[QUOTE=Dalvy;3353663]Much of what you listed is pulled from general Final Fantasy elements, which in turn are pulled from various mythologies. [QUOTE]

I know that, I just noticed that the Allag seemed to have most of the references to Norse Mythology

THough to be honest, the Allag give me a "modern day" feel. their museum showcases how automation was invented to make life easier, which is what we strive to do in the tech industry. They built laboratories to experiment on living subjects; something we do too. The speech (in English) is modern compared to the Shakespearean like speech used by most npcs in Eorzea.
It is rather evedent that they are more futuristic compared to Eorzea, but well Crystal Spires (literally in Allag's case) and Togas seems to be the standard depiction of utopia nowadays
