Rothlyt Sound - where is it really?

[Anonymoose]

Feels weird dragging this out of the bin, but I just noticed it independently (tied to another issue).

The Ziz seem to be called Pelicans when found in La Noscea, as is the case of the Rothlyt Pelican, but it's nowhere near Rothlyt Sound and I suspect that this is an error back from when several things in Lominsa mistakenly said Rothlyt instead of Merlthor (as opposed to the Rothlyt Oyster, which are just biggest around Rothlyt but found everywhere). So, quite possibly, as was the case with the levequest, this should be a Merlthor Pelican (assuming there's not another named in Western La Noscea better suited)... but there's more.

Nearby the "Rothlyt" Pelicans is a FATE called Absolutely, Positively in which mobs identical to them show up... except they're called Axe Beaks for some reason. Perhaps copied and pasted form a Thanalan area without a name change to Rothlyt Pelican? Which might actually be meant to be Merlthor Pelican? lol

Mob names not matching mob skins or locations is a common issue, though. I find them still, on occasion. The trouble is that, in many cases, it's also wrong in the JP version, so it's technically not an English Localization issue. For instance, the Copperbell Nix doesn't have Nix skin, it has Gigantoad skin. Magitek model numbers used to match their armor, lack thereof, and coloring and now not so much. Lots of little things like that still hanging around in all 4 languages.
