Weird english

I think it's pretty great - and it makes for a very in-depth and immersive game world. It's also very much in line with the style of Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics (War of the Lions) and Final Fantasy XII.

I'm not a big fan of Eorzeanese either.

Not once have skipped over or facepalm'd at the dialogue in any of those games or in the other fantasy game/book/movie I've enjoyed.

The vast majority of dialog in the English version of the game is just modern English with a few older phrases or words thrown in from time to time (and some aren't even that old, or were still in use just 50 years ago), alongside the typical use of Final Fantasy jargon.

I'm having trouble believing you really found the dialog here to be so much worse that you skipped parts and and somehow avoided the same reaction in other fantasy works. Hell, if you've read Tolkien or watched the LOTR trilogy then you've read/heard essentially the same type of fantasy-speak.
