Inconsistency/error in "Raziq" items

[conqueringwill]

There are three crafting items whose names begin with "Raziq:" Raziqsand and Raziqsap from ARR, and Raziqcoat from Heavensward. Variously, they claim to be:

• "Discovered by a Far Eastern alchemist" (Raziqsand)
• "Developed by a Far Eastern alchemist" (Raziqsap)
• "Developed by a Near Eastern alchemist (Raziqcoat)

However, referring to the Japanese text, all three involve "近東の錬金術師アブダルラジク," meaning "the Near Eastern alchemist Abdulraziq." Additionally, both Raziqsand and Raziqcoat were "発見した" (discovered), while only Raziqsap was "発明した" (developed/invented). Based on this, it seems that it would be accurate to change these items' descriptions to claim that they were:

• "Discovered by a Near Eastern alchemist" (Raziqsand)
• "Developed by a Near Eastern alchemist" (Raziqsap)
• "Discovered by a Near Eastern alchemist (Raziqcoat)

Interesting. It would definitely make sense to straighten them all out to "Near Eastern", but perhaps the developed-vs-discovered needs review in all languages? I would expect sand and sap to be discoveries while a "coat" is something developed – although having checked the full English descriptions, they're all described as powders even though the sap has a bottle icon vs the other two having the "powder on a sheet of paper" icon.

Yeah, I suppose the latter is a matter of what they actually are, which is hard to say when I can't imagine what real-world equivalents there are here. But to pull from the Japanese item names (each of which is prefixed with アブダルラジクの, just meaning "Abdulraziq's"):

• Raziqsand is 霊砂 (which is later translated into Aethersand)
• Raziqsap is 霊薬 (which is an actual word, a "miracle drug," and also used for the gear enhancement Rain items)
• Raziqcoat is 硬化触媒 (which just means "hardening/vulcanization catalyst")

Which to me suggests the developed/discovered split is probably correct, or at most Raziqcoat could have also been developed.

You might be better served posting this as a bug in the In-Game Bugs forum. Issues brought up in the Localization forum—even when it's not actually just people whining about localisation choices, which is sadly a pretty big percentage of the forum—tend to not be addressed.
