Often npcs off-handedly mention your character as 'foreign born', particularly the Adventurer's Guild proprietor when first mentioning the Calamity stating that your character was probably unaware of what had happened to Eorzea due to being from another country (which then gives a convenient narrative excuse to go into detail about the player's starting city and to explain about the Calamity and the Warriors of Light).

Anyway, that's enough thread derailling from me. Carry on.
