Translations (JP to English)

[Kristina_Farron]

new interview : http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/

Basically it's the same with 4Gamer (reporters from the two sites are interviewed together).
With some detail:
1. The Windows 8 touch UI was started on 2011 autumn as a part of co-promotion project with PC makers and Microsoft.
2. The ultrabook used for touch UI demo was slower than the 'LOW' PC used for live demo, but it's still able to run ARR.
3. There will be no official support (such as graphic option "very low") for machine under Core2Duo + 8800GT.
4. About the delay of Close Beta phase 1, Yoshi said a player told him it's very hard to wait for 6 weeks without anything to play with, also concern about the community will fall apart with such a long blank. Yoshi responds "I knew that very well", but emphasized "It's more important to keep the quality of ARR attractive and competitive with other MMO, if we can success on this, the community will get together again".

in the interview they spoke about airship content?

First thing that got me was the abolishment of anima? Yoshi P gave his reasoning being it's disheartening to be told by a friend that a FATE event is starting in Ul'dah while you're in Gridania with no anima, so they're removing it.

Airships and Boats are going to be tied to content and the storyline. He thinks it'd be nice to have pirates attack the airships, and Krakens and other sea monsters attack the boats a la. FFXI.

Someone said "wet" for the "very high" preset. It doesn't mean "wet" the way you think it does, it's just another onomatopoeic word with a meaning better explained in Japanese than English. In a nutshell it's just "flashy and gaudy".

Nice!

About anima, it means we'll have free teleport? Nobody will use transportations in that case..

Need to get proper translation! D: Reinhart wherefore art thou!

Sorry couldn't help it lol. But I'm glad that they thought this through and that teleport will be something you'll have to pay gil for. But yeah, I'm also hoping for a translation on that boat and airship part. It will certainly put a big smile on my face if they will go that way.
