While his first blurb about the Autumn War stays mostly the same, he speaks of "The area is a sedimentary basin formed by the deposit of the fine silts and sands carried by the river." in English, German he speaks clay, or alumina being there. Once more, I'm not sure which one of the translations is the correct one, but my best bet is Alumina because Erik says something along the lines "As a Scientist I should know of Alumina/Clay." I think Alumina is the better fit of the two. At the very least we get to hear of a reason WHY instead of just "We need more lands" basically.

Meanwhile the Autumn War is known as the Purple Foliage War in German. I laughed.

Whereas the English text speaks of the Ala Mhigans demanding the Seedseers were taking as wards for an unannounced period of time, at least the German Ala Mhigans tell them one of them 'only' were forced to live in Ala Mhigo for ten years.

While the English quests tells about how effective the pikemen of Ala Mhigo where against mounted combat, and Ishgard at best being just known for having a heavy cavalry, in the German text they speak of the Ishgardian Chocobo Cavalry being notoriously for what they did.

In the English text they go about that they simply wanted to curb the power of Ala Mhigo. In the German version? Erik says something along the lines that this was the OFFICIAL reasoning, but instantly adds that Limsa and Ul'dah wanted favours of Gridania in return. Ishgard is just still concerned about its own hide first and foremost.

The English version doesn't mention anything about the older Fist of Rhalgr and the Purge of the main temple. The German text does however. It states that the older monks committed suicide out of grief, and with them the secrets of the Fist of Rhalgr and the chakras got taken with them.

Interestingly enough, it seems they make a difference between being a Monk with Chakras, and one without, while still both being Fist of Rhalgr. They specify the difference between Monks, the elders who knew of Chakras, and Monks who did not. So I'd say once more, fighting like a FoR =/= having knowledge of Chakras. It really seems something what well, trained folk only have access to.

Erik speaks of the Mad King killing not only rich merchants and nobles but also about killing people of what I can only translate as the members of the Parliament. So who knows?

The WoL is said to fight as a Fist, yet Widargelt tells him he is not a true Fist, doesn't have to join his order, I think, but the most clear is that he says that the WoL doesn't have to swear such an oath.

Nothing to be said than conjurers ain't call conjurers, but druids rather in German. Probably might be due to the fact it is well, German, it is probably made for a better with the player base! But still interesting nonetheless.



Sorry guys, more Rhalgr nonsense here, because I'm translating the things I find interesting first. So it seems in this quest patriotic Ala Mhigans wear them! However I'd always imagine they did that sort of thing to begin with, but it is nice to see some ingame reference to it.
