Ask English Localization Lead Kate Cwynar Lore & Localization Questions

Hey I was wondering why certain characters say the word "comrade" like "comb-raid" and others say it like "comm-rad". does this have to do with dialects in certain areas? or is it just a voice actor preference?

Hi Kate! I hope you find yourself well.

I am wondering if we can get more information on Deudalaphon? It wasn't until very recent in 6.2 that we finally learned about this Convocation member's name from the Ascian Codex entry, but what was their occupation in the Convocation?

I'm very curious to hear more lore one day on both Deudalaphon and Altima since it was confirmed to be the two Sundered Convocation masks Gaius had claimed.

Cheers, and I hope you're enjoying fanfest

Hey Kate, I had some questions about the world map at the moment.
I can't help but see that Illsabard and the area adjacent to the Burn & Gyr Abania remain clouded still to this day. Is there a possible lore reason as to why it's still clouded or will we finally uncloud Illsabard? I also don't know where we might find the south sea isles (the home of lalafells) on the map.

Hi Kate, you do great work! Here's my question:

When was Ivalice at its height? We've had a lot of storylines that bring them up, but we've never actually heard when exactly they were around!

Hello Kate and the Whole dev team! Would y'all consider implementing into the normal gathering system the separate inventory that Island sanctuary already has? So that inventories would be more accessible for other items

[Cleretic]

One other question:

Is there any chance we'll learn more about Gelmorra? Inquiring Duskwight mains want to know more about their homeland!

[ranrannerson]

Are there any further plans to utilize Gaius in content outside of Werlyt, like maybe getting into his relationship with the imperial family? I've been thinking about the mention in EE1 that he was Solus's favorite legatus and wondering if he even knows Solus was an Ascian.

[Janyd]

Hello, Kate! Thank you for the efforts you and your team put into the lore and localization of the game!

Here is my question: Following the events of the "Save the Queen" arc in Shadowbringers, and the fall of Garlemald during 6.0, will we see any further developments along those lines in once-Imperial territory? In Corvos or Dalmasca/Golmore maybe?

[Iscah]

Apparently since 5.3 in the Japanese version of the game, both Alisaie and our character have been addressing G'raha casually as "Raha", indicating a close relationship with him.

We have seen other characters do this – Krile calls him Raha, and in other cases we've seen Matoya refer to "Shtola" and Lyse to "Naago" without the tribe prefixes for the same reason – so the audience is already familiar with the idea that this is done for close friends and relatives.

Why was the decision made to alter it in this case and lose the implications it has on the characters' relationships?

After the Myths of the Realm raid series, will the lore for the Twelve be wrapped up, or will there be more opportunities to find out about them? The intriguing suggestions unearthed after completing Euphrosyne are incredible, but I think those of us who particularly like our WoLs' patron deities would love more information about them. (I know I would be over the literal moon for more Nymeia lore...)
