This font

ugh, no.

http://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/t/736...886a09af_2.png

what the heck does that even say? I can't make it out, and I am usually good at backwards and or upside down script...

Pretty sure it says Wanted.


You can't tell me you're just now discovering this font? This has been the "Eorzean" font since 2010 on maps, signs, etc.

I know... I just dislike. I see now a D is backwards, because Eorzea.

THere's no reason to be upset, This Graphic isn't meant to be read. Since it's a graphical element, having it in Eorzean/Gibberish is just smart, some TV shows do this so that drawn graphics don't have to be translated for each region. There'll be an actual readable description of our Beast Hunt Objectives when we accept them.

That's probably actually fully readable though. But yeah we'll get an actual description.

All of that text we wrote in a bit of archaic Victorian English with weird spellings and awkward grammar and it all sounds very official. Some of it may be small, but some of it can be read, so you guys should have fun deciphering it.

I speak a little Eorzean, WANTED: Reward 1000g 1 allied token and too small to read the small text. There is a eorzean font you can download:

It's definitely an N, the style is slightly different is all. more block like.

That doesn't make it any less awful and terrible to read.

But it makes it more Eorzean, which I think was the point. More otherworldly for immersion's sake. I like it, personally because it's different.

Yeah I know, you naggers want it to be MS Comic Sans.

Is there anything you lot is NOT angry about? Maybe you should play with rocks instead.

Looks Tolkien-ish. But like Kimikryo said, why get mad?

idk, I certainly wouldn't have made a thread about it just looking at the preview.

I think it's easy to read Eorzean :/ Very similar to stylized english font

Hooray for Eorzean. I know it says 'wanted', but it reminded me of this:

To be honest with you, though I know it is supposed to say wanted, I think there's a typo on the graphic. I think it actually reads "WAATED"

Those two characters in the graphic are distinctly different, though. o_O

After looking at it for the 24350972 time, you're right. they are different. However, the "N" in the graphic doesn't match the "N" in the alphabet..

But then again, it would match if we think of it as an even more stylized font of the Eorzean font.

Strangely enough, the more you see it, the easier it gets to read... kind of like middle english. xD

Look at the tiny mandragora stamp !!! That makes it all better ^3^

You think Eorzean script is bad? You try to read anything in FFX? LOL especially the odd item that was both in FFX's script AND in Al Bhed.

It coulda been worse. They coulda made up a gibberish spoken language to go along with it.
