Huh? (o_O?) Are the hints in these quest randomized?

When i got the Valentione quests, the hints i got were:

• “Central Shroud” for the Gridanian quest
• “tidegate” for the Limsa Lominsan quest
• “kings” for the Ul’dahn quest

I started scouring the Central Shroud for the NPC, but after searching the entire east side of the map i stopped searching in that area. At that time i was looking for a roaming NPC and the quest explicitly mentioned that the NPC would not display a quest icon. Since i knew that the Tidegate was quite a bit smaller than the Central Shroud, i figured i should go there instead.

After circling through both the North and South section of the Tidegate, talking to every NPC i bumped into. No dice… (T_T ) So, i figured that i should check the towns instead… After looking NPC i haven’t seen before in the smaller (key) locations, i managed to find all 3 of them soon afterwards.

Yep.
I got "Sunway" for Ul'dah, "salt" for Limsa, and "chocobo" for Gridania.

The resulting people were found in:

Ul'dah: Black Brush Station (boyfriend got king, found the person in Horizon - when I tried to talk to him, he got mad and said the letter "wasn't my <mushy name>'s handwriting and the scent was atrocious" and that I had the wrong guy.)
Limsa: Around the docks in Moraby Bay (boyfriend got construction, but it was the same person for both of us)
Gridania: Bentbranch, sitting on a stump by the aetheryte (we had the same hint)
