FERNEHALWES!!! Lore Book?

[Rannie]

Your English teacher is as mad as a fish.

Yorkshire dialect = north of England (Sean Bean as Boromir or Ned Stark). Found in Wuthering Heights/The Secret Garden.

Moorish dialect = well... The Moors were medieval Muslims from North Africa who conquered much of southern Europe 1300 years ago. To say something is 'Moorish' means you are pertaining to their culture. They influenced the Basque (now a region of France and Spain) language heavily, so if there was a 'Moorish dialect' of anything it would be of Basque (does sound a bit like 'Baroque', admittedly ).

Nothing Moorish in Wuthering Heights!

I guess I was lucky in that I was familiar enough with Yorkshire that I didn't notice it in Wuthering Heights or The Secret Garden! lol


I think I'm off-topic, sorry!

*shrugs* ok whatever this she told me hmm lets see... 17 years ago so it doesn't matter if she was right or wrong anymore and I really don't care either

I am related to fish, good sir! You wouldn't be insulting my relatives, now, would you?

Fair enough. Some people care about knowing things right, some don't. I'm one of the former and there might be other folk reading who are grateful for the knowledge. From the 0 likes on my post, I think most people here, like you, probably don't care though!

Depends if you take mad as an insult. A lot of folk just take it as a way of life. And yes Hesty, you too are mad as a fish.

It is always wonderful to learn. I enjoy reading your posts. I also wholeheartedly support sharing one's knowledge with others. Be that as it may, I didn't click like on your posts because I felt said posts were impolite towards Mister Rannie. I think that is why Mister Rannie said, "I don't care". I am sure you meant all the best, though, M-J-O ol' pal.

Hey, now, I am a mad hatter, and proud of it, but these fish relatives of mine told me to send words downstream your way. I apologize in advance for any threatening (and quite possibly slimy) messages written on your walls. I also apologize for the crawdad in your toilet. He's like a hitman but of the sea.

Ah, well Rannie, no offense intended at all to you. Maybe some toward your English teacher's knowledge of English. I blame Abriael anyhow. Thankfully I have my Hestern Moral Compass TM on hand to see me straight.

Something about a lore book/library in-game, out-of-game and in my lady's chambers.

I like the FFXIII datalog - something a bit more fantasy-y for FFXIV though? Or maybe the HGttG, as so much is pulled from other literary sources. Though I guess it would be "The Adventurer's Guide to Hydaelyn" Hmm...

Hey, way to derail the topic! I thought this was the english forums where we make threads about everything we dont like. Anyway... is there any chance of getting a small atlas along with the lore book? Perhaps showing some comparisons of before and after.
I saw a composite map of La noscea and it actually matches up well with how it was in 1.0 so it made me think of the rest of the world and being able to see the changes on a large map.

Hestern Moral Compass TM

Whoa, weird, my sister calls me that, too!

He he...habits.

Love ya, M-J-O!

I really want a library of lore...so I can just swim in all the juicy details. Like a fish.

And you do know that a lot of things such as the jobs were inspired from the Canterbury Tales, right? Such as "Summoner." In the book, the Summoner had "carbuncles" all over his face. That was a dead give away to me that the Final Fantasy "jobs" were inspired by that book.

Vast quantities of the lore and naming, especially of monsters, has etymological roots in classical mythology; I love the references that SE makes use of.

Fernehalwes, Thanks for all the hard work you have done for the cause of us. One more request if it can be done. While roaming around checking things and seeing sights I noticed 1 thing. It is hard to read a lot of the posters in the beta. I know this might seem silly, but get those minions of yours to sneak into design and "boost up" the graphics on those posters. I need to know what's going on in the Forgotten Springs camp. Is it a party? A hunting competition? A talent show? Or the announcement of scheduled couplings for the tribe? Thanks for the time Fern. You wont let us down.

wow i never read those... I was atleast forced to read Wuthering Heights in 9th grade... the moorish tongue gave me a headache the first time i read it... was canturbury tales good at least?

On topic I do support some type of Lore book

Kinda late to reply lol. I read it when I was in high school (some 16 years ago), so most of it is forgotten, but I do remember it was a hard read, along the lines of Beowulf (also read that in HS X.x).
