Trivia[]
- Fènghuáng (鳳凰) , also known as Phoenix, are mythological birds found in Sinosphere mythology that reign over all other birds. They are known by similar names in various languages (Vietnamese: Phượng hoàng or Phụng hoàng; Japanese: Hō-ō or Hou-ou or Ho-Oh; Korean: Bonghwang). The males were originally called feng and the females huang but this distinction of gender is often no longer made and they have been blended into a single feminine entity, so that the bird can be paired with the Chinese dragon, which is traditionally deemed male.
- Everyone mistakenly referred to Fenghuang, who is a female, as 'he' or 'him'; even the game hints did the same. This is most likely a developer oversight.
