Letter from the Producer LIVE at the Tokyo Game Show (10/07/2013)

Q. How many players have cleared this so far?
A. It has yet to be cleared! The world-first clearing of Turn 4 was accomplished by a group of adventurers from the Order of the Blue Gartr free company.
*The Order of the Blue Gartr is a famous progression guild from FINAL FANTASY XI.

The correct spelling of the Free Company is Order of the Blue Garter, not Order of the Blue Gartr. Both are separate entities within the game and its community.

Order of the Blue Garter XIV was founded in October 2010 through the merging of two like-minded groups of players on Rabanastre, including original members of FFXI's OrderoftheBlueGartr from Bahamut and WoW's Order of the Blue Garter on Azshara, as well as fresh blood found along the way. We are not affiliated with bluegartr.com.

We would be most appreciative if this typo was corrected as soon as possible and for the localization team to be more thorough in the future with accurate name dropping.

Q. 現在、何人ぐらいクリアしていますか？
A. まだいません。
第4層までは、北米の「Order of the Blue Gartr」（オーダー・オブ・ブルーガーター）というギルドの1軍が世界最速で突破しています。今は日本でも第4層を突破したというパーティが4つか5つぐらいいると聞いています。
※2013年9月22日現在
※「Order of the Blue Gartr」はファイナルファンタジーXIの頃から有名な北米の攻略ギルドです。

Q. 第4層まで到達したパーティ数などの報告を聞いて、吉田Pの想定より多いでしょうか、少ないでしょうか？
A. 第3層を抜けるまで3週間掛かるという想定でしたが、2週間でBlue Gartrに突破されたので彼らは1週間早かったです。ただ、4層目に突入したパーティが一気に増えたのが3週目からなので、大体想定通りという感じです。

This is from a transcript on an old interview and is also incorrect. Thank you to Lilaea Syvara for bringing this to our attention.

Making your FC name identical but one letter off kind of begs this sort of situation, honestly.

It actually doesn't considering they correctly name dropped us in 1.0 official posts for world first achievements.

Just asking for a little more research to be done on SE's part when it comes to official comments on their website.
