In FFXIV I'm having some difficulty. I -know- there's an accent in Ul'dah, and I think there's one for Limsa Lominsa and honestly I'm having trouble telling between the two. I also know the Scions/Circle have their own British thing going on. Anyway, if you guys can identify the regional accents (I really don't think we should discuss whether -every- character in a region has an accent) and give an example of a sentence, I would greatly appreciate it.
As I'm sure you're aware, Gharen speaks with I would say a moderate to thick Scottish accent, which is something he almost did not have. I've seen a few NPC's here and there speak in a similar accent for instance the blacksmiths guild master in Limsa. I can't think of all of them but it's sprinkled through the game here and there. Ultimately I don't think that particular accent is region specific, though as I recall in the first cutscene regarding the Garlean empire a midlander claiming to be from Ala Mhigo was sporting one as well, just before he was offed. I could be wrong on that so please correct me if I am.
