Are the names for Elder Staff and Omnirod mixed up?

[XanderOlivieri]

Coldguy was direction their comment at the Lore team not us lol He's showing the team how easy it is to tell the names are wrong. Elder Staff even makes more sense with the LOOK of the staff (old woman/man face).

And the Lore of FFXIV doesn't have much to do with the Lore of other Final Fantasy universes. While it may have been one way in a game before, that doesn't mean it has to be that way in another game. By the standards and lore set for FFXIV, the mod is saying that the team says the names are properly associated. The issue with the name is purely a fan issue that doesn't need to be addressed as far as they are concerned.

Error or no error, you must switch them.

QTF!

Seeing as yoshi said this is a fanservice game... yes they do.

The Japanese database has the names in the same order, so we can rule out a localization error. This goes much deeper D:

It's probably a mistake on the Japanese database side then. Clearly the items were supposed to be the other way around and someone messed up.

Greetings!

We checked on this with both the Item and Lore teams and they assured us that there is no error with those names and that those are the correctly assigned names.

They're wrong lol. Can't you argue with them instead of just taking what they say at face value?

1st time this happened in history

always wen ppl ask for something then a dev response they say thank you

but now a dev responded and ppl still argue

LOL

Adloquium fits the SCH lore wayyyyyyy better than Sacred Soil, Lustrate, and Succor. Scholars are battlefield tacticians, not priests.

If i recall correctly SCH's where active healers(like magical doctors i suppose) when they where not fighting wars. you actually have to go around healing NPCs for one of the quests.

Clearly the Enix part of Square made the tile error.

You know, I really do need to call into question the people who are in charge of naming things on the English version. The other posters here are making an excellent point about these weapons. But there is so many more examples of weirdness in the english names.

- Titan's Granit "Gaols" should really have been named "Jails".

- Players should not be given an ability named "Internal Release".

- "Adloquium". Let's just name a highly used healing ability, something that 99% of players can neither pronounce, nor spell. How about changing it to "Galvanize"?

Or people could not have the mindset of a 4 year old. The names they used are perfectly fine. Sorry they didn't call the nations grassland, hot town and the beach. I suppose you'd want Paladins named metal sword guys and Internal release to be called get stronger
