Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVII! (Localization Koji Fox)

[Matthew0320]

Simple QoL request. Don't close the PF settings when someone leaves the party. It's a huge inconvenience.

What was Sharlayan day to day life like?

Greetings, everyone!

Thanks for the large amount of questions we've received so far. I'm sure Koji is looking forward to them and is probably already thinking about answers to some of these!

As a reminder, this thread is only for questions related to the game localization (lore, quest-related text, naming of NPC/gear/monsters, etc.) and Koji himself! We won't be picking up questions from here that aren't related to the topic. I appreciate your cooperation!

Also, there was a brief thought expressed by Louisoix in one of the Calamity short stories that if the Twelve were to manifest in Eorzea they would drain the land of its aether. Does that mean they are no different than the primals? Why would Eorzeans worship beings with the exact same disposition as the beast tribe gods they abhor so much?

[ExKage]

Thordan and Shiva, even King Mog seem to be different primals than Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Leviathan and Ramuh. Thordan and Shiva seem be controlled by Thordan and Iceheart. Primals such as Ifrit and Ravana seem to be sentient or sapient towards those whose desires and beliefs brought them to fruition. What contributes to these differences?

People really need to read the front dev page. Stop cluttering this thread with non lore related questions.

Can we get a clear statement regarding the ancestry of the Au Ra race? A large part of the community are still confused whether or not they are dragons and when some are told that they aren't, the response is "the developers said they are", or "they said they were dragon-based but had to change the idea". If we can get a clear statement on what exactly the Dawn Father/Dusk Mother is, or just a statement clearing outlining whether or not auri are dragons, it would help cull a bit of the toxicity regarding this subject. Please and thank you!

With Heavensward, we've learned there's lot more to the 'primals' than before. Are the Twelve any different from the Beast Tribe gods or are they closer to what the Ascians have been teaching people for so long?

[FJerome]

What criteria is there to get a seat on the Syndicate besides being obscenely, disgustingly rich? Do you have to be a citizen of Ul'Dah? How do you qualify as a citizen?

Just asking for a wealthy Omnicrafter friend who happens to look a lot like me >.>

In the Aetherochemical Research facility there is some thing that appeared to be alove until we confront Lahabrea, petrified during the boss fight and gone by the Time Thordian is faced. I was wondering what that thing is specifically
