CG Midlander

On a less critical curiosity in the 1.0 intro when the Elezen says "Oh look who's back from his reverie" is another way of saying "Hey look who just came back from an Echo" since as Ferny stated all 3 of them possess it?

Yes, that's pretty much it. He's poking fun at derplander, like saying "oh look who came back from his little stroll in the past/echo".

I get this feeling that they just met Derplander, as the elezen only refers to him as "midlander" instead of by name, but they know enough about the echo to know that he has it, and that he was drawn into one while sitting at their table.

Actually, they might know him or not. It's not uncommon to use a racial term as a nickname, even among friends (I mean, I do know a few people who I actually call after the place they were born, rather than their actual name, for example).

I dunno, its really unnatural sounding in a circle of familiarity, even in a fantasy world. We don't have many examples of characters saying "Hey you, Lalafell" or "hey you, elezen" amongst each other

I'm sure we'll find out what became of him, or where he was during the Calamity. His role is too important to just be swept under the rug like the nation storylines. Let's ask Ferny some impossible questions instead!

There's a preview translation for the ConnectOn! Interview in the JP to English thread.... Urianger was a temporary NPC and is taking a break...? Maybe he'll be back later.

More interesting tidbit was that Legacy PCs will be treated slightly differently than new players when it comes to NPC dialogue. So Loremongers need to be sure to make a new character in ARR. To get both sides of the story. To survivors of the SUE, PCs who transferred from 1.0 story line are called "Hollow Beings". Of course, this is a translation and the localization team may call us something else in English.

I wonder why they would give us a name with such a negative connotation?

Because the survivors are merely soul-less Echoes of Louisoux? Way to feed my paranoia Hiir, thanks! :P
