Translations (JP to English)

[Dragonheart]

So we will have the last stage tomorrow yay :3

[Starlord]

YoshiP even calls me Rain... lol I'm used to it already

He saw the pumpkin carving (shaving??) yay!
Anyways main part is the last sentence from it for most people

"Alpha Test is going along fine" which seems to me that Phase 3 will be around the corner =). Great to hear it's going smoothly.

最終セーブメンテナンス以降は、
今までと比較にならないくらいに小出し小出しにＰレターなどで進捗情報を出してください。
毎週末に１回とか、ＦＦＸＩＶの存在を忘れない頻度で。

月一回とかだと、ゲームへの興味が薄くなっていく気がします。
α当たらなかったとか、β当たらなかったとか、そういう方はより引退率高くなるのでは。

完全な状態で新生を出したいから４月になっちゃった。とかでも
みんながαとかβとか参加できてさえいれば、あまり人減らないんじゃないかな。
とにかく「プレイ」できない状況が長いのは危ないです。
After the final save maintenance please release more information through P letter and such unlike how it is right now. Like once every end of the week so we don't forget the existence of FFXIV.

If it's once a month I believe our interest towards the game will start dropping.
Specially for those who didn't make it to alpha or beta may increase the rate of people quitting.

Even if the game turned out to be released in April if everyone can participate in alpha or beta i don't think much people will go away. Anyhow not being able to play for long time is a dangerous.

プロデューサ/ディレクタの吉田です。
レターだけでなく、αの動画もできるだけ毎週出していく予定ですので、
皆さんにしっかり新生進捗やゲーム内容の情報はお伝えしていこうと思います！
Producer/Director Yoshida here
We are planning to try and release no only letter but video's from alpha footage as much as possible. We want to deliver the progress and game details to everyone!

参加可能タイミングの早い遅いは、当選順序が出てしまうことにはなりますが、
できる限り多くの方にαテストやβへの参加をして頂こうと思っていますので、引き続きよろしくお願いします！
For being able to participage depending on the selection it will vary but I would like as much players to be able to participate in alpha test or beta so please continue to look forward to it!

No.. .don't ask... if that's going to be 'flood' of information... I wouldn't know...

[Gospel]

Is it going to be a flood of information?

Just messin with ya. Great news all around.

[Orophin]

Hmm..I might have to log in tomorrow and check out the new weather. Glad to hear that Alpha testing is going smoothly.

Regarding Character Creation

こんばんは。
Good evening,

多数のフィードバックありがとうございます。
Thank for the many feedbacks.

UIですが、森フィールドの時間変化させる機能があればと思います
時計のようなUIで一週２４ｈ動くタイプだと使いやすいかと
Regarding UI, it would be nice if there was a feature where you can change the time in the forest field, like a clock where you can move around 24h.

プレビュー環境でのキャラクタの回転操作や昼／夜など時刻変化によるライトの確認はβテスト版で対応予定ですし、他にも画策しています
We are planning to be able to rotate the character and have day/night time changes to check the lighting in beta test version, also have other ideas

設定項目の表記ですが、「尾の形」の「形」が漢字なのに、「瞳のかたち」「鼻のかたち」「口のかたち」だとひらがなの「かたち」と揺れています。
誰もチェックしなかったんでしょうか？
(This probably only applies to JP - saying the text for the tail shape it's using kanji characters but for eye, nose, mouth it's showing as hiragana.)

ご指摘ありがとうございます。現状では表記揺れがあることを確認しています。
こちらは正式リリースに向け統一を行っていきます。
Thanks for pointing that out. Currently we acknowledge that there are naming is different. We will fix these towards the official release version.

色数や髪型数が変わってるように見えないのはαだから？
少なくとも、αでは確かめられないララフェルがミコッテなどと同じ数の髪型数になっているといいのですが。
I don't see much change in amount of colors or available hair types, is this because it's still alpha?
Would be nice if at least for Miqo'te and Lalafel which we can't check in alpha to have the same amount of hair styles.

頼むからもう少し髪型(それが無理ならせめて髪の毛の色だけでも)を増やして欲しいです。
床屋？みたいなものが今後追加されるとは明言されてますが、
これでは現行版と同様に似たようなキャラばかりになってしまう。
Please add some more hair styles (If that's not possible at least more colors for hair) we heard there will be stuff like a barber added later on but if it's as is it will end up just like current version with lots of same looking characters.

髪型は種族によってはβテスト版以降で、現行FFXIVに存在しないものが新たに追加される予定です。
また、ゲーム内の髪型変更コンテンツが実装された以降は、さらに新たな髪型も随時追加されていく予定です。
色数については増やせないか検討中です。
For hair style for teh races will be post beta test version and we have a plan to add new ones which doesn't exist in current FFXIV. Also once the content where you can change the hairstyle in game is released we are planning to add even more hair styles at that time. Regarding the amount color we are looking into it right now to see if we can increase them.

Awesome, now we can all be happy now... ( or can we?)

http://goo.gl/tCl3d - This one Alieze is asking what's going to happen to the LS forums after the final save and Triairy just responding with link to previous comment he made where LS forums will remain just the way it was at the timing of final save and in ARR version those new LS members with the privileged will be able to view those threads.

[Munba]

Confirmation about new hairstyles = no more HAIR threads. Thanks to god.

Grass, Hair... which will be the third BIG problem?
