Oh boy, I can't wait for the update where Ramuh drops out of the sky like "sup dawg, we gon fight up in dis tree to see who da most swoll in da woods".

Without reading any replies here I can already tell that the OP would never survive a single hour at a Renaissance festival without losing his mind or getting eaten alive by us XD

By the way - that sentence in the screenshot - I remember that cutscene and understood every word.

Yep - I am pretty sure this is how the OP wants dialogues worded. You nailed it right on.

Pirate speak is really the only thing I have issue with when it comes to our localization. It's to the point I don't read any Limsa quests and gave up on Rogue quests as well. Too annoying to read.

At least it's far better than how some of the people I work with talk in real life (see the other post I quoted above) LOL. The game's interpretation of pirate talk is definitely more sophisticated than these kids are. In a sense, though, in games we expect every character to speak perfectly as if they have a Masters college education. having some NPCs talk like they do just reminds us that there is a bit of educational diversity even among the NPC's. To me that's more realistic.

Of course, the folks posting here would rather have everything simplified into abbreviations that they can understand. take server maintenance for example:

"GTG. Upgradez. BRB in couple hrs. TTYL. CYA."

This is the only way some players would understand to log off before getting confused as to why they were suddenly booted tonight for maintenance

There are some examples of characters in XI and XIV whose text was honestly legitimately hard to read.

Ramuh's wasn't one of them.

Dear Squeenix FFXIV translation team, please make this your top priority, thanks.

This, unfortunately, is what a lot of young people think of as normal english.

I agree with the OP. While English is my best subject and I've done AP classes in it, the text is incredibly annoying to read.
The way the people speak now in the forums is what I want to see in game more often.
They sure use "Mayhap" A LOT of times though I noticed...Limnsa is a whole different ballpark
and refuse to read anything coming out of their mouths. I never studied anything with their type of speak
in my classes.

I'm laughing at the fact they sat there and told us "Fire, Fira, Figara" whatever will make players confused
meanwhile the speak they use here is ye ole' 1700's.
Which one is more confusing SE? This is just my personal stance to it. I'm not an idiot or anything
just get tired of trying to use context clues and junk to a lot of the story.

Try reading books then.

[Mugiawara]

Would you care to recommend me some books that have these types of accents?
I'm not sure if your post was coming off rude or what, if I've been reading books
but don't recall any that has such strong accents like this.

I'm reading this games text, and I've learned new words and looked some up just to expand my vocab.
The pirate speak is too much for me, I tried it.
