Based on your own culture, where would you be from in XIV?

Yanxia. Gramp's house and many others in the village look like the ones in Yanxia. Terrain is similar, too, paddy fields, granite quarries, bamboo trees, everything. No tigers though, just free range Silkies (chicken).

I'm both Hawaiian, Japanese and Chinese. So I would do either Pacific islander (first) and Asian (second).
If I'm going by Pacific Islander blood, then I'd be from Doma, being that the US overthrew our Monarchy in Hawaii and played similar to the Garleans in conquering our people.
If I'm going by Asian ethnicity, then I'd be from Kugane.

That's... hard. There is nothing really who symbolize Spain. Can be maybe the north of Thanalan, since Thanalan itself represent Africa. For some reason, Sabotenders have Spanish names. But.. that is near Mor Dhona, or even Dravania. Holy shit...

Limsa cannot be, since that represent more like Caribbean Sea, but some characteristics are similar to Spain.

Dad from Doma, Mom from Garlemald, and I'd be from Doma somewhere but end up becoming an adventurer-artist who now sells paintings in Idyllshire of places I've been.

Got banned from Ishgard because I like painting dragons too much, though maybe I'd get invited back by Aymeric after the war is over to paint more dragons.

Far west Texas

No idea, maybe somewhere in Thanalan because it's all desert out here

We Canadians would be most the obvious choice for Gridania and the Black Shroud. Lots of trees, people with French names and we are very diverse.

I see you as Ishgard too. There’s so much snow in Canada.

I would be from Yanxia/Doma. Go figure.

Only one person mentioned the people from the Americas would be from the "New World"/ Western Continent. I don't think any other option fits for most of the United States outside Florida. So for NY/ NJ, I would say the "New World."

La Noscea also makes sense for those in certain parts of the Americas, such as the Caribbean but strangely enough Scandinavia also with it's sea warrior culture. It's an odd mix on paper, but it seems to work well enough.

Coerthas and the Black Shroud both seems to borrow heavily from Western and Central Europe for different reasons. You have the more developed Ishgard versus the more natural Gridania. Europe has plenty of forests that the Black Shroud could represent such as the Black Forest.

[AmemeAmeklin]

True, the New World is apparently the Americas...so that means everyone from the Americas is Mamool Ja XD
