Isn't "version update" supposed to be "patch" instead?

I read the latest info on the Lodestone main site, and it reads "Regarding Replacement of Retainers after Version Update". I thought "Patch" was the new name for Version Update, unless SE plans on going back to the term Version Update after all the necessary fixes are done.

Do we really need a thread for every misused or mistranslated term?

Just a little strange to see the term "Version Update" used outside of ff11, that's all :(

i like version update better, make it sound big. Patch sounds small and trivial, like this thread, lol.

1.18 to me sounds like a big patch so this one my subligar says OK to using the term 'update'

It's a cultural difference I think. In Japan it is considered a Version Update, but in English it is a patch. I think they just translated it word for word rather than subbing in "Patch".
