when did the gender of schs fairy change

I had believed that schs fairy was female, as that is what gender I recall the sch job quests using for her and the model for selene and eos is extremely feminine. when I looked in my battle log recently I had say that male pronouns where being used to refer to eos and selene. I had though that this was a bug and reported it but my bug report was moved to the not a bug section so lily must be a male.

Can any one show me the patch that this changed during and post the updated quest dialogue? or was I not paying attention to the latter job quests and lilys gender changed during them?

SCH quest wise they're female. It's a bug but it's probably considered an asinine one.

The forum bug reports are lame. They’ll move it to not a bug report just because you didn’t give them some irrelevant piece of information (the template they want you to fill out is ridiculous)

Try the in-game bug reporter. Maybe it goes to the same people, but maybe there’s a chance someone reasonable will get it. Just go to the system menu and look in the Support Desk

I would assume that they would move my bug report to not enough information if there was any issues with my bug report, the only reasonable reason they would move it to not a bug would be because lily is a male fairy, I'm just trying to find out where lily's sex changes as I must of not read all the job quest tests and I would rather not have to level another sch to 70 to see when that happens.

It's not a bug. It's a localization issue. Because, y'know, the game uses multiple different languages. And sometimes localizing something can get a translation wrong.

I'm torn between replying either,

Localization errors are often referred to as "text bugs" colloquially.

or

Stop calling my faerie a bug.

Please accept either or both.

I mean faeries are basically sentient rocks I highly doubt they care much about pronouns.

Random question. What does it say when you target anyone else? Does it show gender specific pronouns for players? Honestly curious.

Your report got moved to not a bug because it's not a bug. It's a localisation error. Such a thing would go under the Localization forum in the Feedback section of the forums.

They "live" in them, yeah. Nymian scholars would use arcanima and elemental energy to bring these beings into existence and then bind their essences to the soulstones. When we summon them, we draw that essence out and give it form. This is how they accumulate experience and "remember", thus eventually forming their own personalities.

I meant that as a joke about them being the Crystal Gems from Steven Universe ("sentient rocks" whose physical bodies are made of light and technically have no gender) lol

Ok so this was bugging me. Since someone posted on reddit claiming Lilly was in fact male. So I did some delving. Lilly is in fact female as previously thought due to two pieces of evidence.

In this image it can be seen that she has a female model

And in this image we can see the quest dialogue stating "Your faerie detects the voidsent's aetherial traces- the remains of its prey. She directs you next towards Zelma's Run in upper La Noscea.

I appologize for being a little overzealous on this but the possibility of getting such a huge lore point wrong for so long was really bugging me.

It might not be a bug or a localization error. The issue might stem from one of the few limitations the English laguage has, gender neutrality. In other languages when talking about a collective of unknown gender, male pronouns are often used, but in those instances its understood that you are talking about someone of an undetermined gender, since there are so many words. English however, mostly just has male or female. There is the neutral pronoun they, bit not everyone uses it, and some text still uses he to refer to a mixed set.

I can't say for certain without seeing the text in question, but this might be the answer you're looking for.

There is a similar issue with the RDM minion text. I know it uses female pronouns which is fine, but they change the perspective midway through. I'll see if I can find and like it.
