    Default Manufacted... manufactured... hmm...

    Why do they say that !?
    I didn't even realise that all the characters were saying 'manufacted' instead of 'manufactured' until like... well now.

    I'm so confused...

    it's like magick instead of magic... it's fun...

    Considering FFXII is the earliest in the Ivalice timeline, I believe manufacted nethicite later became the Zodiac stones.

    Manufacted is just a big load of CRAP. How would Larsa like it if we dropped R's from his name? Eh? Now he's Lasa? Yeah, he wouldn't like that at all. The tables being turned is unpleasurable for all involved.

    FF has a tendancy to make up new words from existing ones. In fact lots of fantasy does it... Probably.

    Kind of like Machina.

    If ever they do FFXII-2, someone will probably come up with Manufactured Nethicite

    i cannot stand it when they mispronounce marquis. i think them saying manufacted and magiks is a little neat though

    Polaris is the master of all sig-making!

    Manufacted is not a word. Does it really say that in the script or does it simply sound like manufacted instead of manufactured?

    I looked at my accessory and it says without a doubt 'manufacted nethicite'. The game also spells magic as 'magick' (which is technically acceptable) and technique as 'technick' (which annoys the hell out of me).

    Manufacted>Manufactured

    'nuff said.


    Shakespeare did what he wanted with the language so why cant SE?

But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

    It must be part of the localization style, then. I think that Magick, Technicks, and other naming conventions were only added to make them seem more than they were. Magic and Technique look a lot less interesting than Magick and Technick.

    Technick is actually a word already used in PSU

    The arcaic English in that game annoys the crap out of me.
