Occult Crescent speculation

[Zero-ELEC]

*snip*

I believe that in other languages it's more explicit that

Karnak is actually one of the twelve city-states of the Fifth Astral

and it's just one of those loc kerfuffles that we get occasionally.

What's really interesting to me is that phantom knight is "knight" and not "paladin"; now this might be because it's intentionally using the name used in FFV's localisation, but I believe they're named the same in Japanese, with both being ナイト. Which might not mean anything or it might mean that this phantom knight job has some sort of continuity with modern paladins but changed names over time?

What also interests me is the fact that samurai and geomancers were seemingly present in the Fifth Astral, meaning that there maybe was already cultural crosspolination with the Far East of the time. I wonder what the makeup of those civilisations were at the time?

Samurai isn't super weird, because we do know that Hingashi was around but fairly uneventful in the Fifth Astral Era. So was Bozja and Doma, although Doma probably not in a recognizable form, so it's not especially surprising to see imports from there.

If anything the weirdest to me might be Cannoneer, but that might just be because it feels like there should be a footprint left from people doing that. Surely we should be able to find the cannons, right!?
