    "Not by Bread alone" Grammar Issues

    During the quest portion where you go to Snowsoak Springs and talk to the animated Artisan, there is a missing word in the dialogue that I noticed.

    Here is the current english text, with the bolded section being the focus.

    [1:31]Animated Artisan: It's just as the savior of Ishgard here says. So stand up straight and quit your whinging for once!
    [1:32]Animated Artisan: That goes for the whole lot of you! You all had─and'll continue to have─a hand in one of the impressive rebuilding efforts this realm has ever seen. So take some damn pride in your work, that the Firmament might soar to even greater heights!


    I believe here, it is meant to be "You all had─and'll continue to have─a hand in one of the [most] impressive rebuilding efforts this realm has ever seen." instead? Of course, correct me if wrong and it was meant to be as stated.

    Mmm, I believe you are correct.

    "One of the impressive" is phrase that is perfectly fine when one is talking about multiple restorations and they are all impressive. But then, "this realm has ever seen" is added to the end of the sentence which changes the requirements.

    "You all had─and'll continue to have─a hand in one of the impressive rebuilding efforts of the realm." would be ok.
    "You all had─and'll continue to have─a hand in one of the most impressive rebuilding efforts this realm has ever seen." would be ok.

    "You all had─and'll continue to have─a hand in one of the impressive rebuilding efforts this realm has ever seen." isn't correct.
