Bugged chat display for MRD level 36 quest

[Kikosho]

I recently attained MRD level 36 and proceeded to click on the glowing NPC Linkpearl for the Astalicia. The name of the NPC simply displays as "[en]".

The following is the ingame text.

[en]: Ahoy, first mate! Gots me another job fer ye, I 'as! Meet us at th' Astalicia.

Greetings, Kikosho!
Thank you for providing the information that Bublex requested. Since this matter involves the display of an NPC's name, I have made sure to move this matter from "In-Game Bugs" to "Localization." Thanks again for your report!

The NPC who should be speaking is Rostnsthal, not Waekbyrt. Notice that he calls the player "first mate," and Waekbyrt wouldn't do that.

This bug has been here for a long time. I wonder what's up with it. It must be some programming thing not easily handled by the loc team.

Thanks for the report!
It turns out that this was not a LOC issue, but a mistake in the code (the wrong data cell was being called up for the EN version only). The programmer has identified the problem and fixed it locally. The fix should be implemented by patch 1.20.


I'd also like to give a silent shout out to Lienn for reporting a similar issue long, LONG ago (here). We finally got it!
