    Abania Gyr vs. Gyr Abania

    Hello again, voidsent fellas.

    During the Monk quests I learned GREAT lore and history informations from Professor Erik (I can already imagine going to Sil'dih and battle hordes of zombies...), and in a couple of occasions the region of Abania Gyr was also mentioned.

    However, I've always known it as Gyr Abania, as also written in the (always beautiful to look at) map of Eorzea:



    Is it just a typo or is there a reason behind this? Not that I'm trying to trick you into giving more informations on the region with Ala Mhigo, eh...
    *awaits for the Lore Section*


    P.S.:
    In the characters' dialogues I also found other small typos. Let's see if I can find them again from my screenshots...

    1. In the second Job Quest, when Erik talks about the Dauntless, he says: “a truly fearsome vessel outfitted with eight formidable canons”. I guess he meant cannons?

    2. On the third Job Quest, when speaking to Widargelt in Little Ala Mhigo (before he directs you to slay the Prince of Pestilence), I found his dialogues a little messy, particularly this line: “You make for the Mun-Tuy Cellars. Erik believes the aether [is?] strong there?”

    ...This is all I could find for now.

    Pure derp. Sorry about that. I've gone in and fixed both instances of the name being reversed.

    Nope, the ship actually keeps to eight distinct dogmatic traditions.

    [[pauses for laughter]]

    Fixed!

    I see where you're coming from on this one. The problem is being caused by the slightly archaic use of "strong," which, despite its formality and elegance, kind of runs counter to Widargelt's characterization of short and simple sentences. So, to avoid any further possible confusion or hiccups in reading, I've gone ahead and thrown in the is.

    The above changes will go live in the next patch. Thanks for all the finds, Oni!
