Not really any spoilers, but if you want to be completely blind and haven't yet played Heavensward, maybe look at this thread another day.


Something I hadn't noticed before. I used to think that Matoya's brooms were just speaking gobbledygook in their first sentences, followed by their trademark swish-swish-aroo, and then concluded with a normal sentence which we are meant to read.

I was partly correct, but I just learned that the first sentence is actually a proper sentence if read backwards. Just a small detail I am ashamed I did not pick up on initially. Apparently this is what the enchanted brooms do in FFI but I am unsure if I picked up on it when I first played that either (it has been a long, long time).

"I live to sweep"

"Let's sweeping love"


I don't know. I thought it was pretty sweet. I used to believe they must have been speaking in another tongue entirely. Perhaps some arcane language from Matoya's dusty tomes.
