There are so many bosses in this game where I'm like "Where's his ass again?"

True but longitude is measure horizontally while latitude is measure vertically, that's how I remembered it in 7th grade so it gets a bit confusing.
But if it's meant to be like the lines across the globe then I guess its alright.

It is likely messed up, the reason the lines of longitude are vertical is to MEASURE east/west, so in communicating it is supposed to mean east/west. Did anyone note this while looking at the in game compass?

[Hyperia]

Honestly, I wouldn't mind it so much if his front and back ends didn't look so similar.

This... this sooo much!

Also while on the topic of localisation goofs, can we talk about how Chaos's longitudinal and latitudinal attacks are swappeed?

Longitude should be sideways and latitude should be upwards and downwards. Not a big deal in NM with the AoE markers but in Savage it sucks having to process that they're swapped.

Those aren't swapped. Lines of longitude are vertical lines on the planet. Lines of latitude are horizontal lines on the planet.

I can see that it can be ambiguous, but it makes more sense as they've arranged it in the game.

Lateral basically means "to the side". It's not even an obscure word like 'larboard'. (See: 'lateral thinking', approaching the problem indirectly; also the many phrases listed on Wikipedia's disambiguation page)

You're overthinking it.

[Arrius]

I knew I saw it already before, apart from the Ixal quests.

There's all kinds of archaic words used in FFXIV. It's a stylistic choice.

EX: eikon instead of icon
