Based on your own culture, where would you be from in XIV?

Well, since I'm from the UK...

Garlemald. The Imperial accent is the closest thing to my own, we had the whole 'Empire' thing going on for a while and since the sun is a rarity here and I'm part Irish...I'm pale enough to pass for a Garlean!

You just made my night.

Cold weather, slightly elitist, societal divide...
Hey, I know why I like Ishgard now, it feels like home!

Nah, Australia is Meracydia, a blasted wasteland full deadly creatures and people who hate outsiders.

The New World, if the regalia is anything to go by.

Otherwise, I guess this quote fits me too.

Based on the erroneous perception of where I live, it is Coerthas. The thing is, if you think of pre-calamity Coerthas, then it becomes accurate.

Irl, I live relatively close to Costa del Sol (I mean the real Costa del Sol from Spain, Europe, where I guess SE got the name and the inspiration from). So I guess...

But I want to be from Gridania (T^T)

Ishgard was inspired by german (and france) culture, right? So I think I belong to there :O

Considering how little I go out or socialize beyond the net, I might as well come straight out of some Allagan Research Facility >_>

I have to agree with you there (sorry Niqe!) - by all accounts Meracydia is Hydaelyn's Terra Australis Incognita. Having said that, Ala Mhigo definitely does fit some aspects of Australia though too (harsh environment, it's people with a reputation for being tough-as-nails and giving rise to more than a few talented soldiers, even it's national anthem does have more than a passing resemblance in musical structure to Australia's, as noted by more than a few people on the lore forum. ;)

Little wonder then as an Aussie I had Enki be Ala Mhigan by birth, as it just suited her perfectly. ;)
