Currency

Gil

is the currency of the entirety of the shard of Hydaleyn. There are many ways for adventurers to earn Gil, some of which involve slaying monsters, completing quests, selling items and equipment.

Cost

To keep things consistent with the D&D 5e Players Handbook, you can use its prices but convert them. Gold will take the 100s place, Silver 10s, and Copper the 1's. For example if a potion costs 50 Gold Pieces then it will equate to 5000 Gil. If an basket costs 4 SP then it will cost 40 Gil. If a pitcher of ale costs 2 CP then it will be 2 Gil and so on.

Languages

Eorzea is home to many different races and cultures. Every race has their own select language and we also see languages separated by region such as seen with the Sharlayans, Dalmascan and Hingashi. Some languages are not in use except for a select few people such as seen with Ancient Sea wolf and the Ascian language. Languages are an important part in the immersive role-playing experience and a crafty story telling technique in the GMs toolbelt.

The Common Tongue "Hyur"

The most common language in Eorzea is simply known as the common tongue or referred to as "Hyur", barely half of the population of Eorzea is able to read or write. The Eorzean language is also spoken among beast tribes, although many have their own ticks and quirks about it. It has its own script that resembles latin and you can swap out latin characters with Eorzean script. Every race and culture can speak this language.
