    Leatherworker's final tool name translates into something vulgar

    Just wanted to let the FF staff members know that the leatherworker's final tool, Pinga, has a very vulgar translation. In spanish, that is one of the most vulgar ways to refer to a man's "manhood".

    Personally, im not offended or anything by this. It actually cracks me up. But I figured that you, the staff, would appreciate being made aware of this

    Is the Pinga thick, long, black, and hanging to the right? Does it offer CP +13?

    I was wondering when people would start catching on to that...

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    Of course you did. But why do you think that little turn of phrase came about, hmm?
    I very much doubt people heard the word simply because it sounded funny... :P

    >.> Guilty for snickering when I got the item. Of course, this was not their intention when they named the weapon.

    Watch that. It is an inevitability that certain words might be spelled or sound similar to other words in other languages and those words might be vulgar.

    You can't worry about these things unless it's the Spanish localization. There are just too many languages in the world.

    There's also the car called the "Nova" after the death of a star (?) and the movie "Laputa, the castle in the sky".
