    word choice error

    issue dragon on the job guide states:

    Taking to the firmament as though it were an extension of the land, they descend upon the enemy with every onze of their bodies behind the blow. It is this penetrative power that characterizes the dragoon

    should the word be onze(number 11 in french) or ounce( mass)?

    Eorzea has it's own measuring system, with "onze" being the equivalent to "ounce." There's also ponze (pounds), tonze (tons), malms (miles), yalms (yards), fulms (feet), and plenty more!

    Right, it's using Eorzean terms (which actually originated in FFXI). 'Onze' is the Eorzean equivelant for 'ounce', it's just for worldbuilding purposes.
