Common mistakes when speaking about FFXIV

[Eltharian]

Ahh ok, thanks.

[Tadir]

Wow, I never realized that. I always pronounced it Pew Gah List.

 

Pew Jah List huh?

[Satisiun]

Maybe if they put in female Roegadyns? :mrgreen:

 

Baby steps. First they need to actually implement female Highlander Hyurs.

What? Square-Enix actually implement something that people want? Oh, such dreams, such dreams..

 

Any~way, something I've noticed is that a lot of people still refer to the world as Eorzea, when Hydaelyn (sp? I never remember where the "a" goes) is the name of the world itself. Eorzea = Aldenard continent and Vylbrand island.

I am still, and likely always will, refer to them as Galka. And I will frequently call the others Mithra, Tarus, Elvaan, and Humes. Given this very particular scenario with SE "adapting" the previous races (and the fact I find the previous names to be easier to say/remember/use) I find little problem with this (so long as it's not in an IC context). Especially since I imagine most of the people who'll play XIV also played XI so they'll be familiar with these terms.

 

I also keep trying to devise new abbreviations for the classes. So far I'm up to PUG, THM, ACR, GLD, MAD, BOT, MNR, etc. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were already a list of these up somewhere that have been all approved and discussed and such and I'm just woefully uninformed.

[Kashemia]

While there's definitely a lot of previous FFXI players out there, there's also a lot who isn't, and using the old terms CAN be a bit confusing to us sometimes I know the races relatively well, as well as a few other things, but in general, I wish that people would at least try to use the proper term to avoid confusion

 

 

And Aveline: Wow, I actually didn't know that. But to be honest, I hadn't really thought much about it either <.< Thanks for clearing it out!

[Asyria]

Fun fact: tau-ma-turj is how it'S pronounced in French (same word, same meaning!)

Also, sometimes I have Tomato-Urge.
