    Weird english

    I always wanted to know why the characters in this game speak with such a weird english. My native lenguage is spanish so its really weird to read and hard to understand since its not the english im used to.

    It's an old style of English, most know it from Shakespeare's works.

    It gives characters like the primals, Midgarsomr, etc. an ancient kind of feel. They have existed for a very long time and have/will not adopt the common tongue. It really is not that difficult to understand as it is easy to replace the spoken words with those that sound correct to you. However, with someone like the OP where English is not their first language I can see why it would be more difficult.

    But if you can understand the slang that comes out of the Lominsans, you can understand anything.

    And makes Alphinaud, who is about 8 years old, sound like a douche.

    Then he is the biggest 8 year old I ever seen, for he is actually 16 or so. There are actual 8 year olds in the game and none speak the way he does.
