So it's a different language that is almost indiscernible from the Eorzean tongue in the Japanese version? I didn't see where it specified written text only but then again does it matter? If it's written one way then it's spoken that way too, right?
This is why I'm just washing my hands of it at this point. I just plan to RP this out in the way that my partners and I are comfortable.
Ah, no. I believe what they meant is that they drew so strongly from actual Japanese to form the language that, if your language is actual Japanese, you would be hard-pressed as the player to tell the difference.
For anyone who is playing in a different language, the differences are obvious to the player.
But it's still a separate language from the common tongue spoken in-character by NPCs and whatnot.
