The change to NPC dialogue was overdue

"Dialog from certain NPCs will now change to reflect player progress.". Hopefully it covers all the places you visit in the main storyline at bare minimum, having people in Forgotten Spring still treat me like a tool after doing all that garbage for them is pretty frown worthy

Hopefully at least the guild NPCs will acknowledge that you were actually a member at one point and helped with all their problems instead of "HI THERE, STRANGER. THIS IS THE PUGILIST'S GUILD. HOW CAN I HELP YOU?"

This is a really nice change. I love having completed all the class quests and yet when they talk to me it's like they've never seen me before in their life.

It's about time is all I can say - about the only quest npc who actually still remembered me post-quest is Jenlyns the PLD quest npc, where as important story quest npcs just draw a blank.

Now if only SE could do something about that stupid amnesia blocking everyone's memories of my character from five years previously (story wise) - I'm sick and tired of Miounne regarding my character as someone she's only just met, where I have photographic proof that says otherwise! ;)

I'm just glad to know Curious Gorge will finally remember me.

I'm curious to see how much dialogue is actually changed. It felt weird when finishing the culinarian quests that the Sultana had no idea who I was and I had just finished the main story the day before. >_<

I know it's like HOE I just did that for you and this is how I'm treated?! Don't even start with me again GRANDMA! GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Odd, when I did it like 2 months ago, the Sultana mentionned she was surprised to see me there.

From what I recall, the Goldsmith guild master seemed to remember me during the last seasonal event.

But yeah. A part of me felt down all the other times I suddenly became a stranger to all the npcs during quests.

Raya-o-senna has been trying to convince me for the past 8 months that I don't know who she is or what White Magic is used for even though I spent gods know how many hours risking life and limb for the damn forest.

While I do think it is silly that alot of NPCs whom you dealt with in the process of completing class/job/storyline quests for did treat you like a level 1 novice all the time outside of quests, I think this is more aimed at those of us with Legacy characters where, after a certain quest, you should be rightfully recognized for your accomplishments Before Meteor. Like how everyone remembers the Warriors of Light's deeds but not their faces. Mionne should have known better! I signed her book twice! Humorous alias... honestly.

Minor spoiler:
You are told she asked for you by name but during the cut scene she asks who you are. Her not knowing you is key to the reveal that you weren't actually asked for by name. That's what I remember at least. Something like "Ness, I didn't know you were an accomplished chef" would have sat better and also fit.

This is a really welcome change. It's always bugged me when content wouldn't keep track of player progress.
