Steps:
1. Find a zone where the Yagudo Theomilitary's Divine Disseminators are attacking/defending.
2. Find Moo Ouzi the Swiftblad.
3. Look in the chat log, see his name spelled as Moo Ouzi the Swiftblade.
4. Go to Castle Oztroja (Present)
5. Spawn Moo Ouzi the Swiftblade.

Essentially, my report is about a typo that's been in the game since the start of WotG and Campaign that I just happened to remember after one of my rare trips to a Windurst Campaign battle. Above the mob, the name is missing the "e" at the end of "Swiftblade." It is spelled properly in the chat log, and the original NM in present day is also spelled properly. It's just the one instance, and it's in every zone he appears in in the Crystal War era.

Odds are this is not a bug. FFXI was designed for Japanese first, and long names like that probably run right up to the character limit. Japanese has a lot more characters, and so names can be condensed more than in English.
