Eorzean Words and English Counterparts

[BlessedSilence]

Is Anyroad used in Limsa and Gridania?  I've only noticed it mainly in Ul'dah. Wondered if that's a local phrase or Eorzean.

 

Just wanted to do a quick update on this.

 

In the weeks I've been playing, I have noticed NPCs in and from Gridania and Ul'Dah to be the ones who say 'anyroad' but I've not noticed any from Limsa (though I have not had quests from there in a while).

 

I have recently come across the words gainsay and wroth in the main story quests.

 

Hope the definitions help people to understand what NPCs are saying.

Once I have time, I will be updating the main post.

There have been times where I've not been entirely sure if it's Eorzean dialogue or just an oversight in translation leading to Engrish.

Must needs your base!

 

Yeah, I'm now wondering if Eorzeans actually say "corse" rather than corpse, because it is a "typo" that has come up numerous times now in quest text.

 

>_> Either Squeenix really sucks at typing, or Eorzeans are frickin' weird.

 

Corse is a real word and it means the same thing.

A couple more unusual ones I've noticed NPCs using a lot are these two:

 

Vainglorious

Selfsame

"That's my selfsame opinion!"

And like "must needs", I dearly wish it didn't exist. I don't know why it grates on me so, but it really does. >_<
