Land, Continent and World... what?

Hydaelyn is such a bad name. Sometimes JP's try too hard.

Eorzea is better, Aldenard/mard is actually great, as well as the other continents.

Roegadyn is also cringe-worthy. The rest is all good.

How do we try hard? It's not that easy finding a good non generic name that's pronounceable between multiple languages lol.

They're Celtic-influenced. Celtic likes to liberally use the "sometimes Y" clause of the Law of Vowels.

Ah. I've always found Celtic odd, probably why I don't like it. It doesn't sound good on my tongue. "I" would be more natural.

Reminds me of that one hound-type mob with celtic name.. Cwn Annwn. That's Welsh though.

I do hope it is influenced by something, JP's are notorious of just putting together syllables that sound cool and "English" (same thing).

and no, I'm not an apologist for them Jennestia, sorry about that.

Thanks for the replies guys, you've cleared some things up for me, it was the islands that confused me really because on Earth islands are still part of continents so I don't see the need to give an extra name for that. But this is not Earth so I guess I can accept that lol.

Thanks again, you've made my first experience in the community a very positive one. Kudos to all!

Ah yes Welsh, fans of the little-used "sometimes W too" clause of the Law of Vowels.

I fear your last sentence may be accurate. At least in XI the word "Mithra" has a real-world meaning (Mithra is a Zoroastrian god I think). As far as I can tell "Roegadyn" doesn't mean squat. Maybe its Celtic for "Galka with no tail".
