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

[DamianFatale]

I’d be from Aer Slaunt as a Roe Viking. XD

Garlemald would be Russia. Not America. If you want to be intellectually honest about it. Trump hasn't started any wars or taken over any territories, has he?


My father grew up on a farm in Minnesota so he would be from Ishgard/Coerthas. My mom and I were both born in San Diego, CA so inbetween Ul'dah and Limsa I think.

Of course in the story, my home is Ishgard.

Do Economic wars count?

Anyway, yes Garlemald is more Russia, a country that masters the world's technology. Putin's Russia has invaded Ukraine, Georgia, and Chechnya in the last 20 years. So yeah.

Limsa Lominsa is probably the Caribbean if you focus on pirates.
Gridania is closer to Canada (more likely Atlantic Canada or Quebec) due to the forests.
Ishgard is like a cold Vatican City due to the religious overtones.
Ul'dah is more like Turkey
Kugane is essentially Japan, but more like Hong Kong for how it's arranged as neutral ground.

Garlemald would be Russia. Not America.

Is there a difference these days? lol...

On a serious note though I've always figured Garlemald to be a cross between America, Rome, and Nazi Germany.

[Niqote]

Hmm... Australia.

Likely Limsa or Gridania. Since we are girt by sea and everything in the wild tries to kill us?

Nah, Australia is Meracydia, a blasted wasteland full deadly creatures and people who hate outsiders.

I have to agree with you there (sorry Niqe!) - by all accounts Meracydia is Hydaelyn's Terra Australis Incognita. Having said that, Ala Mhigo definitely does fit some aspects of Australia though too (harsh environment, it's people with a reputation for being tough-as-nails and giving rise to more than a few talented soldiers, even it's national anthem does have more than a passing resemblance in musical structure to Australia's, as noted by more than a few people on the lore forum.

Little wonder then as an Aussie I had Enki be Ala Mhigan by birth, as it just suited her perfectly.

[hynaku]

Must likely be from Sharlayan or Garlemald.

[NessaWyvern]

Well, as a New Zealander, probably Gridania. All the trees here, and they breed Chocobos in gridania, and NZ used to have chocobo-like birds called the Moa :P
