Translations (JP to English)

A reportage (to translate XD) about the today's FF14/Luminous conference here:
http://metenyo.blog15.fc2.com/blog-entry-6953.html

This is just a conference from the technical/developer side of things a la "how we dealt with the failure, what we have done to come this far", but not really any info about the game itself. As Yoshida-san said at the beginning "This presentation will probably won't be of any use to the most to you." Level is a bit too high for me with all the technical terms, so I'm not going to provide a summary this time. I'll leave it for Rein to decide whether he wants to translate that or not...

Just want to say thanks for all the translations being done here =) Been enjoying the information and appreciate it greatly!

Yea I can't 100% understand it from Google translations. It does sound like it has some great information however.

Thanks for the info.

It does sound like it has some great information however.

Nothing on the game. This interview is more of an overview about how the decision making went behind the scenes, a few questions about rivals (not seeing DQX or FFXI as one), how the response about the alpha is and that beta will be on a large scale. Nothing really that interesting if you ask me...

Added translations Soukyuu did for us on the OP so it's easier to find/read. Again thanks for the translations Soukyuu

As for the JP rep posts, right now they are just replying to those JP players asking to open up more positions for alpha test and that they can't wait, Foxclon telling them they are planning to open up more slots so hang in there.

Not sure if this applies to non JP accounts as well but...

こんにちは。

本日この後、αテスターの追加を行なって、当選メールの発射が行われる予定です。
発射はもう少し後のようですので、無事に当選されますよう祈りつつ、その時をお待ちください……

メールを発射したタイミングでTwitterでお知らせがポストされると思いますので、厳密なタイミングは
そちらを見ていていただくと良いかと思います

Foxclon saying at the time the alpha invitation mails are sent out they post a twitter feed... so I checked the NA twitter account and saw this

FINAL FANTASY XIV ‏@FF_XIV_EN Update: Now Delivering Alpha Tester Acceptance Mails! #FFXIV

So most likely those who got invitation should of gotten them already, if you don't see them.... /comfort there is still more invitations + beta
