Two Paragraphs of Lore explaining the introduction of Artifact Armours.

Of particular popularity are such curios as realistic replicas of relics along with ancient artifacts dating back to the Allagan Empire

[...]certain techniques and traditions would fall out of favor. I speak of those age-old arts that demand drastic degrees of dedication, and whose acquisition requires that the practitioner prevail over perils in plenitude. Of late, rumors are rampant regarding the resurgence of such arts

Only replicas? Are they genuine imitation? Side note: I have to say I really enjoy all the little runs of alliteration in these snippets. Thumbs up to the Localisation team.


Did anyone else shout out to their friends "LODESTONE UPDATE" only for them to get dissapointed at it not being a letter?

Oh and today I learnt:
Axes (/ˈæksiːz/), the plural of axis, is pronounced differently from axes (/ˈæksɨz/), the plural of ax(e).

Saw it.
Read it.
Flipped a table so hard it entered orbit around the sun.

Told LS mates.
They flipped tables in a similar fashion.

SE: You're breaking my heart.

Ah, thats what went by my telescope. Was wondering about that.

It's so good to laugh again.

[Mug]

I wouldn't flip tables just yet. SE very rarely post updates this early in the day. Mayhaps they have something more in store for us in a few hours when they normally post updates.

[Avraym]

Yes. Given that Yoshida told us that the letter was finished and should of reached the translators yesterday morning, it seems dissapointing its taken 1.5 days to translate a letter which is now overdue.

But hey, more lore right?

Translate the previous large letters from English to Japanese, including any videos, lets see how long it takes you.

Sure. Just give me months worth of notice and a whole team at my disposal. Oh, and don't forget to pay me, but when you do, don't expect a timely translation.

Also, what video had to be posted in english translation other than a live letter? (Which they have days after to work on)

I was wondering when one of you white knights would spring to defense. 2nd page though, later than expected.

I'm genuinely curious as to how fast you can translate, since you seem to know how long something "should take", meaning you do it yourself.

If its something i'm trained and specialised to do, it certainly won't take more than a whole day.

And if it does, i'm smart enough to work collaboratively to get the job done in time.

And if i'm not smart enough to utilize my time, i'll notify people of the delay.

You have seen the size of the staff right? To assume theres just one person capable of speaking english and japanese would be sheer ignorance.

This is a blatant case of poor time management coupled with weak communication.

But it's hardly a shock for any of us who have been playing for more than a month.
