    Title for doing all the moogle letter quests

    "Postman"

    I knew that looked familiar so I checked my titles... there is an earlier one called "The Postman"

    Is there some sort of cleverness behind this that I won't understand until I actually do the quests, or is it really just as unimaginative as it looks? >_>

    Depends on how you want it to read (probably a bad translation). I should clarify that I have both titles in question and they are formatted like in the below example.

    For example with my character name I can pick:

    Postman Altrage A'uli

    or

    Altrage A'uli The Postman

    One is a title the other is just occupational (that is where the bad translating is probably coming from as we (English speakers) call the title a Postmaster (one who runs a post office) and the occupation is formally known as a Mail Carrier (one who delivers mail))

    I don't remember reading it as Postal, I always saw Postman; not to mention it wouldn't fit in with the quest to give you a title of that nature. Postman; as a title akin to something like Sir, Ma'dam, Mr., Mrs., Duke, etc--is more fitting based on the ending dialogue when you get your Postmoogle Cap and the title. HOWEVER, I feel that the translation is in error as it should be Postmaster (unless they are saving that one in particular for a later date/higher Carrier level)

    From the way I read the patchnotes, I thought the title itself was "Postal". Maybe that was the intent, but they changed it last second when they realized what that implies? I go postal all the time in duty finder, I was looking forward to actually giving myself the title right before an "accident".

    Yeah, but this is how it read in patch notes:

    The following achievements and titles have been added:
    Title ------------------Requirements
    Broken Bridges -------Defeat Vishap on the Steps of Faith.
    My Left Arm ----------Complete the quest "Before the Dawn."
    Postal------------------Complete the quest "The Little Postmoogle that Could."

    The first column is labelled "title" rather than "achievement". Not the first time english patch notes have had strange wording, but still. I suppose a title of "my left arm" would also be horribly weird.
