You could use these pointers to identify what kind of accent is he/she using. Also, you can determine their social class.
1. Occupation
2. Education
3. Salary (use your imagination, measure in wealth/abundance if the person is not getting paid for his/her services.)
4. Housing Locality
Trudgill (1974)
Example:
1. Fisherman
2. Fishermen's Guild, No formal Eorzean education.
3. 500-1,000 gil (?)
4. Limsa Lominsa
1~4= What kind of accent does he/she have? "He/she must be a Lominsian Fisherman (Lominsian Pirate accent,low class, low income, etc.)
I've been having my doubts about "Eorzean" accents, but I still have some questions:
1. What is "Eorzean"? What languages are involved?
2. Who speaks "Eorzean"?
3. Can we map it (Isoglossses)?
4. Where did it come from? What's the base language and what is the stratum?
PS It has flaws, but at least it's a small step.
