Cid speaking Eorzean to NPCs because he knows the language, not because there is one language overall. Cid knowing Eorzean seems more plausible, as it makes no sense whatsoever for everyone in the world to have absolutely no difference in language. Encrypted messages could be wither in Eorzean or Garlean... either way, they must be encrypted because I assume there are Eorzeans who know Garlean, or Garleans who have switched sides, so they can't just speak plainly. And yeah, main storyline could either be a case of the Echo, or just the fact that they are speaking Eorzean. Personally, I've not seen anything to compelling to switch me over to the "one language" camp, but that said I am not even sure if I recall exact cases (if there are any) where it /did/ make clear that Garleans have their own language. So, it's up in the air for now - but since I am a linguistics nerd I prefer the multiple languages. I’m the bullies you hate, that you became.
