    Friend to the dawn, hear my plea. Tidings most ominous arrive from Gridania─a primal walketh the Shroud. Those who have borne the eldritch spirit witness─and returned to tell the tale─avow that ne'er before have they seen its like. The Gods' Quiver doth investigate as we speak, and meseems Bowlord Lewin would welcome a capable adventurer's helping hand. Pray hie thee to the Seat of the First Bow and shine thy light upon the matter.

    normal people can't understand this nonsense, we're not all hardcore English majors, we shouldn't have to look up guides on Merriam-Webster made by elitist English majors on how to understand the game, please use http://simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/Main_Page in the future thanks.
    The fact this is even a complaint disappoints me and I already lacked faith in humanity. I'm not an English major either but I still understand it...

    It literally translates to: "Yo dawg, a primal's all up in our hood. Never thought this homie would be all up in our shit like this but we sent out our boys to check it out and you're going with them. Bring the light 'n shit."

    Lol! If kids can't understand the quest text they really should be doing schoolwork and not playing games. Literacy is sexy children!

    & Orspeth post.

    The text in this game sucks for me personally. I understood it as well, but I am not one to play the Divinci Code in every single text and use context clues constantly.
    I notice they use "Mayhap..." a lot.
    I haven't been out of High School for that long but I don't recall seeing this much.... type of text unless I was reading poems from Edgar Allen Poe. Very annoying.
    They have not taught up this type of writing so can't really blame anyone. English is the best of my studies but Jesus I can't tolerate it in this game haha.
    Limnsa's thick accent hurt my brain so much I usually skip every text. The ROG people are easier to understand at least.
