Confusing Fact about the Races/Spoken

[Cleretic]

Btw, could we say that the term, Humanity, can be used for any sapient races of FFXIV including the more beastly looking races like say the Amaljaah? I know that the term is very arbitrary and etc, but since a lot of people here still use the term so I'm wondering about that.

Oh, absolutely, it applies to them as much as it applies to hyur or roegadyn in the greater sense of the definition. I personally avoid using the term because it's so easily misinterpreted as being more narrow, though.

I think it's better to say that they're the Spoken(sapient) races instead. Using the human label here is pretty..well, yeah. I'd also like to think that the Hyur aren't "human" like us either despite their appearances sort of like the Xandarians from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. It's a trope called "Call a Smeerp a Rabbit", and as you expect, those names are very broad and loose including in FFXIV where the term, humanity, can mean any bipedal sentient creature and etc.

Do you know the manga, Biomega? People there call anything mountable as a "horse". Even the main protagonist calls his motorcycle as such as well.
