Doma ~ FFVI Reference?

Yugiri

Hailing from the nation of Doma on the shores of Othard, Yugiri and her countrymen have fled their war-torn home and the oppression of Garlean rule in search of refuge.
With supplies and hopes for survival dwindling, Yurigi seeks council with Eorzea’s leaders, that they too may call this land their home.

Did anyone else notice the reference to Doma (home of Cyan) from FFVI?

Doma resists the Gestahlian Empire, and thus is on the brink of invasion. An army of Imperial troops attacks Doma Castle, but Cyan defeats the Imperial commander, sending the Imperial force fleeing, and Doma ends up playing a waiting game.

Kefka, using General Leo's forced leave of absence to his advantage, poisons the river supplying Doma's water, killing most of the inhabitants as well as various Imperial personnel held captive by Doma. Celes knew about the plan, and it is implied she was imprisoned due to speaking out against it. Cyan and a single Doma soldier are the only survivors and Doma continues to be occupied by the Empire for some time, until the fall of the Imperial capital Vector when Emperor Gestahl orders the troops stationed at Doma to withdraw.

A year later, if Cyan returns to the Doma Castle his pain over the destruction will reach critical mass, and the party must enter his Dreamscape, a reflection of Cyan's soul that leads to a phantom version of Doma Castle. The party defeats Wrexsoul here, and Cyan's mind is resolved of his guilt and self-doubt, allowing him to attain his peak level of skill and giving him access to all his Bushido techniques.

Let's wait and see if this NPC speaks with some specific words : Thou/dost/thy/thee :)

Mister Thou!

I just hope there aren't any crazy clowns committing genocide. Although that would make fighting them all the more theatric.

Yugiri is dressed exactly like a Mime too (they hail from Doma in FFVI), even down to sporting the single horn on one side of the head as Gogo did in FFVI. I'm pretty sure she's not a new race at all but simply a new class. ;)

Brave, brave Sir Robin of LoxleyMad, mad Sir Nero of Garlemald would like to have a word with you. He's been DYING to find the moose that bit his sister's arse, and subject it to cruel Allagan-style experiments. XD


..... What? Just because that useless Garlean kinnigit is farting in Doma's general direction from Mor Dhona doesn't mean he forgets where he's from, even if he is dancing mad.

Don't be silly. Green eggs come from green chickens. I'll bet there is a green pig there somewhere too. :)

The green chicken is definitely this game's version of Enkidu, Gilgamesh's loyal companion. He's gone through more than a few transformations over the series, from flying demon to dog to weapon, and now....a chicken.

And there are no mimes in Doma. Samurai are the classic job class said to be from Doma in FFVI. The only Mime in FFVI is Gogo, who joins the group on Triangle Island in the belly of a giant worm.

I would say the Doma thing is definitely a reference to FFVI's Doma, what with all the other references to other FF's in the game already, like CT. That being said, the "thou" style of speech won't be there since that is a translation thing Woolsey introduced. Now, if the translators are awesome, yes, we should see some ye old Garamonde stylings in the NA version. *crosses fingers*
