Hide player titles if you don't want to get spoiled by the 3.5 p1 story

It's the second time the EN localization has spoiled the story with titles...

How to hide:

For a story focused game these things are being handled very poorly, the first time this happened was with the title for clearing The Aery and they didn't even apologize for that.

As usual, their references and puns take precedence over all other concerns.

Bumping this back to the front page. SEA, what the hell were you thinking?

Apparently they were not thinking...

This really ruined it for me. Change the title SE!

Wow this is kinda disgusting. I was lucky enough not to see it til right after I finished. But by the time I had they might as well of had billboards all over Mor Dhona announcing the ending XD

Now I wanna know what the title is/how it's so spoilery. o.o Must do MSQ. D:

But Zurvan EX birb. :'<

Same. I have no idea what they're talking about. Lol

I just finished and it is VERY spoilery. I will not be donning this title for at least a couple of weeks. SE wtf were you thinking??

Yah it's a super spoiler, especially if you've done Coils. Even if you haven't you can still guess what happens. I saw it and wanted to head-desk. I won't be donning it for a LONG time.

Agreed. Bad form. A lot of people don't like spoilers, but there it is, the crux of the whole 3.5 story... right out in the open.

I successfully avoided it up until I ran the dungeon and one of the people had the title on. -_-

Whats worse is that according to reddit the french/jp/german verdions of the title is "the finest pupil" or smth like that. Did the team forget to localize the title or did someone have a bad day?

I finished the story and then checked the title in English and WOW thats a major spoiler right there.
German translation is much better, its something like "Master Pupil"/"master scholar". Thats 0 spoiler.

That was really a weird translation for the english text.

Thank god i had titles disabled for a long time so i didn't get affect by this.

Ali really was a lifesaver this time.

Greetings,

I'd like to share a comment from Koji Fox regarding this issue.

While the title was meant to be a reflection of the Warrior of Light’s role in the story, there is no excuse for my inability to realize that the particular choice of words would affect those players who had yet to complete the quest. As a result, my lack of foresight has marred the gaming experience of countless fans.

The current plan is to hotfix a new title in as soon as possible, with full awareness that this cannot undo the damage that is already done. I have spoken with Yoshida-san on the issue and have promised to personally work to ensure similar missteps do not happen in the future. We greatly appreciate the efforts being made by players who have already completed the quest to help ensure those who have not from being affected, and humbly ask that that everyone continues to do so until the issue can be addressed.

I once again sincerely apologize for this inexcusable error in judgment.

As this is something we will be correcting, I will be locking this thread in the hopes that we can minimize the number of people that are impacted. As Koji mentioned, we would appreciate everyone's continued participation in helping ensure your fellow adventurers avoid this by not using the title in question.
