"Mayhap"

[Shurrikhan]

You realize that a) there are literally thousands of word changes over that same time span that this game does not use, b) Eorzea is not Earth, and - most crucially - that c) in your anal desire to score points, you're completely overlooking my primary argument: that as there is no phonetic difference between 'alright' and 'all right,' there is no benefit to employing such dated text when the words actually being spoken by the characters sound no different as a result.

You gave a specific example by which to imply uneven or clumsy process on the part of the game's English localization. Your specific example happened to be a bad example. That is all. Hell, I gave the benefit of the doubt that you were referring to the medial s as "f" just for its approximate shape.

Damn Anglos failing to say the French, "Carabine."

...Now I want to see how an Ishgardian pronounces it, since it's the miniature France in an otherwise Medieval England.
