[OOC] Final Fantasy

[rivaan]

Well geomancers arent usually found in navire so they most likely have normal maps of the mine. At least of the part of it that's explored :3

[Archangel89]

I'm trying to debate why a rocket chicken rider would travel around as a hero for hire any thoughts?

[rivaan]

he got kicked out by the rest of his rocket chiken buddies for being too heroic :3

[SiliconColt]

Something something wise chocobo sent you because of a prophecy something something windmills are dragons, something something follow the wind.

[rivaan]

so he got send by a wise chocobo, acuse dragons are turning into windmills and he must follow the wind till he coresses 7 mountains, swims 7 seas, walks though 7 pair of steel boots and eats through 7 steel breads to fulful a prophercy to stop the dragon turnign windmill epidemy

[SiliconColt]

I have no idea what that meant but lol totes the plot of this game.

[rivaan]

:3 that my friend was a standart setting for a fairy tale :3

[Archangel89]

I like that prophecy idea...I think I will incorporate that somehow.

[rivaan]

for as the grand list of rpg clichees dictates, everything ever was prophecied

[SiliconColt]

Just wait till we get to Que. Youll see there's some weird things going on. And that's a prophecy.

[rivaan]

I'm waiting, I'm waiting... not like I can do something else anyway :3

<Snipped quote by Aphelion>

That was more of a joke. I didn't mean to offend, and I'm sorry if I did.

@Uruvion

oh no, you didn't offend me. I was just worried I had offended you. Tone is so hard to tell with text. xD

I think Lume will get along with the chocobo ;3 maybe they can talk to eachother, on account of both being birds. I think that'd be super special xD

[SiliconColt]

Bird Common is now a language of this world. This is a thing.

On the note of languages we have...

Northwest Common, West common, East Common, Southeast Common and North East common. All of them are comparable with each other but there as different from each other as Southern American English to London British English. So its like really stretching for someone in Navire to carry a conversation with someone in the far north east (hint hint) but that's something well each get to have fun with. (Like asking, "what? Speak more slowly please.")

Specific languages that are different are per kingdom with only remote kingdoms having no common language. Such examples would have a long history of isolation with the world. Youll get to see some fun with patron blessings and languages pretty quick.

So anyone want to elaborate on kingdom specific languages if they can fit it into their history?

[Leolycan]

Yeah, I had planned on Koji speaking in very short and simple sentences. He's more of a fighter then a talker anyways... Not to mention the frustration he first felt when he arrived and tried to hold casual conversation with the populous. Gave talk the bird and now acts more then he speaks.

Edit: Also, since his clan lives amongst dragons, I'd figure he'd be able to speak the language of dragons. Or at least if the DM is willing.

[Aphelion]

Given the nature of Caelum, bird common is probably the best fit for them XD

@Leolycan Dragon would be a good language for your kingdom, I agree. :]

[rivaan]

Well Selie're will be speaking decent west common. After all she was chosen to go to Navire so it only makes sense she has the closest language skills possible from her race. With that said, the majority of her people would speek in an unique dialect caused by the 200+ years of isolation. So conversing with them without knowing the dialect would be like trying to use english to speak to someone only knowing french. There are some similarities, but otherwise it's pretty much not possible.

[Archangel89]

I can see Rinn speaking bird common as well as eastern common...the only question is which?

[SiliconColt]

Animal languages:

Bird Common, Sea Common, Beast Common, Dragonic, Fey, Terra (see your nearest geomancer for details), Devil-talk, holy-speak, Howling (a unique language known to certain beasts including wolves and stuff), and insect (which is more or less scrambling around and clicking).

[Aphelion]

So Caelum = a mix of bird common and sea common?

edit: I'll think more about it later, certainly a conundrum. I would figure that they have a close relationship to Sigilyph as a people. But what do Patrons speak as a whole? Or do they just adopt the language of their people/are the originators for said language?

[Leolycan]

Made changes to Koji's story to kind of explain the environment. And the language barrier
