    Blufever leak had no problems name dropping every Alphascape boss, Viera, 4.3 msq trial & character control, Gauis's return, Blue mage and an extra race's vague description but new race name no no that too far, These discord leaks again have no qalms saying msq spoilers with Crystal Tower saying Hydatos gear and saying gender lock is a thing but name of new race omg no that too far have a description instead of it.

    A race name is less spoilery than a race description reason being a name means nothing any real world names used from mythology mean nothing look at Shiva, Bahamut, Odin etc for liberties SE takes when they take such names, so why is this name for this mystery race so taboo it makes me question them more when they are inconsistent.
    I understand you find it weird but their consistency (first person) is so high that I personally wouldn't bother with "that sounds weird". There is no way they could have just guessed at what they've got right.

    Now I know you're including the discord bits into "leaks" but I do not consider them hard cannon. It's still possible they've made some guesses and reiterations (also possible they're real, but I'm not sold either way yet). The first guy however is just real at this point, imo at least lol.

    So I guess I just leave you with a shrug and say that at least with the first guy I find anything suggested very tangible if not slightly off from what is real just due to misspeaking.

    True nobody has to be consistent ever but when your trying to leak information being consistent helps (not as much as being right obviously) but when there is an image of what something looks like to give a description to describe to people there is at least a placeholder name, why this name was taboo to say we probably never know with regards to Blufever but the fact that whenever a new 'leak' shows up this name is staying taboo is just odd.

    These Discord 'leaks' are currently in Limbo they got the Hydatos items correct but they could've been good guesses its hard to classify them until fan fest where we get further confirmation of things they have said so i don't dismiss them but i don't accept them either.

    The way BluFever stopped was odd we will likely never know why they stopped because i doubt the reason they gave is the true one but i fully accept it as a major leak there is no way that all the information they gave was just guesses, most of what i was saying is directed at the discord 'leaks', i guess i am just bothered by the fact they can give description spoilers but names being taboo baffles me
