Evangelus keenly spotted this yesterday, I was just wondering if anyone had found an english version of his text? Would be interesting to see what this guy has to say.

I think he's been mentioned in a sidequest somewhere as Nael Van Darnus.

Edit: Also, lolGunlance.

How does Evangelus find this stuff? Does he creep around the Japanese lodestone blogs?


FFXII Judges FTW!!! :D

He is indeed mentioned during the Twin Adder quest 'The Mail must get Through' Although Nael Van Darnus could be the Judge looking guy in the current final storyline quest.

Unlikely. Nael's armor and weapon are different from the R46 quest legatus.

He has an informer :cool:

I don't think it's the same as in the lvl46 mission (different armor, different name). Plus, there are many legions in the army, so there are many legatus (at least 14 legions, since the legatus of the 14th legion, Gaius van Baelsar, is mentionned in the game). Darnus is the legatus of the 7th legion.

holy f*ckballs. I... I.... Thats the stuff I wanna see in this games future :D :D :D

EDIT HERE -> gunlance is awesome, it has a revolver chamber.

Also let's not forget that the r46 mission guy has a gunblade and this is a gunlance (my guess is that they don't switch classes like we do lol).

Do you get a Lodestone achievement for this?

Holy molly! That's ZOMG WOW AWESOMESAUCE!!! Who the heck is he anyway? NPC, GM or is it NPC in GM's Icon?! I want to know more! /beg Translator. They're just Effin epic!

He's definitely not the same guy as Zulvan (The r46 guy), they use very different weapons and their headpieces are pretty different, here's Zulvan for reference:

Really hoping to see more Legatus as time goes on

No arch, as you cant see one in his profile

Heh, he says they call the imperial soldiers 定刻兵 (scheduled soldiers) because they always show up in specific time intervals. It's pronounced the same as the correct term, 帝国兵 (imperial soldiers).

Says those screenshots were at Camp Horizon, so I'd just watch for the announcements in town and go looking for them. Then you can get properly localized dialogue.

I wanna their gear ; ;

He could just change his armour and his name for the weekend, or they could be relatives, or they could have nothing to do with each other than being high ranking garleans, too many unknowns!

Heres to hoping we are able to get armour pieces like those guys in the future, such badassery..

That doesn't mean much, since the shots were taken yesterday. I did an imperial assault and it took 2 days for the achievement to appear on the Lodestone lol (usually Lodestone updates every hour, but sometimes it's glitchy)

Thanks for checking though!

I've camped them for a long time since they've been first reported on BlueGartr forum some days ago, the imperial soldiers attacked many times, and I haven't seen them.
Since Darnus is said to have participated in the invasion of Dzemel Darkhold, I think he can only appear to players who have accomplished something in the Darkhold ("Into the dark" quest, or defeat Batraal)... or I've just very bad luck =|

(they're looking for Urianger Augurelt, btw)

He totally is an homage to both judges from ivalice and Grahf from Xenogears. (xenogears is my favorite rpg btw)

I highly doubt we'll be getting armour like theirs (unless we all defect to the empire lol), but I'm all for getting gear that has as much effort, detail, and style put into it as the Garlean gear! ^_^

Oooh that's interesting, would be nice to get a full translation of what that guy's saying at some point.

I think it would make sense if we had at least a few Garlean pieces of armor. I mean, we are killing them after all, loot their dead bodies and steal their stuff! :P Even if its rare armor, it would be cool to see.

We need gun variant weapons! SE's just trolling us hard if they don't give them to us D:

His armor is overdesigned. I hope player armor isn't like that.

He reminds me of kam'lanaut (and Korean MMO's- ugh).

So yeah, Babelfish translator doesn't help lol :

There seems to be a bolded comment about a gardening teacher with a hatchet? Please can someone give a decent translation for this? :)

The armour reminds me a little bit of the Archadian Empire Judges from FFXII - Ghis etc.

The LS chat "on time soldiers - official information," said the conversation I had, went to see a new horizon in all the NPC
Here the SS





♪ Haipozu



The following is a mistaken bombing of the senior soldier on time with the GM Say Mark

Legatus Darnus: around the time before twelve, that'll save the Eoruzea over.
Legatus Darnus: It's The Gathering, and hope of the world, I hope that they.
Legatus Darnus: each fold with the singing of Eoruzea 貶Me a mystery called the Magi.
Legatus Darnus: It's down at the bottom sure he twisted its neck.
Legatus Darnus: 召Shi出Shita down a little more than those who become wise man, so do not take the reward of debauch.
Legatus Darnus: the guy screams its welcome, and superb fanfare.
Tribunus Atilus: 長殿 Corps, please hurry.
Legatus Darnus: Kamawanu!
Legatus Darnus: The Gathering It's us!
Legatus Darnus: Thanks to good fortune happened to this place, I will vibrate in joy!
Legatus Darnus: Prelude to Disaster in 701!
Legatus Darnus: It'll be very existence of the Philosopher Urienje!
Legatus Darnus: they face more important to their patriotism and Kudaranu and surprised to take ideas and principles, Abandon Instant!
Legatus Darnus: those who combined their forces, he 響Kaseru united front for more than a symphony!
Tribunus Atilus: 長殿 corps, us here to let us.
Legatus Darnus: Urienje cornering, Itaburi may be down a little more than call out!
Legatus Darnus: Korezo, they are more eager to seek it, none other than means to save the land.
Tribunus Atilus: Barbarian's Eoruzea to us, but 長殿 Corps, which put the word puzzle us in person, dread.
Tribunus Luscus: us who, Urienje 捕Raeyo a wise man! What wise man, ringleader of the crisis?
Tribunus Luscus: 召Shi出Shita in our military who are, you take the prize!

