About current languages

[Ildur]

Yes, but here's the problem: languages are never mentioned as a thing that exists beyond this one line (that isn't conclusive, as it's in the beggining of a motivational speech), and the Echo's handwave does nothing to stablish that the languages exist or how they are spread across the continent. The only purpose of the Echo truly serves practically (besides the foreshadowing) is to speak with the beast tribes, who are very clearly indicated as having their own languages. We never get any indication that, say, this is the case with Ishgard or Ul'dah. As far as the game bothers to show you, everyone speaks the same language and all evidence we have that they exist is Minifilia.

She might as well replace the word "languages" with "flying pigs" and it would have the same ammount of empirical (in-game) evidence.
