If you look at Fish Ranking in Selbina, the text is:
Quote:
Chenon : Ranking results may be viewed for 1hour, 5 minutes (Earth time).

Which is missing a space between 1 and hour.

The meaning you refer to is slang. With the same logic, they shouldn't call one of the seasonal events "Egg Hunt" because in New Zealand "egg" means "dumbass".

I would have to disagree. An egg is a tangible thing; ie a noun, so it would rarely be mistaken for it's slang counterpart if used in the correct context.

I was only merely informing people that if you were to use this word in England it has a entirely different meaning altogether; hence my post illuminating this fact. It's not a word I hear using it's actual definition at all so you can see my confusion surely? In hindsight, I learned a new word today, but it would be one I would never use in casual conversation via the orginal definition! xD

I wasn't up in arms. I was merely pointing out the hilarity of it all and perhaps making the suggestion that I haven't heard the saying "none for the nonce" outside of the game. Seriously you guys are quite high strung huh? Perhaps you need a ***... ;P

Odin also uses "for the nonce", which makes sense given his speaking tone.



(I just so happened to see this as I was grinding Odin clears for title and was saving each response)

OP is now updated with all confirmed reports.

I tried my best to go through and verify if the issues previously reported were fixed or not. I did miss a couple: they fixed Macuil Plating at some point in time, as well as Lynx Collar. Missed them on BG too, but all fixed now.

Edit with a report: Guttler 119 III (ID: 21750) is missing the line "Additional Effect: Choke"

Nothing in FFXI is there to be offensive, I don't care if it sounds bad to some people or not. All that matters is the intention.

They brought back Critical Parry again, even though they fixed all of them previously. The following items have Critical Parry on them, and they should be Tactical Parry to match everything else....

Hattori Kyahn +2 (ID: 23365)
Hattori Kyahn +3 (ID: 23700)
Maculele Tights +2 (ID: 23304)
Maculele Tights +3 (ID: 23639)

The buffs you get when you cast Scholar's -storm II spells are distinct from the base -storm spells and the JP resources have a "II" indicator after them to distinguish them, but the English version just calls them the same thing.

So if a JP user casts Voidstorm on themselves, they receive the "妖霧の陣" buff. When they cast Voidstorm II on themselves, they receive the "妖霧の陣II" buff.

When a NA user casts Voidstorm, they get the "Voidstorm" buff. When they cast Voidstorm II, they get another buff named "Voidstorm". It should be "Voidstorm II".

Sortie key items are named things like "Ra'Kaznar Sheet #B", but "#B" doesn't actually make sense in English unless it's a very short hashtag. They probably originally had #1-#8 and switched to #A-#H without removing the #.

Related, the Fragment key items are still using #1~#4

Vitiating chapeau +1 is all ***.


This is less of an error and more an oddity. The duration and magic accuracy boost depends on the count of merits you have, so unless they use the "~" to show the values (mostly only used on Unity gear and old level scaling gear), I doubt they'd change it.

Then again, sometimes they do really odd things. I still am amazed they took Orunmila's Torque from '"Fast Cast" effect+5' to the much less descriptive 'Increases "Fast Cast" effect' instead of just doing the logical '"Fast Cast"+5%'...

It's an inconsistency, since the other pieces all say things like Enhances "Savagery" effect when improving merit categories, not just a list of the merit categories they improve.

Can someone verify if this is still an issue after December's update?

NVM still an issue

Two issues:
1. The 700 Deed reward (Microcosmic Orb) appears as "Microcosmic Orb X5" in the AMAN Validator menu in all locations.
2. When you enter Sortie, one of the messages sent is
Sortie said:
Your shiny Ra'Kaznarian plate loses is potency and transforms into a dull Ra'Kaznarian plate.
should be "its potency"

Two things...

First, a minor one. Herculean Boots say "Triple Attack +2" instead of +2%

Second, the Reisenjima goblin Emporox has an option "Hear about Emporox's pot." The result of selecting it is a transaction where Emporox takes 100 Eschan Beads and gives you a 72 hour "Emporox's Gift" buff, which is completely unrelated to the text "Hear about Emporox's Pot". Her menu tree also has "Hear about various explanations.", which has a bottom option of "Emporox's...pot?" that actually gives an explanation of what the buff does. So two proposed changes:
1. Rename "Emporox's Gift" to "Emporox's Pot" to be consistent with the dialogue.
2. Switch "Hear about Emporox's pot." to be "I would like Emporox's Pot." analogous to the below "I would like an Emporox's ring."

During the Assault "Saving Private Ryaaf", the NPC Rhagmakah says his name is Balarahb. When speaking to the NPC Balarahb, he mentions that I had spoke to Balarahb already. Looks like those 2 NPCs have their names flipped around.

Entering the battlefield for this, the fight's name in the menu appears as "To Movalpolos!."

I suspect that "!." is unintentional, although I anticipate that the period is added automatically by their menu system.

They added this error in the Feb update. Hopefully they revert it.

Guttler is still not correct it says Additional effect: Choke. With a period. Also Apocalypse says Additional effect: Blindness instead of Additional effect: Blind, though a few weapons also say Paralysis vs Paralyze, generally the items inflict what its doing so it should be Paralyze.

Most additional effects are like Additional effect: "Dispel" or without a period.

I cannot seem to find the JP DAT for the Chocobo Circuit, but in the NA DAT entry 9701 says:

Quote:
Hey, give me some personal space here. I'm not interested in seeing your nose hairs, okay?
You just want to know my numbers, huh? “ID≺Numeric Parameter 3≻:≺Numeric Parameter 0≻-≺Numeric Parameter 1≻”, satisfied?≺Prompt≻

Shows up in game like:

[05:53:37] You just want to know my numbers, huh? ��ID16402:1-4��, satisfied?

It looks like leftover debugging code that didn't get swapped out with real text. Assuming the IDs are correct, the JP version may well have the correct message.

The English text is a very faithful (and well localised) representation of what the Japanese has, so there's no discrepancy between the meaning of the English and the Japanese. "my numbers" = "combination I bought" in the Japanese text's phrasing so I guess it's about picking numbers for a bet?
