I think this falls into the purview of localization, since maybe something was lost in translation trying to get this to fit into a tiny spreadsheet box: In the patch preview for the September version, when you say WoE 2 is "a high-tier version to occur at a set percentage" are you saying there's a chance on entry for it to be either WoE 1 or WoE 2, or does WoE 2 open up when WoE 1's completion rate or whatever reaches a certain percentage?
How do you decide which "r" to roll when writing Mithran dialog? Does it depend on the character?
Are the Mithran accent and Tarutaru speech pattern represented in a similar way in Japanese?
I'm not sure if this next question is outside of the topic, but -
Are any characters based on famous personalities? Or, has the dev team ever thought of any actors/voice actors that would represent some of the more colorful characters of Vana'diel? (I vote Tom Hiddleston for Lehko...)

Is it hard coming up with word play? For example, I was extremely impressed by the Map Marker npcs, the ones that only speak in words using 'M'. How long does it take to write dialogue for NPCs like that?
Whoever wrote this deserves a huge promotion."Good day! I'm a Merry Map Marker, and I'd be emphatically ecstatic if you'd allow me to mark your magical map! A markless map of Al Zhabi is like a motherless maiden, meandering through a miasmatic mire of misery. Marvelous! Now allow me a minute to make all my marks!". "Our local minstrel of melodies can be found here. His mirthful musicalities may help you to recall misplaced memories.Ah, and in the case you might wish to mask a meritorious moniker and replace it with one a mite more merited, a traveling bard strums upon his melilflous harp here. And mayhap you are immeasurably motivated to compete in the medieval mayhem of Conflict? Might I suggest you mingle with the modest Pursiviant located here? Methinks I have marked your magical map with as many marks as I might manage.Monitoring and managing your marks as a simple as merely opening your map and selecting Markers from the main menu. If the marks on your map might vanish mope not like a melancholy milksop. Make another meeting with me and I shall make it my mission to mark the map once more. Good day mi'lord. May your marches across meadow and mountain be markedly memorable!.
Delve localization question:
When fighting the transcendent scorpion, the battle message reads "the spring has returned to your step" when a debuff wears off the scorpion. This does not make sense in context. Is this message a mistranslation that was supposed to refer to the scorpion rather than the player?
Hmmm, wasn't that fixed? Reported here, and I recently used a russet yggrete shard IV which did indeed speak of mweya, not menace (sadly). Are these something different?
Anyblue, I remembered something at last, and I shall quote a thread of mine so as to not just type it all over again:
Sheesh. That truly seems a bit more angry than I cared to remember. I'm not a fan of trust/faith in general, so it really doesn't matter that much to me. Definitely not angry, but curious. Yes.
I'm still guessing it was very much intentional since I can see people thinking it would be weird to have the same thing going on in the party channel.
Danks!
...or so the legend says.
Unelonborro, you still with us? D: Lots of questions left unanswered, had assumed perhaps you were just busy with the conclusion of the SoA missions, but many questions and issues reported in this sub forum have been left unanswered.

Hello, everyone!
The past version updates have had me running around like a madman, but now that the December update is upon us I can get back to this thread for a little bit!
Rune Fencer vs. Rune Knight was something that was debated quite a lot internally, and there were many arguments to be made for both sides. How often does a knight run around with a great sword? How about a fencer? The answer is...not much, for either of them. In the end, we settled on Rune Fencer because the term had been used before in other Final Fantasy games, so we went with something that had a bit more visibility.
For Red Mage being a fencer via equipment but not having the ability Fencer--that's something that was before my time, so I cannot provide a definitive answer. However, I agree with you that the disconnect is a bit disconcerting!
The names of BST familiars tend to take the form of adjective + name, and when it comes down to it we try to think of combinations that either sound well together or have some special meaning. There are a couple names I've been trying to work in, but I can't seem to find the best timing for it...
