    Limsa Lominsa, Maelstrom Command -- Text -- Guincum's Subject/Verb Disagreement

    When the player is in Maelstrom Command in Limsa Lominsa and is progressing through the "Engineering Victory" questline, the following text appears from Guincum after completing most of the mission:

    "
    Guincum: I was wondering when you
    would arrive, recruit. The Garlond
    Ironworks have already sent a report
    on their findings and the Admiral is
    busy using that information to
    orchestrate the thalassocracy's next
    move.
    "

    This is incorrect because the verb "have" on the third line disagrees with its singular subject, "Garlond Ironworks".

    Please fix this issue by replacing "have" on the third line with "has".

    The corrected text would read as follows:

    "
    Guincum: I was wondering when you
    would arrive, recruit. The Garlond
    Ironworks has already sent a report
    on their findings and the Admiral is
    busy using that information to
    orchestrate the thalassocracy's next
    move.
    "

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Start the game.
    2) Progress through the "Engineering Victory" questline until having completed most of the mission.
    3) Speak to Guincum and observe the text that appears.

    For some extra (and perhaps unnecessary) ammo, the following also appears in the Journal:

    "
    ...you learn that the Garlond Ironworks has been sending engineers...
    "

    Ahhh, group nouns. Love 'em! Either case can be argued for, but as you pointed out, we've been a little inconsistent. Certainly a bug, but we are going to go with "have" over "has" for most instances of this in-game. I've amended the sentence you cited in your second post. The change will be reflected in the next patch. Thanks!

    *braces self for impact as Merm goes back through game text looking for instances of the inverse*
