*READ THIS FIRST*~> Apparently I have to edit my OP because some of you don't understand the difference between a topic of conversation and a complaint. This is a topic of conversation. Get over it or GTFO.
Just some thoughts on some ingame items that don't make sense.
1) Poison dart frogs. You can eat them (raw). Why?? Realistically, doing this ought to kill you.
2) Rose gold = more valuable than electrum. This doesn't make sense because rose gold, while having a nicer sounding name, should be LESS valuable, as it is a mix of gold and copper (peacock ore is also a kind of copper), where as electrum is a mix of gold and silver.
Some items don't make sense.

Can you explain to me why you are eating poison dart frogs in the first place?

I assume its cooked like a puffer fish. unless you're mithra, which are immune to mercury.

This is the end of time when people nitpicks something like this.

10-19-2012, 03:51 PMCynthisWe should be able to lick the frogs and get special powers to see colors that no one else can see. Pugilists should also get some special drunk-fu like abilities after licking a frog.Quote:

Why did FFVII have Korean B.B.Q. as a buyable meal?
The Final Fantasy series is known for not making sense. -

As a meteor-destroying space pilot IRL, 100% accurate. -
10-19-2012, 04:12 PMPunainenIt would be interesting if eating it caused poison status.Quote:

Here add this to your list of things that dont make sense...
Casting elemental spells using magic.. I mean really who can use magic in real life???
Teleporting vast distances using anima.. seriously? No person in real life can use anima so why can I use it in the game?
Other humanoid races besides humans, this really ruined it for me.. totally NOT REALISTIC!
Load screens, pfffft do we have those in real life? I think not...
Yes this game is full of stuff that just doesnt make sense, its not realistic enough for me... -

Haha I like this topic :D
I was gathering yesterday and wondered why I can gather all purpose dye from the ground (ALREADY IN THE POT!) ahhh people throwing trash around the lands of Eorzea eh? :P -

Maybe rose gold is more gold than copper and electrum is more silver than gold?
Also, I agree that it would be fun if the dart frogs killed or poisoned you upon consumption, but there are plenty of other raw critters you can eat which would surely poison you as well. -

Consider posting in the LOC forum. That team might be able to tinker with the descriptions on these items to explain it away.

I use dual screens, one screen is smaller, which and when I cropped the image to only being vegeta's face I missed a small spot on the left. -
10-20-2012, 06:57 AMShougunI think its funny people make fun of you for pointing out a poisonous frog isn't poisonous. .Quote:

Regarding rose gold, it's a matter of how much gold is present, in proportion of copper/silver. You cannot tell how "fine" the rose gold and the electrum are. Silver is roughly 50 times less valuable than gold. While copper virtually worth nothing in comparison.
Rose Gold is typically 75% gold / 25% copper. (18K) [It's a matter of color, so it cannot vary too much or you won't obtain something "rose"]
Electrum ranges from 40% to 90%. (With a lot of historical examples showing something close to 50%/50%) [No set rules on how much silver should be in there to be called electrum / no color requirement either]
Do the maths, now you understand why Rose Gold can be more expensive.
Edit: Punainen said the same while I was replying :d -
10-20-2012, 07:34 AMShougunThe distilled water will dilute the poison just enough for you to live and continue to make stupid posts. :PQuote:

I feel that this topic is better suited in the Localization forums, rather than the mess of air-headed bubbles the General Discussion forums have become.
