    GC Quest, "Know Your Enemy" -- Text -- Charledore's Missing Serial Comma

    When the player is to the southwest of Camp Horizon in Ul'dah and is progressing through the "Know Your Enemy" GC quest, the following text will appear from Charledore in a cut scene:

    "
    Charledore: For years, he enjoyed
    His Radiance's favor, being given
    all he ever asked, until one day
    he tired of his duties, turned his
    cloak and forsook us for this
    doomed realm. All for his own
    ends, lest you doubt it. That
    monster never gave a damn
    about anything else!
    "

    This is incorrect because a serial comma is missing after "cloak" on the fifth line of text.

    Please fix this issue by adding a comma after "cloak".

    The corrected text would read as follows:

    "
    Charledore: For years, he enjoyed
    His Radiance's favor, being given
    all he ever asked, until one day
    he tired of his duties, turned his
    cloak, and forsook us for this
    doomed realm. All for his own
    ends, lest you doubt it. That
    monster never gave a damn
    about anything else!
    "

    It probably goes with saying, but I wouldn't be half so likely to keep writing these up if I didn't you two were on these boards and paying attention to them. I have a healthy love for this game, as sick as that may be, and I want this text to look at spiffy as you do, I'm sure.

    So, as usual, thank you for looking at these and considering them as you do.

    Localization, GC Quest "Know Your Enemy" Thread -- Text -- Mermentia's Missing Verb

    When the reader is in this thread, the following text appears in Mermentia's last post:

    "
    Mermentia: I wouldn't be half so likely to
    keep writing these up if I didn't you two
    were on these boards and paying attention to them.
    "

    This is incorrect because a verb is missing from the well-deserved praise of the LOC team.

    Please fix this issue by adding the word know after "didn't".

    The corrected text would read as follows:

    "
    Mermentia: I wouldn't be half so likely to
    keep writing these up if I didn't know you
    two were on these boards and paying
    attention to them.
    "

    ----------------------------

    I'm 99.9% just kidding; but I wanted to know how long it took to type out one of these formal inquiries. Do you have some kind of automatic generator, or does your brain release a flood of satisfying dopamine every time you perceive correct grammar and formal organization? I think mine does...

    The longest part of it is always the writing out of the quote. And that's remedied when I actually just stop everything I'm doing and copy-paste directly from the game. But really, not that long. I've had a lot of practice.

    Comma added. Will go live in a future patch. Thanks, Merm!
