A thought occured to me recently after reading up on Garlean lore and the connection to Goug. Namely some of the dialogue from the Ivalice raids that note that the techonology found in Goug is very similar to the tech the Garleans use presently. Which is largely based on Allagan technology because of resident stinky ancient ghost Emet-Selch (builder of both Allag and Garlemald (possibly also Goug??). Goug is stated to be where the people who would become known as Garleans are from. Their genetic ansectors basically, and I was struck with the thought of why maybe Garleans can't use magic. Operating on the thought that the Allagans were responsible for doing genetic experiement fuckery, and creating the bases for the Garlean people (aka no magic for you). I wonder if Emet-Selch (with Amon/Fandaniel's assistance) purposely experiemented to see if they could create people that couldn't use magic in a counter attack against Hydalyn. Garleans cannot gain the Echo. So maybe a Garlean *also* couldn't gain the Blessing of Light, or that was the aim. So if Azem ever reincarnated into a Garlean body, the Blessing wouldn't manifest, and neither would the Echo. They would be *free* of they're role of Warrior of Light, and could be more readily brought back into the Ascian fold.

Got a hold of the digital Encylopedia Eorzea and it's got some good shit about Allag in it, including this....
Tumblr media
So it seems this is why he seemed so grotesque; the aether fundamentally changed him.
But of course, we can't forget the one who made this all possible.

for Rowan: How often does your character have nightmares? for Miranda: What gift would your character give to someone they didn't like but felt obligated to?
Rowan's nightmares come and go with her recovery process. She definitely had a lot as a child, and has vivid, if nonsensical dreams when she remembers them most of the time. Sadly, Rowan only counts a disturbing dream as a nightmare if something bad happens to someone else.  She had a lot of nightmares after returning from Ultima Thule, and she never returns there in any canon.
On a lighter note, Miranda is the type who would have a precise price point to spend for those type of gift giving situations. She would then go to Allagan Walmart, go to the "As Seen On the Nodes!" section, and get something at said price. If Prospero sends her out to get something significantly more expensive for a colleague, she still gets something tasteless to show contempt.
Thanks for the asks!

[Language barriers and the Echo Anon] You ever keep yourself awake at night thinking how they hand waved currency differences in FFXIV. Sure I’m fully aware that tomestones, tribal currency and other such things exist but the majority of things are paid with Gil. It makes sense in Eorzea but less so elsewhere. Kugane can be justified with being the only open trading port of Hingashi, Thavnair receiving trade from Eorzea and the First’s currencies being so tossed about post Flood they accept Gil now but would it really make sense in places like Yanxia or Rak’tika(rural)? I don’t want to think about how places that you aren’t supposed to visit again lore wise(Elpis, UT and the illusory Amaurot in Tempest) can accept gil as payment and or even trade goods.
I really don't worry about it, especially if we go with the idea of Gil being a typical gold-based currency just with a funny name.
It was also an Allagan thing, recycled by Eorzeans. And with trade with Eorzea being common, it does mostly work in the Source. Yanxia is Doma, more open to trade and outsiders than even Hingashi, and has been part of Garlemald besides - and the Empire has no issue taking Eorzean coin and probably has a similar Allagan-inspired currency that's equivalent, given how much else they base upon the old empire.
Mostly it IS a gameplay convenience even more than the languages so players don't also have to worry about the Gil to Koban exchange rate, but there's also nothing saying the WoL and Scions aren't dealing in Koban when in the East and the game just doesn't deal with that.
As for the First, that's just a mess of handwaving a world actively in the midst of apocalypse and maybe we'll get more details in the 3rd lorebook, but they seem to be having a "collapse the languages and currency down since the remaining population is so small" situation there, and everyone has to trade with one another for survival purposes; even the Viis, who start working with the Qitari and the Night's Blessed.
And while a barter system for the Viis on introduction (or even the Xaela of the Steppe) might seem to make sense, it also unnecessarily complicates and bogs down story and gameplay, so like a LOT of other things in the game, shorthands it to "they just take your coin."
Which I find more and more, people kind of forget, especially when criticizing how "fast and easy" something resolves, that in the scope of the game, pretty much everything is shorthanded to keep gameplay and story moving along, from conversations to rest periods to equipment acquisition to scenes we don't see play out between NPCs and to the vast majority of gameplay mechanics where they intersect with character actions and interactions.
FFXIV tries real hard to make some gameplay part of the world and story, like teleportation. Or they make bland excuses on why we can wander around the 3 city-states post-Banquet, or why the WoL isn't given a shock collar too in Tertium, or can keep visiting unique locations for specific storypoints like Ultima Thule and Elpis. And if we were playing a traditional standalone, single-player FF game, those situations would be written and played out differently.
But sometimes a lore lampshade is just a lampshade, and not all game mechanics are actually lore, but ways for players to fill in the gaps when it comes to Roleplay and Fanfiction.
EDIT: And here's a post from some other folks, with some sources, that barter wasn't as widespread as people think, most places - even remote and sparsely populated - had regular commerce, and currency of some form was far more common and far-reaching than might be assumed.
Remember, folks: Hollywood and other media rarely have accurate portrayals of history, and our own modern assumptions of things being different "back then" are often wrong. Street vendors and athletic sponsorships were common in Rome and "Tiffany" is a medieval (nick)name.
