Inappropriate EN Localization Valentione Quest Text

Apparently OP never did the FATEs at the Highbridge in Eastern Thanalan during ARR where the two Miqo’te talk about stroking their captain’s bridge lever together. Or he just jumps at any flimsy excuse to blame things on the “new localization team”.

Innuendos or even direct references to sex have been in the game’s English version since the beginning. Grow up.

Oh no, dirty jokes. Whatever will people think? Bruh did you completely forget how lewd Haurchefant was in original Japanese? They toned him down for the other languages because they didn't want it to come off as sexual harassment. Trust me the Japanese version has likely done far worse.

I mean, at least he wasn't eating a burger.



This is in line with all the other innuendo in the game. Apparently OP has never done fates in coerthas. Ser alaimbert of the spiked butt is far worse than this.

aren't there two NPCs in aleport that talk about two other NPCs getting caught literally "f*cking like rabbits in the bunks" or something

The FR localization is usually close to JP and the wood innuendos are completely absent from it.
But it's a series of puns which only really work in English, wood doesn't have the same connotation in French.
I think the NA localization just saw the opportunity and rolled with it instead of trying to manoeuver around it.

I mean seriously this is pretty funny, lets stop being snowflakes and getting every single fun thing removed please, thank you

True but usually sometimes they play along with whatever intended humorous effect was given in the original scene. Since the cutscene the npcs are expressing something of the sort I assume the japanese script played to a joke thats akin to that or at least similar.

Curious to know what the original dialogue was

I think it's hilarious, but our buddy Beatin here is also going on about his love of stroking wood to a bunch of kids.

Won't someone think of the children?

OP, aren't you the same person who wants FFXIV to be super grown up and mature? You seem too timid to bear some inappropriate humour...

Someone clearly hasn't done the carpentry quest line. :rolleyes:

This is how he talks and it's clearly a reflection on the reader if they find it perverted.
