Garland >< Garlemald?

During the Court of the Sands starting main senario in Uldah, when first visiting the Goldsmiths guild, during the exchange with Niellefresne he talks about trade with Gridania and then says that it will prove all for naught if it comes to war with Garlemald.

Figured I'd stick that up here in case that should be Garland instead. I don't remember it being referred to as Garlemald before.

Thanks!

Garlemald is the place where Garleans are from I believe. I don't know about Garland? I always thought the Garleans were from Garlemald.

Zaviermhigo, you are correct.

Garlemald is the name of the country, and Garlean is its adjectival form.
(The Garlean Empire is located in Garlemald)

There is also an organization called the Garlond Ironworks that is mentioned in the Limsa Lominsa main scenario. But if I told you any more of this, I'd have to kill you (cue dramatic horn riff).

There isn't any mention of "Garland" in the game. This is "Garland": http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/G...nal_Fantasy%29

The only other thing that sounds close might be the "Garlond" in the "Garlond Goggles".

Or, the French "Garlond Edition" http://www.amazon.fr/Final-Fantasy-X...ef=pd_sim_vg_1

Ooo I might just have to make a character from Limsa to see about the Garlond Ironworks ^^, love the lore.

Dunno if English shows same but at port going to Limsa there is NPC Garland (in JP at least) LOL

It's just some guard with that name, nothing special though

There are sidequests (in all three countries) that involve rescuing members of the Garlond Ironworks from Garlean spies. Confusing I know. But if you want to get some of the lore without starting a new character I'd recommend doing those. I couldn't tell you the quest names though.

They are the quests asscoiated with getting to know the grand company in each city, if that helps.

Ahh thanks I'll look em up ^^ OO wait i did those, I guess i just didn't pay much attention or :/, the Grid one I really did though.

Maybe that main villian near end of rank 45-50 Mission is another FF version of garland. ^^

It seem more of a Darkvaider Judge though. Still either way its cool.

The Garlean Empire is from the land of Garlemald (Located North East of Eorzea). There lies an Iron Works that creates machines, airships, and other "spoiler filled" goodies used by the Empire, which is referred to as the Garlond Ironworks.

I do not believe there are any errors in the writing, I believe the writers intended for it to be written that way.

The Garlond Ironworks can be named after a man who runs it ~~ OR ~~ Garlond is another way of showing possession of someone or something from that land (or city). They even start with the same 4 letters (Garl).

EX: Garlean Airship, Garlond Airship, Garlemald's Airship

They are different ways of showing they belong to a person or place residing in that area. Garlond Goggle's (a special item) is from the Garlond Ironworks. It proves they meant to write it that way. It was repeated more than once.

They're not a part of the Limsa city story line, they're simply mentioned in side-quests in Limsa (and Ul'dah and Grid >.>).
