Translation Team: Please stop doing this...

There are some examples of characters in XI and XIV whose text was honestly legitimately hard to read.

Ramuh's wasn't one of them.

I have to kind of agree here. Pirate speak is pretty strange. Although I think the text is kind of hard to read, once I figured that the words are pronounced in a certain way, I got used to it. It's pretty cool though. And that comic strip! I miss ye Omn! xD

I feel so bad because people like this probably miss the real gems :

Imagine that you would meet a thousand years old being somewhere.. do you think it would speak the same English as you?

I must disagree with OP.

It is not as hard as Shakespeare.

Imagine if they started introducing characters that SPOKE in a Shakespearean dialect.

God help us all.

I understand it's a "fantasy" game but there's no need to use this really old and quite frustrating to read English...

please phase this out and start using normal words... Portendeth? I speak excellent English but I still had to google this word (even google failed to understand)

The whole limsa pirate thing was frustrating enough, sure it was cool but you're putting way too much effort into it... if you expect me to read all these quests at least make an effort to phase this weird ye olde english style out of the game and start using normal english.

Stop using "Thy" and "Thou" ...

If thou wouldst be offended by this speech, thou must needs read the works of Tolkien. Only then will thy troubles fade.

...cuz they cool, keepin' it real, na'aw mean?

old English sounds cool really.
