Confusing Fact about the Races/Spoken

[Strongfat900]

Nah, im pretty much talking about anything that can reason higher than, eat, sleep, mate. XD

And "beastmen" can't? rofl. The "beastmen" are as sapient as the "wandering races" of Eorzea, my dude. The term, humanity, in FFXIV is pretty loose of a term really which is why it's replaced by terms like the Spoken.

Eat, sleep and mate are things that all animals do, but there's a difference between Sapient and non-Sapient creatures including in RL like with humans and non-human animals. I remember Yoshi said something that he wanted to abandon these terms in the FFXIV from some live letter in the past, partly because he wanted to remove FFXIV from FFXI's shadow when he became director of the game.
