Hey-o!

Actually, "Project Manager M" and I work together on the blog, each of us coming up with ideas about what to show next. I try to be a little more...er, colorful with my presentation, while...

They're just KO'd...right? Right?


(Awesome work, by the way! This voidsent approves.)

I might have slipped and accidentally copied the url for this thread, accidentally pasted it into a mail that was accidentally addressed to Yoshi-P, and then accidentally pressed the SEND button.

Excellent point, Zetsumei.

Unfortunately, LOC's hands are tied.

Our team didn't have any say in the naming of the app, so we were just as surprised as you when we got the request to translate...

No time for a WMD, so this firecracker will have to suffice until the loremaster and I can put together a complete post.

FUN FACT: The 'middle names' of the Garelans who have appeared in XIV...

Hello all,

Allow me take a few moments to shed a little light on the naming conventions used for Padjals.

First off, the language that the names are based off of is that of the Ainu peoples,...

Great write up guys!

As a Square Enix employee, I'm not allowed to promote any one site, but if I were allowed, I'd promote this one. But I'm not allowed, so I won't. (/wink /wink) (Those winks...

Excellent job catching all those 1.x references to Nym, guys.

It was really hard for a lot of us on the writing and localization teams towards the end of the Sixth Astral Era, knowing that a lot...

Hey Catapult,

Thanks (as always) for taking the time to chime in to show off the nuggets you've gathered while panning for lore.

HOWEVER, the Ahriman Assayer (scribbles down idea for new...

You, sir, win a cookie.

I could comment on how full of win this is, but that comment would only detract from the win, so I suppose I'll just float back silently into the void.

Good question!

Big enough to sustain the 20-50 females (and the few odd tia) which will follow the nunh. If we're talking an area that only contains ground squirrels, it'll have to be pretty...

Sorry about the confusion here.

It is, in fact, more of an 'ee' sound than an 'ih' sound.

When spoken quickly, however, sounds will become shortened, and can come to resemble others. That is...

Come on. We all know he dual-wields. He carries big macuahuimeh. ;)



*No, Fernehalwes has not just confirmed ninjas or dual-wielding.

Hey Lucke,

Sorry for the confusion, here. Please refer to the newly added bold-y-ness of my quote:

Clans will still be distinct enough to call them clans. :)

Hello guys!

The same topic was brought up in the JP forums, so the loremasters decided to make an official response.
Here is a rough translation of what it says:

As is indicated by...

The whispers. The innuendo! It's driving me mad! I must put an end to this!

Apostrophes in names?

YES YOU CAN!

:D

Thank you for the question, Empyrean.

Mishaela is correct here.
The plural for both nunh and tia is the same as the singular form (you will not add an 's').

Example:
My best friend was a tia...

Thanks for the post Myranda!

Way, way back before Eorzea was even Eorzea, and rapture still filled our young hearts, the loremasters and I had a discussion about using 'special' characters. And,...

Thanks for the question Inaaca!

There are many Keeper of the Moon family names that have been passed down through the generations.
The ones you see in-game (thank you for compiling that list...

Looks like it got buried, but I mentioned HERE about eventually getting all these additional naming tidbits popping up in individual threads added to the stickies. I may need a bit more time, as...

If I was director/producer, not only would there be bear enemies, but there would be a playable bear race, lost bear civilizations complete with ancient bear technology, bear gods, and a bear-shaped...

Just for your reference, here is a list of some of the publications that have appeared either in-game or on the official (1.0) website.

I spoke once again with the other Lore masters, and it appears that I left out one important bit of information.

There are tia within the 26 existing tribes who, instead of defeating an existing...
