Eorzea Haiku Contest Discussion Thread (EU)

[mbncd]

Good afternoon, brave (and poetic) adventurers !



That is indeed right, if you are one of the lucky winners of this contest you may hand your prize to a dear friend of yours, if you wish. Isn't it February just now, the month of love and affection?

Why are you waiting?
Enter the contest to win
For your friends can join

Erm, don't the contest rules state that the prize is non transferable..? Doesn't giving it to a friend count as transferring..?

I think they meant that you can't sell it.

Now I wonder why this is EU only?

[Destinova]

Well Its like a Haiku.

A Regni renascentis
Suus 'quod quaerimus
Ad Adventure Quondam Iterum

[Wilan]

All on time kupo!

Eorzea is 3 syllables so its an 8 syllable line?

From the videos the enunciation is "Your zay ah", can Fernhalwes confirm?

エオルゼア
E-o-ru-ze-a

E-or-ze-a

That's a nine-syllable line by my count. To be as you're hearing it it would take a different Japanese spelling. Japanese pronunciation will adhere to their spelling, but it is possible it's as you say and they used incorrect spelling and now subject themselves to "incorrect" pronunciation for the sake of the Romanization.

My first Haiku. Very traditional. Unfortunately no comedy potential.

Land of Aetheryte
Alluring desolation
Midgardsormr's rest

Any ideas as to when the winners will be announced? I know they said the 18th but it's almost midnight JP time and still nothing

[Mjollnir]

I hear there's something going on down at EU HQ today, so it might be delayed!
