Missed the best one.

[Draylo]

Hm I don't really get that one.

[Fwahm]

She's implying that her master (aka you) told her that Zeid and Lion followed you around during all your missions to leech fame from your accomplishments.

[Teryu]

Finally someone says it.

Which isn't completely inaccurate... sometimes in these cutscenes after winning big battles I find myself wondering why some of the npcs are even their and why they are acting like "we" won

[Teryu]

Every FFXI npc is basically that fat prince kid from DQ8 or Pokey from Earthbound.

[Spira]

except maybe Shantotto lol

[dasva]

I'd argue the CoP storyline wasn't as bad at that. imo they did a decent balance between making the player and npcs matter both in story and in some fights. At least some of the npcs like Prishe and selth and Ulmia sorta. Though the rest were basically hanger ons or comic relief

[bungiefan]

You haven't seen the game text about Maat and his panty-destroying Asuran Fists yet, have you?

What line is that? First I've heard of it. Not surprised the Japanese did something like this though.

Just think of them as like, sports fans. "We won, we won!" ... I didn't see *you* on the field...

[Bukadan]

honestly i think whoever complained about repeated names instead of something that matters is beyond professional help lol

[Rwolf]

Except that name repeat is just going to likely go to the Localization Team to be resolved. So it doesn't really affect the rate of improvements, as they wouldn't be working on battle mechanics or anything else you might deem important.

Except thats not a localization problem. Mob names are the same whether its in JP or NA, same with the pet name.

Atleast I'm almost certain this is the case.

[Hoshiku]

Bouncing bertha v bouncing bertha... go! It does seem like a silly thing to be worried about though.

[Suteru]

You act like them answering this question takes away from them answering an important question. Truth is, it doesn't matter. They will rarely, if not never, answer questions that matter.

They are. But it turns out that it's the Localization team that deals with all names in the game, any version.

[Hoshiku]

Don't think it's the answering of the question that people think is a waste - more the time wasted to fix the issue (where they could have been updating monstrosity damnit). Although if it's localization team I guess that's really just less time for Unelonboro to chat in that awesome thread on the OF.

[Rwolf]

Pretty much what Sapphire said, they handle it for all. There's bugs similar to that on the Official Forums about name changes. It is a minor thing to ask for sure, but I'm pretty sure that's all they are responsible for. It bugged me when I noticed about Bouncing Bertha, but not enough to bug it.

Behold.

Not massive news, but SE's Plants Vs Zombies spin-off Melpharia March is getting an XI crossover, including a sweet looking Alexander.
