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

This question is about how the Au Ra fit into Eorzea!

How are the Auri peoples received by the people of Eorzea? We know that there's debate as to whether they might be from lineage of dragons, or from voidsent. But are these considered dark rumours, or are they the general opinion of the public until proven otherwise? Are any of the three main city states - Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and Gridania - any more or less accepting of the Au Ra? Do their attitudes differ based on whether the Au Ra in question is Xaela or Raen? Did the Au Ra arrive all at once in Eorzea as part of a major migration event, or did individuals generally make their own way in their own time by their own means?

There are a few conflicting examples for how long the Au Ra have been in Eorzea and how accepted they are by the races and city-states - especially Ishgard. Yugiri seems very hesitant to reveal her appearance yet Sidurgu has been in Coerthas for several years. Can you elaborate on how long they have actually been around and if the population is currently adjusted to them?

Any chance of revisiting the spell naming convention? I love the traditional Fire > Fira > Firaga convention. It feels much more in line with the world of Eorzea, not to mention Final Fantasy itself. In fact, coming form previous FF games, the current spells names confused me at first. Fire I-IV sounds so boring, and offers little opportunity for creativity. Besides, most spells aren't really "continuous", if that makes sense. Each one stands on it's own for the most part.

So much this, please!

This question is about the horns, and hearing abilities, of the Au Ra!

I read somewhere that Au Ra horns are hearing apparatus, since they appear to replace their ears - is this true? Since the structures are to sense vibrations in the air, would this make them sensitive, or even painful, if touched? Would a horn being struck stun or disorientate an Auri individual, or do they have failsafes against overstimulation of this kind? If they aren't born with fully-developed horns, would this mean that Auri babies are without the ability to hear until their horns grow in? Would some horn shapes be better for hearing than others - e.g. broader, more diagonal horns would be better than thin, horizontal ones? Some of the hairstyles available have smaller horns on the top of the head - would these also contribute to hearing, or would they be closer to traditional horns? Are there any associations or superstitions among the Auri peoples as to what these "extra" horns mean?

In those dark days, the elementals would not suffer man's presence in the Twelveswood, forcing our forebears to make their homes beneath the earth, in the great subterranean city of Gelmorra.

Where is Gelmorra?

Where is Gelmorra?

There's an entrance to it in South Shroud. You can't really go in, unfortunately.

Are all of the Heaven's Ward knights from the four high houses? Could you name which knights are from which houses?
