    Well, I imagine the EN localization team doesn't actually talk like that IRL, so they keep using the few words they know without making the dialog overcomplicated (like Urianger).

    Like, if you had to choose between having Urianger-tier dialog in every quest or these repeated "ye olde" words in text, I'm sure most would prefer the latter.

    (and no, plain English is not an option at least for the eorzean side, maybe for other continents)

    I thought it was funny when Gotetsu [sp] said it lol.
    It just sounded so out of place for a "Japanese" dude lol.

    Portend is my personal least favorite.

    Pray happens a lot also.

    I always thought "Succor" was one of the more overused words in the game.

    This was the very first screenshot I ever took of FFXIV. All for the sake of making one stupid joke:

    I absolutely hate how they use thee/thou, etc, all over the place, because they use it to mean formal speech when it is actually the informal/personal when it was in use in English? Ugggh. They do overuse mayhaps, ere, must needs, pray, but I just chalk that up to the local dialect.
