Weird english

Yeah, sorry, there really aren't in medieval themes present in the game anywhere except Ishgard. Just people speaking different dialects that get misconstrued as medieval.

And now that I think about it, Ishgard has the Machinist guild. Guns and flying turrets that do not at all match a medieval setting o:

That's true! So then does that make Ishgard steampunk medieval? Medieval steampunk? FLYING TURRETS!

OMG this is so adorable. People trying to push the JP-audio/text agenda.

I'll admit, I do normally prefer the Japanese audio in some games, but this game just isn't one of them. The English localization is too good. :x Just my opinion, but the Japanese audio just doesn't sound... right. Characters don't really have much emotion.

Its the medieval speech that is being discussed here and how off the top it is compared to the original Japanese work. The MCH presence in FFXIV has nothing to do with the genre that the English Localization team is forcing in its translation of dialogue, storylines, etc. That is why I keep saying that the English translation is very different from the Japanese work because of how old English it is.

It really is pointless arguing with you.

What original work? You don't listen to anyone, and you refuse to accept actual truth while constantly arguing circles and circles (mostly around yourself). But there is no "original work" Enkidoh pointed out to you that BOTH the English and Japanese versions of the game have been concurrently written with each other.

NOT to mention YOU completely ignore and just OUT RIGHT refuse to look at the proof someone EVEN linked for you in an earlier thread about this almost same topic.....

Know what else is ridiculous? You also being wrong by claiming that there's an original Japanese script.

The head English localizer flat out states that they have a hand in creating many of the game's terms and the lore. (Also in video format!) They help localize the English names and terms back into Japanese. Localization is far more than just translation.
