When a "star" is actually a planet... I don't know if this is a quote but it hurt to read. Sorry to shitpost.

On content: Earth does read as the best of the four options

It's a Final Fantasy XIV thing. Stars are called suns, and planets are called stars. This narration happens near the end of the Endwalker expansion and a ten-year-long story arc, and I won't say more because spoilers.

Uff, okay. So that was a quote? I assume there is a reason they did this (from my perspective bad) relabeling. (From my perspective bad because FF is often played by a younger audience and they are at risk to learn the terminomolgy wrong and keep that for their whole life. causing potential misunderstandings and embarrassings)

If a kid learns these words from a video game with dragons, magic, and fluffy moogles flying everywhere, it's really a failure of education and parenting that the kid wasn't taught the basics of science and the difference between reality and fiction, and if they aren't old enough to have been taught such things, they have no business playing FFXIV.
