Quoting again for visilbility.

THE ENGLISH VERSION IS INCORRECT, THERE'S NO DEBATE ABOUT IT

Then again, we get stuff like Fire III instead of Firaga, so who knows.
Its odd we havent heard anything yet.

If it's really such a simple error, it's pretty disappointing it wasn't included in the recent hotfixes.

I had figured that it was intentional seeing as Kelpie are shapeshifting tricksters in Scottish mythology that are said to inhabit the lochs of Scotland. My wife picked up on it right away because of Harry Potter lol.

I personally think its not intentional, but if it were, I'd be upset if they once again changed things on us like this.

From a mechanics perspective this is a poor justification. There is no hint of the boss being a trickster other than what you said and lies are not part of its mechanics (see 24man). The mechanics are confusing and if intentional go against SEs design of clear and concise mechanics, and it is far more likely (even without th evidence of other languages - i.e. the concrete proof) that this is an error

They're not common knowledge. They're common knowledge if you've been around boats. Granted, port star fore & aft are mentioned elsewhere in the game, but these are not "common knowledge" terms. They're specialized nautical & aeronautical terms that don't appear in the top 5000 english word frequency list (basic vocabulary is around the 2k top frequency). This is like saying intractable, idempotent and omnifarious are "common knowledge".

In what reality are nautical terms 'basic vocabulary'? Holy moly, pass what you're smoking.

Let's not even go into the fact that this game isn't translated into many languages, many players use the English version without having a huge grasp on the language.

Just because a word isn't in the Top 5000 doesn't mean it's specialized vocabulary that never comes up in normal life. Other commonly-understood words missing from the 5K include: gigantic, windmill, and pancake. You're gonna need something a little more definitive.

As I linked before, the English version is the complete opposite of the other three languages.

And the example with Fire III and Firaga is something else entirely, as was explained by Fernehawles before. Here's the details on it, it's a repost of the now defunct beta forums: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme..._to_a/cbarprv/
