As a somewhat off-topic point of note on "thee," "thou," and other older English constructs in the EN localization, Fernehalwes talks about that a little in the context of Midgardsormr:
So, that's why primals, dragons, and so on all speak somewhat archaically -- they've been around for a long time (or, I suppose one might say, hail from the past) and largely don't interact with the mortal Sons of Man.
Quote:A being that has lived several ages in Eorzea will most likely have picked up its Eorzean long ago. Couple that with the fact that the being may not have had much in the way of communication with Eorzeans since then, making it difficult for him to pick up on more modern speech patterns. We felt that to reflect this (and the fact that they are simply very, very old beings), it would be better to give the dragons a slightly more archaic speech pattern, hence the ‘thee’s and ‘thou’s.
