I hate this font. :D

Ok, I said I wasn't going to, but some people also did alternate characters and such, so I'll throw in just a couple more because I love this thread (though I've done many more than this):

http://static2.finalfantasyxiv.com/a...WzYx0M5I2Y.png

Top one is a RL friend's character that never visits the forums so I figured it'd be ok to post (Sarjenka Drema, for those who have trouble reading Eorzean, which is most people). Went for a slim, elaborate style I thought would befit an elezen.
Bottom one is my rarely used miqo'te alt, Kalyke Harpalyke.

Those are so pretty! Howwww!?

I'm gonna make some more too, prepare yourselves.

I'm gonna have to give this another shot on my drawing tablet later...

I always thought otherwise...

This thread creates an interesting suggestion.

Can we get this made into a real computer font? :D


neeevermind. Google is great

Could you imagine if chat log and UI were in this font?

Took me eight hours to draw this.

Getting used to the chat log wasn't so bad in terms of the Eorzean and the immersion is actually a great way to improve your literacy of the font, but I never kept this as my regular font due to other issues with special characters and numbers being too thin to match the rest of the font to the point of being hard to even see, and had no support at all for kana/kanji so any shouts in Japanese were replaced by unsightly boxes. I can't read Japanese very well so that didn't matter, but the boxes were very jarring to look at.

I know right? I always thought that reps were genetically engineered super humans made by SE to help us in our desperate times of need. Sort of like X-men but cooler.

Here is mine, the larger one is printed, the smaller was supposed to be cursive. (but no Echo is drunk and needs to go home) Also, a doodle of your character is not required.

oop a font chart from the final fantasy wikia

Happy calligraphing!

:o my alphabet image file! Glad to see ppl using it! (need proof? check the username who posted it to the wiki. :p)

I'll have to add my name to this. Thanks for the fun idea!

There we go, now with a little more practice and the help of trusty ol' Ctrl+Z...

Also like to thank the OP for starting this thread. I was going to get a tattoo and now I'm glad I didn't because not I want to do it in this font!

We should change the forums font to this :3

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...font-variation

Type it with this font!

Thanks for that, I just need to install it on my system now (I already have Yrusama's Eorzean font on my system - thanks as well! :D).

I just tried writing Enki's name freehand in Eorzean, and it just looked like a cat's scrawl. I'll get used to it in time, but it seems to be more the kind of writing style that's meant to be written in ink, not pencil (you can kind of see the brush stroke with the way the lines of each character are rendered, which is different when writing with a pencil).

Ah well, practice will make perfect I guess and when I get it good enough to show others I'll post it (I was never very good at calligraphy though which doesn't help. :p).

Hahaha I had to re-do a second time and it's still messy.

I guess it's just hard when you are unfamiliar with the strokes

It's been out a while, I've used it a fair bit myself, but the handwritten one in another thread was new , and it was fun to actually write it, you should try it ^_^

So that would be Rhalgr, Byregot and Nald-Thal? ;)

My first attempt was with mspaint... and this was the horrid outcome
http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/a...psbedda527.jpg

So I got a couple of my kids markers and did my second attempt on the back of a piece of old mail >.>;

Hmmm.... hard to remember because I did them a while before this thread ever existed, but probably only a couple. And it wouldn't be the whole name either. It was in Illustrator so if I messed up just 1 letter I could Ctrl+Z without starting completely over.

Unless you want to count all the other writing I've done to practice Eorzean characters in general.... then it's a lot. Creating the font really got me a lot of familiarity with writing them...
