Clearing up some lore misconceptions

[LemonJuice]

I'd love to see something like this catch on just so I never have to see "Y'shtola is immortal" or "Nael van Darnus was a localization error." again.

I feel that those would be much more difficult to tackle, given that they originate in 1.0's lore.
Also, I think the second would probably require a search for a particular interview where such a thing was discussed (unless you already have it stored somewhere?), and it's entirely possible that I'd just never find it.

Secondly, the game establishes to my own satisfaction the precedent that you receive help, I don't need them to keep mentioning it every time nor explain how they're there. I can fill in the blanks on my own.

I suppose it all comes down to how you treat those first precedents; as the rule, or the exceptions to the rule. Personally, as I probably made clear in the document, I prefer to think of the early instances of help being due to the WoL simply being weaker in the beginning, and then after 2.0, or maybe 2.1, they're no longer really necessary, and any mention of them is just the characters assuming that you'll need help?

Alphinaud: "Knowing little of this 'saint,' I cannot say if your own strength will suffice, and so I would encourage you to call upon your allies."
WoL: "Uhh yeah, sure thing, Alphinaud. I'll just do that! (lol)"

NPC: This will be a tough one, gather your echo blessed adventurer friends.
Solo WoL: Nah, don't worry about it I'll be fine.
-----
NPC: Quick WoL! No time to lose, the enemy is straight ahead!
Party WoL: With me my 7 echo blessed friends that I always bring with me!

I like that! A nice way of interpreting what the game presents to you.
