Your favorite name/description/line/text/words.

So, this game has a really good localization. And it shows damn near everywhere. Colorful names, memorable dialogue, creative translation, and double-entendres in every sense of the term.

So, post your favorite piece of it. Be it a line of dialogue, item description, NPC, enemy, or place name, ability name, etc.

Though these often speak for themselves, oftentimes the references can be obscure, so do explain!

I'll start with mine:

The Warrior ability name Holmgang: This is a Swedish word for a specific form of formal dueling in medieval Scandinavia. A cloak was thrown on the ground and both combatants were to fight without stepping foot off.

Naming your axe-fighter's draw-in move after an appropriately vicious way that vikings settled disagreements? Owns.

Say My Name

Zone:
Eastern La Noscea - Raincatcher Gully

Local legend states that he who calls the name of Metshadjas three times will summon the unspeakable woodland monstrosity from deep beneath the earth to wield destruction on the world above. Fortunately, few can pronounce the name. Unfortunately, it appears someone was lucky.

"But to do this, I need a fire what's hotter than the seventh hell. An' to keep such a fire alive an' ragin', I need a wind what's fiercer than the…than the…er, hangover I had last week."

Also from Gerolt..

"Some creatures are best left alone. Cuachac is a giant jellyfish which consumes its prey by stunning it with its poisonous tentacles, then dousing it in a corrosive liquid which slowly reduces the prey into an easy-to-digest pile of gelatinous ooze. Cuachac is best not left alone. Cuachac must be slain." That's probably my favorite FATE description.

As far as actual NPC dialogue, though, I think it would have to be the MNK questline and having the historian's dialogue cut up with <babble>.

A bit dated, being from 1.0, but \/ is my favorite.