Empire army was equipped with a hatchet in his garden.
Always take the next time it went out to take detracts SS.
Gardening is his ... that is harvested in one day dressed in silver armor (° ∀ °)

Teleport and just disappears in a while, raid is always fun ahead if there is any event did not happen!

There are no typos in the imperial army, who was named a member of the LS.

who knows maybe the garleans arnt the evil invading army that we all think they are.......................... least that would make for a much more twisted and enjoyable storyline apart from what we know now which is very cliche at the moment but still well done.


Maybe SE can add some Gun fists Gun sticks Gun whips Gun daggers Gun shields and Gun guns to the game next.... Im just joking lol least they would look awesome. BTW Gun swords etc.... existed in anime/manga long before FF series introduced them so they arnt a FF trademark; yet FF has done a good job portraying them better than most other outlets.

Now that I'm awake I guess I'll do this quick and dirty. It's going to sound like crap compared to the actual in-game dialogue that's surely already written though.

There was a conversation about the scheduled soldiers' leadership so we all went down to Horizon to see some new NPCs.
　
Here are some screenshots.


Pose!♪


The following is the say bombardment attached to the scheduled soldier leaders with GM marks.

Legatus Darnus : Before the cycle of the Twelve, let us lead Eorzea to salvation.
Legatus Darnus : Hear me, those gathered here; my wishes are their wishes.
Legatus Darnus : The chirpings of the one who calls himself sage scorn Eorzea.
Legatus Darnus : [I'm not sure what he's saying here, either he's saying that the sage (Urianger) is a twisted person, or he's describing removing his head. I think it's the former but I really can't understand Darnus's speech very well.]
Legatus Darnus : A decadent feast* awaits one who would bring the sagacious one before me.
Legatus Darnus : His screams will be the finest fanfare.
Tribunus Atilus : Commander, please hurry.
Legatus Darnus : Be not concerned!
Legatus Darnus : Those gathered here!
Legatus Darnus : Give thanks to your good fortune at having been here, and joyfully quake before me! [I'm 70% sure I got this completely wrong.]
Legatus Darnus : The Seventh Umbral Era!
Legatus Darnus : It is the very existence of the sage Urianger!
Legatus Darnus : Toss aside your foolish feelings of patriotism and worthless principles!
Legatus Darnus : Join forces with us, and make resound a symphony of united forces for me!
Tribunus Atilus : Commander, leave it to us from here.
Legatus Darnus : Corner Urianger, torment him, and bring him before me!
Legatus Darnus : There is no way to save this land but your longing, searching, seeking.
Tribunus Atilus : The commander speaking to the savages so directly is awe-inspiring.
Tribunus Luscus : Capture Urianger! He is surely the source of the crisis!
Tribunus Luscus : A reward goes to the one to bring him to our army!

After a while they teleported out, and the usual battle didn't take place.
Looking forward to what kind of events will follow this one!

"Scheduled soldiers" isn't a typo, it's what our LS members have named them.
They always come at the same time so...scheduled soldiers. lol**

*Old word that literally means "a lake of sake, a forest of meat." Calls to mind extreme decadence.

**Noted in my post above, the phrases are pronounced (and therefore typed) the same.

Seriously, this is going to sound so terrible the second someone witnesses the official non-sucky dialogue in the English version of the game.

Much appreciated. This is actually one of the best translations of JP text I've read on these forums from a player.

On a side-note, apparently we, the citizens of Eorzea, are savages?

I'm really curious how the story will play out now because there are always two sides to a conflict. Compared to the Garlean forces, we really do appear as savages with swords, bows and arrows...



...and magic.

I think the most interesting thing about these events is that there aren't just two apparent sides. Sure, Garlemald is definitely the main antagonist here, but it's interesting that they try to appeal to the citizens of Eorzea to get what they want. They could easily crush everyone but instead they ask people to join them, as seen here and during one of the story quests where they are distributing propaganda linkpearls. Beyond their tricks though, are the mysteries of the primals and Urianger.

Either could be good or bad at this point. The sylphs think the primals' influence is corrupting, though they still worship them as gods, while the Empire seeks to control them and basically just thinks of them as really big elementals. As for Urianger, it's been said multiple times that some people think of him as an "archon" of the Twelve, but Garlemald and others think he's directly responsible for bringing calamity and he does summon a drake/raptor on you. The ascians are yet another faction that want nothing to do with anyone else, nor anyone else with them.

Although due to some events in the Lominsan storyline it's possible at any time that a story NPC could be an ascian in disguise, or an agent of them.

It's nice that, at least so early in the story, we don't yet know for sure who's to be trusted and who isn't. And even if that is mostly clear, at the very least their relationships to each other are more complex than just one set of good guys on our side and one set of bad guys on the Garlean side.

For whoever asked a while back: Gardening Teacher is what online translators come up with when the JPN term for Botanist is put in. "Gardening teacher with a hatchet" = A botanist.

Anyone have any idea how often these guys show up? I was camping afk there earlier today but no luck in a handful of hours.
