SUDDENLY, LANGUAGE LAWS!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
IT IS HERE, FINALLY. That which many of you have been waiting for and asking for, and that which we mods have been racking our brains over and which we finally figured out! That which comprises yet another BEHEMOTH of Landel's Damned guidelines!
LANGUAGE LAWS AT LANDEL'S
We tried our best to explain everything as thoroughly as we could, and though there's a simple little version of the rules up top, we'd like it if everyone read through the giant thing at least once so that we're all on the same page and there aren't any misunderstandings.
But haven't all these rules been contradicted by just about everybody in the past? Yes, they have! But it's okay, since we're just going to do a cleansweep and make it so that, suddenly, at the very beginning of this Nightshift, Landel's magic will make everyone's language perception snap to fit those rules, and from then on, we'll be working off of those guidelines.
I know it's a lot to read, but at least it'll help us all be consistent, yeah? D:
In other news, as you can see here,Court has totally kicked my ass again we're slowly but surely getting to the finish line! (I sacrificed app-reading time today to work on the Language Laws, as I figured we should clarify all that before Nightshift.) Hang in there, those of you who haven't gotten e-mails yet! D:
Also, Leora, where are yoouuuu? MR. PUDDLES NEEDS YOU

.... *hangs head in shame* I'll just carry on as usual, shall I? Yes. Good thing I haven't used any Japanese at all with Kadaj. |D; And the shinigami thing is mentioned already in regards to Bleach, sooooo... there we go. I will not go into a length ramble about FFVII, I swear. Somehow. They mentioned they had different languages on Gaia anyway. I'm still fucking confused about... Shinra, Mako reactors, and... whatnot. NEVERMIND. It has like no bearing at all on the language situation at Landel's so I'll just shut up now.
... But then all the signs in Edge were in English. BUT THE MAKO REACTORS WERE NUMBERED IN JAPANESE, GODDAMNIT. AND SHINRA COMPANY'S LOGO HAS THE FUCKING JAPANESE CHARACTERS FOR "SHINRA." WHAT THE HELL NATIONALITY IS RUFUS, ANYWAY? I'M SO CONFUSED. AND THERE WERE BUILDING IN WALL MARKET THAT HAD JAPANESE ON THEM I think. Wait a minute... WELL, ANYWAY. Yeah, I'm just being weird. Still, it really is weird, isn't it? And if Wutai is supposed to be like Japan, then wtf is that because they were at war with them andasdljdglkj SHUTTING UP NOW I SWEAR.

I'D SAY UH
Main language of most of the FFVII world = English, (maybe Costa del Sol speaks SPANISH???) with some Japanese interspersed due to ancient Japanese/Asian influences of Wutai before Shinra and Wutai went to war, and Wutai's language = Japanese.
...OR SOMETHING yeah I agree with Lauren up there HAHA. 8D;

Um. Um. Maybe. Could be. We'll just ignore the fact that everyone conveniently speaks the same language all over the world when you visit places in the game. And that Cait Sith miraculously sprouted an accent in the movie. And that that Rosso chick sounded Russian or something even though she was supposedly raised entirely underground somehow. Magically. Like some kind of fungus. Her and the rest of those crazy glowing Tsviet bitches. Fungus, I tell you.
... ANYHOW. Understood. ._.;;; Idon'toveranalyzeshitIswear.

Just call it Gaia-ese :[I'm going with English because...yeah. XD; WHY NOT. askldjfl;asjAnd Rufus is above nationality, he's just RUFUS SHIN-RA END OF SENTENCE KTHNX. So there. PROBLEM SOLVED.
Actually, you could just say that Shin-Ra ruled the world and therefore fucked up all the languages when they took over and this is why you have Japanese and English all over the place. \o/ [/complete BS]

.. WORKS FOR ME. 8D
... Well, that makes sense, actually. I mean, not that they'd fuck up languages, but that the same language would be standard worldwide. HMMM. Oh god, why am I still thinking about this? DX SHOOT ME PLZ, MAIA BB.
