Eorzean Units of Measurement

[Anonymoose]

We went over the ones you know long ago, but it's worth putting them in the lore forum. We'll start with that. Known volumes are hard to guess at and don't seem to have been mentioned much (if at all)

1 Ilm (Im) = 2.54 cm
1 Fulm (Fm) = 12 Ilm = 30.48 cm
1 Yalm (Ym) = 3 Fulm = 0.9144 meters
1 Malm (Mm) = 1,760 Yalm = 1,609 meters

1 Onze (Oz) = 28.35 grams
1 Ponze (Pz) = 16 Onzs = 453.6 grams
1 Tonze (Tz) = 2,000 Ponzs = 907.2 grams

Rule of thumb is to just use the USA's system. Why? Because to almost any other country, it will fit right in with a fantasy atmosphere. It'll be completely foreign to them. Why? Because the US is one of only three countries (others being Liberia and Myanmar) that have not converted to the metric system.

(Uncle) Sam, I am disappoint.

Anyway, Volume.

I reckon there ain't one in a dozen with an onze o' truth behind 'em.

If those engineers could pursue their passions without heed to the costs of rare materials and the price of a pint of ceruleum.
