    LL, Astalicia, "Call of Booty" -- Text -- Hasthwab's Incorrect Place Reference "'ell"

    When the player is aboard the Astalicia in Limsa Lominsa and speaks to Hasthwab about the "Call of Booty" sidequest, the following text appears in part:

    "
    Others reckon it
    'aunted—crawlin' wi' wights an'
    corposants an' whatnot. There's
    even them as say it be the first
    gate of 'ell itself! Heh heh!
    "

    This is incorrect because there are seven hells in Eorzea's mythology. As such, Hasthwab should not refer to a singular hell.

    Please fix this issue by making it clearer that Hasthwab is referring to the gate of one of the seven hells. This could be accomplished by replacing "'ell itself" with "the 'ells 'emselves".

    The corrected text might read as follows:

    "
    Others reckon it
    'aunted—crawlin' wi' wights an'
    corposants an' whatnot. There's
    even them as say it be the first
    gate of the 'ells 'emselves! Heh heh!
    "

    Another fine catch!

    The text has been fixed and will see its way into the game sometime soon after 1.19a has been released.

    FUN FACT: It is believed by some that the first six hells are each aspected to one of the six elements, and that the seventh hell, where the lord of the underworld resides, represents eternal oblivion.

    The seven hells

    Why, you...!

    This must be the infamous Voidsent Giga Taunt the legends speak of... The seven hells and the void are probably the two matters I crave to know more about in Eorzea. And who knows, maybe one day we'll be able to visit them. Of course, in the void I expect a secret room with the Localization Team inside, like in some old RPGs (dev room). ...This made me remember an idea I had some time ago. I'll soon open a new request topic in General Discussion.
    Thanks for the tidbits! The seventh hell might be a “deaspected hell”, then...

    Anyway, or should I say Any hells, like F'ongho would... I interpreted that line's true meaning that Shposhae is considered to be the gate to the first of the seven hells, so if you confirmed the correction, Ferne, I guess I got it right.
    Heh, I wonder if one day we'll know where the other “gates” are considered to be located at...

    And if the first six hells are elementally aligned, does that mean we go ice>water>wind>lightning>fire>earth like with the cycle depicted in the "five ages" (which may indeed be meant to be six...), or would they be aligned with the elements of the umbral and astral eras, of which the 6th is meant to be water?

    I'm also inclined to look into modern literature about our own mythological levels of hell...
    *goes to look at stuff on Dante's Inferno*
