Also, when you use a delve shard to get plasm, the message has said menace plasm instead of mywea since the event was introduced.

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:

Is anyone able to tell me since when did Sakura speak languages other than Japanese?

I always figured her speech was intentionally not translated during the chocobo races. For those who never went to one, all she says is: “ピヨ！”(piyo!) and: “ピヨピヨ！”(piyopiyo!), which Markovich interprets.

I understand that having her speech not 'translated' might confuse players, but I, for one, dislike inconsistency. A lot. It's only made worse by the fact that the Sakura Biscuit is consistent regarding this matter, like so:

That is, of course, assuming that not translating her in any way was intentional in the first place. ^^

Perhaps whomever was in charge was unaware of how Sakura has been handled in the past, or it was a conscious decision so as to not “confuse” players. Or I'm confuddled myself. Either way, it seems to me that it's not the alter ego of Sakura at all, but a nisemono!

'Tis simply wrong. A kind of a translation error from what I see, which I actually was/am debating with myself on reporting it as.


Blubb!

(Note that I'm not as angry as I may have made it (intentionally) seem like, but inconsistencies truly are more and/or less silly, annoying, and even maddening to some!)

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!
