You guys Kenichi Iwao did not write the story or lore, that is Yaeko Sato, Scenario. In Iwao's own words: "I make the drafts for the characters, equipment, areas and setting and come up with names. I am in charge of items, guildleves, and other things and their circulation in the game, along with crafting and shops and a lot of other things… quite a wider range than in FFXI."

That's good to hear, because even though inconsistency in item art can make the world feel disconnected it's not as important as lore and setting consistency. IMO anyways.

I feel sorry for Sato though. Having to make up lore that didn't originally belong in the game must be a hard task.

Sato is the original Scenario writer, so I'm sure he's writing lore from the bottom of his heart! He never got replaced.
