    Battle log bug on Chimera

    Hello Localisationers

    When playing around with strategies on Chimera I came across a minor text glitch in the battle log.



    As seen in the above picture, when incapping Chimera's tail with Dragon Kick on MNK after the word 'chimera's' there is an extra closing bracket and greater than sign. But upon further inspection I realised that what I first thought to be an error could be an intentional piece of diagramatical art on the coder's behalf. The shape of the ) positioned after the word chimera indicates the curve of its behind. And the > pointing in the fashion it is, can be a representation of the creatures tail, meaning those 2 symbols combined can instruct someone on the positioning of the tail.

    However, there does lead the question of its usefullness. In order to be able to see the diagram, one must first have already struck the blow from behind, thus indicating one must already know the correct position of the tail. This sadly makes it redundant, so even though I can appreciate it, I am submitting it to the Localisation Team for review.

    That's some fine theorizing you did there, Magnesium02. And so it shames me to admit that it's just a screw-up on the EN team's part.

    The two extraneous symbols have been removed. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

    And here I was thinking that was just his tail.
