    Growth Formula Zeta ... sometimes Theta

    I noticed a discrepancy in the translation for the item name for the Growth Formula Zeta between the different localizations:

    EN: Growth Formula Zeta
    http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/2c378643cf0/

    FR: Formule de croissance thêta
    http://fr.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/2c378643cf0/

    DE: Wachstumsformel Theta
    http://de.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/2c378643cf0/

    JP: グロースフォーミュラ・ゼータ
    http://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/2c378643cf0/

    A quick search on the forums turned up the following japanese post which appears to be about the same topic:
    http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...3653?p=3460873

    Considering the Growth Formulas already in game prior to this one range from Alpha to Epsilon, the next in line would naturally be Zeta and not Theta (which would come two steps later):
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet

    While the English version appears to be correct, perhaps you should check with the other localization leads to make sure you're in agreement. Considering Theta is coming so shortly after Zeta in the Greek alphabet, it may cause problems down the line when new items are added and you actually get to that letter...

    This was indeed a mistake, which the other teams have since addressed for 3.2. Please let us know if you notice any other similar inconsistences!
