Ishgard the most messed up area?

[Iscah]

Regarding Elezen names - they are heavily French-derived, but the odd thing with naming conventions in this game is that they basically ignore the setting and are completely linked to races. Hyur and Elezen have been living together in Gridania for centuries, and yet there is no "Gridanian identity" to names. Elezen continue to use faux-French names, and Midlander Hyur use medieval Anglo-Saxon/Celtic/Briton names.

And even in Ishgard itself - the majority of the population is Elezen so again most of the names seem French, but mixed into that we have names like Hilda, Symme and Joye, and they're just as Ishgardian as the others.

Meanwhile over in Ul'dah, a completely different culture with a different racial mix, the local Midlanders are still using the same sort of names as their Gridanian counterparts.



And in the end, even if the setting is derived from medieval France, it's the high-fantasy-quest story and characters that make Heavensward a really enjoyable part of the story.

Also word has their mean, using crusade is not insight, crusade refer to one period, one moment, and one phenomen in history, take it and use it to describe a story in fantasy game, i dont find very clever

The Crusades are a specific historical phenomenon, but the word has come to have a more general meaning as well. A crusade (note the lack of capitalisation) can be "any vigorous, aggressive movement for the defense or advancement of an idea, cause, etc."

In any case, none of the actual Crusades were fought against dragons, so it seems far more like a high fantasy setting than borrowing from history here.

Or perhaps you've done so much reading on these subjects that you're seeing parallels the writers didn't even know they were making?

And again, if you are only in ARR, wait until you've actually completed Heavensward (and also Dragonsong, which is the first arc of endgame quests after completing Heavensward MSQ) before trying to argue what the story resembles. This is just the opening chapter.

Also, I'm not entirely certain, but I think Ishgard is primarily defensive towards the dragons rather than offensive. There are hunters, and fortified outposts, and the inquisition (which honestly we barely even hear from as we move further into Heavensward), but largely they seem to stay in the city and make sure their cannons are in working order.

Also there is no need to take a holy city to justifiy crusade, crusade were also used to purify the heretic in central europe, Russian from old time did crusade against teutonic for example.

Except you specifically equated the fanatics to "Muslims" in one of your earlier posts as an example of why it was copying the Crusades.

Here we have crusade, inquisitor, archevêque, come on where those guy come from?

Arche-what? Sorry, I've never seen that term used in the game. Or out of it. Are you playing the game in a language other than English?

(Also, blame Monty Python and my lack of detailed history knowledge, but mostly I do expect the Spanish Inquisition....)



PS. If you are writing a book and want other people to read and enjoy it.... please use more full stops and line breaks. And less run-on sentences joined with commas. It it seriously hard to read your posts. I have to concentrate.

If I was trying to read a book written like this, it wouldn't matter how brilliantly original the setting was, because I would have given up long before I read enough to understand the ideas behind it.


PPS. Universe has an "e" at the end.
