    Possible misspelling?

    After the main story quest where you go to Haukke Manor you travel to see Minfila. In the discussion she said something that did not make sense (pictured below). I could not find this issue in the localization forums. So I hope I have not repeated a known issue.



    Is she supposed to say We must alert or We need to alert?

    I seen must needs 2 more times in the quest Wrath of the Titan. I believe Minfilia and Y'shtola say must needs.

    Odd, I totally thought one of these had been posted is Localization already. . .

    Anyway, "must needs" is grammatically correct. According to another poster here, it's still pretty common in usage in the UK, though to the ears of a US player it would come across as a bit old-timey. . .

    Edit: And you're going to see the phrase so many times throughout the game. . .

    You would believe how many times this got posted as a suspected bug in the pre-calamity world. :P

    Consequently, it has become one of the localisation team's favourite terms to use!
