The latest on the rumour mill front: apparently French players are seeing a bug where NPCs referred to their character as every race instead of their current one.

Some oddities of the situation elicited skepticism, so dataminers went in to look at the French localization.


These new racial references aren't in any of the other localizations.
So... we might actually have males and females for both Viera AND a second race? (Keep in mind, Blufever, who's been mostly accurate, never said Viera would be sex-locked, only that there was a second race; however, the presence of both masculine/feminine addresses doesn't necessarily mean both are used, either).

I completely forgot I had money in my psn wallet, which means I can pre-order Shadowbringers for "free" :yayclod:

From what I remember of Brynhildr, the NN there was pretty helpful when I was a sprout still in trial mode, and nice in general.

This isn't totally unrealistic and I wouldn't be surprised if both races have gender translations, even if not used, to prevent bugs from popping up.

That would certainly be a funny way to explain why they made a big deal about talking about the Viera being the last race.

The Viera ones are "light-skinned Veena Viera, and the darker-skinned Rava Viera" at least.

Hrothgar are a decoy leak from the devs to distract from the true second new race: Namazu

X largely ignored all of the non-human races, but that might just be because Spira was super racist.

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
With Gunbreakers leaning on FFVIII, the truth can revealed. Hrothgars are actually Moombas.

Look at that magnificent mane.

How are we supposed to compete with that?

I have stood at a house for 11 hours trying to buy it so a friend could use it.....Me and the only other person to stick around had a truce by the end to only check it so often unless more people showed up. Right at the end some fucker walked up and clicked for five minutes and got the drat thing.
