[SPOILERS] Warrior of Light's True Name

[Lieha]

He makes that difference in german too. Its also interesting that he does not in any way calls us a friend in the german version (even though his comments about the 14th does hint that he at least knew them in some way). In German he says something like "Dont let me stop you my child", which is probably more to show the elder talking to a younger one bit.

He can also not really see Ardbert in that situation, just notices the color too.

Same thing in french. He makes the difference depending of the gender of your character. He also call us 'his not so new friend'.

Another thing interesting is that he says he wouldn't be surprised if Emet-Selch realised we inherited the soul of their Ancient friend considering 'the affection' he had for her.
