I've noticed since the update numerous mistakes in the dialogue. One was while reading the Lords of Verminion explanation stuff. Another was during the current event where (without spoilers) it says "give me once last chance" when it should be one last chance. And the third I've seen so far I don't remember where I saw. A fourth one I saw was 2 words together with no space. And no, none of these mistakes was due to the character in question talking a certain way unique to them or their people.
Is someone else doing the English dialogue now?

Personally I've seen mistakes like these before, I don't think it's exclusive to this patch/content.

When you have hundreds of thousands of words to type out, there are bound to be one or two mess ups.

If you can post details about the mistakes at the feedback > Localization forums you can help them track these down and fix them that much quicker. Corvinoobus in particular stalks those forums, I'm sure they'd appreciate the help.

Right after that last post I left I ran into another during one of the post moogle quests with the fisherman (finishing up the moogle quests late, lol), which is 2.X content. So maybe it was more common in 2.X than I ever noticed. Next time I see, I'll take a screenshot and post there.Quote:

The dialogue repetition towards the end of the 3.1 MSQ (Alphinaud twice saying that he'll go talk to Tataru, in almost-but-not-quite the same words) is a really bad offender, but I also stumbled on the 'once last chance'. I generally had a feeling that the written dialogue was a bit of a rush-job this time around, which honestly would be really, really sad for a story-driven game.
And in before "but you understand what it means so it's okay" - If you are about to say this or any variation thereof, look up what 'professional' means first. -

Well, whatever the case, mistakes happen.
As Wellfooled kindly pointed out, there is a place where you can get the attention of the Localization team to have errors fixed.

The best one was when alphinaud had a small stroke and said I best go tell tataru.. Well I best go tell tataru.
He said it twice in the same chat box XD whoever was typing that one out must have been really drunk.
