Forum login issue fixed & future forum for ARR

こんばんは。
Good evening,

本日、一部の方が公式フォーラムにログインすることができない不具合が発生しておりました。
こちらにつきましては、修正作業を行い、現在は正常にログインを行うことが可能です。
ご迷惑をおかけいたしました。
There was an issue where group of people could not login to the forums today.
In regards to this issue, we have repaired and currently it is possible to login normally.
We apologize for the trouble.

新ロードマップも公開されβテストも参加者募集に漕ぎ着けたことですし
そろそろ旧版Webサービスの停止/凍結について
具体的な予定を教えていただける時期にきたのではないでしょうか？
The new roadmap was released for Beta test and we're finally at stage of registering beta applicants. Can you please let us know your plans and timing for the stopping operations on the old version web service.

現在使用している FINAL FANTASY XIV Forums（このフォーラム） は、新生版以降も利用します。
停止を行う予定は現時点ではありません。
ただし、Lodestoneその他のウェブサイトのデザイン変更などに合わせて、フォーラムのデザインも
変更になる可能性があります。新生サービス以前の投稿の扱いについては現時点で決定して
いませんが、リードオンリーのアーカイブ化する可能性があります。
この辺りは今後も具体的になるに連れお知らせしていきますね。
The current FINAL FANTASY XIV Forums we are using will be used in ARR as well.
Currently, we don't have any plans of stopping it.
However along with Lodestone and other website design changes, it is possible that the forum design will change as well. For the existing posts pre-ARR, we haven't confirmed yet but it is possible that it will become read-only and archived.
We will update you on this one once we have more information.

Regarding SLI and Dual Graphics

こんばんは。
Good evening,

AMDのDG（Dual Graphics）の対応もお願いします、AMDのAPUとRADEONを協調動作させる
ソリューションです（劣化CFX）AMD系のモバイルノートや低価格PCのグラフィックス性能を
伸ばすのでお願いします。
Please also make it work with AMD's DG (Dual Graphics). It's the solution to make AMD's APU and Radeon work together. It increases the specs for AMD type mobile notebook and other cheaper lower priced graphics as well.

こちらについては、将来的に対応できるよう検討中です。
For this one, we are looking into addressing in the future.

それではβテスト時は、ＳＬＩの設定をＯＦＦにしておいたほうが、よいでしょうか？
During the Beta test should we turn off the SLI settings?

現在、最適化の作業を行っているところです。
対応が完了した時点で改めてアナウンスを行いますので、それまでは設定オフにしておいてください。
というのも、今の段階では主にグラフィック面のパフォーマンスが落ちてしまう箇所が存在するためです。
Currently, we are working on optimization for this. Once the this has been addressed we will update you all so until then please have it turned off. The reason being, by having it on it right now there will be parts where the graphic performance will drop.

This one is regarding the opening movie they released.
Some on the JP forums, including myself. Loved the SE's usual high quality movie and all that, but at same time we felt that if a new player playing XIV watched that movie without knowing what happened before, it's just going to confuse them... why Bahamut and Odin already from beginning!? Why is there a war? Why did those guys suddenly get teleported??? Why do they look so happy when they were at war right before?

***** Talk in another thread please. *****

こんばんは。
Good evening,

今公開しているオープニングって、βテスト用、新生移行説明用のオープニングムービーと思ってました。
もしかして新生正式サービスのオープニングもあれのままなんですかね。

完全新規で入ってくるプレイヤーには意味が分からないものなので、
別にもう１本作っていると・・・まあ信じたいとこですが
The opening movie that's released right now I believe is for beta test or for those transitioning into ARR, this one shows the meaning. Or is the official ARR opening going to be just like this.
For bran new players that is going to come in, this will be very confusing and I just want to hope they are making one more movie.

はい。新しくプレイされる方に向けた別の編集バージョンの準備をしています。
公開された際には、どのような差異があるかをご覧いただくという楽しみ方もアリかもしれません。
Yes. For new players we are preparing another edited version.
Once released, it may be fun to compare which parts are different.

こんにちは。
Hello,

過去にもこちら でお伝えしていますが、新生版でのリンクシェルはチャットチャンネル化され、現行版にてリンクシェルが保有していた機能は、新生版ではフリーカンパニーが保有することになります。
そのため、本スレッドで寄せられたご意見はフリーカンパニーへのものとして回答いたします。

In the past we mentioned the following (link above). In ARR linkshell will be converted into chat channel style and the features ver 1.x linkshell had will be moved onto Free Company in ARR. For that reason, I will answer the comments we received for Linkshell features as Free Company.

ＬＳのマスターがＬＳメンバーの除名なども行えないのは問題と思います。
正確には相手と同じエリアにいないとできない。
I think it's a problem where LS master can't even delete LS members. Actually, have to be in the same area as the other person to do it.

LSメンが近くに居ないと（Sayが届く程度）現状の機能も使えない仕様を考えるべき。
Should check the features which requires those LS members need to be in same range as Say.

新生版では、たとえ対象のプレイヤーがログアウトしていたとしても、
除名や権限の設定変更などの操作を行うことが可能になる予定です。
また、フリーカンパニーのリーダーが一定期間ログインを行わなかった場合、
リーダーの権限が同一フリーカンパニー内の他のメンバーに移動するような機能も検討しています。
In ARR we are planning to make it posssible to remove or change permissions settings for the other plaeyrs even if the other player is logged out. Also we are looking into feature where say if the Free Company leader doesn't login for some time you can move the features/permissions to another Free Company member.

One more rep post (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...534#post936534) but this one is just for beta application issue someone was having and it's already resolved. Just slow e-mail on users end.

Sweet! I've been waiting to hear that for over a year now!

Reinhart, I went back and read your old translations, (no FFXIV means I'm really bored and have a lot of free time) and there is a drastic improvement in the quality of your translations! I guess practicing has really helped you out a ton! The earlier ones were difficult for me to understand, but you have gotten much better at conveying the message across.

No plans for chat bubbles for player characters.

こんばんは。
Good evening,

吹き出しに関するフィードバックありがとうございます。
Thanks for your feedbacks in regards to chat bubbles.

自分は吹き出しに関しては、表示したくない理由が、
あれって、看板みたいな不透明な板に文字を並べて表示するじゃないですか。
それだけ、景色が板で隠されてしまうんですよね。
For me the reason I don't want to have chat bubble display is because they are like billboards. You got a flat board with message in it. By doing that it hides the background.

上記ご意見にもありますが、プレイヤーキャラクターから吹き出しが沢山表示されてしまうと、
画面が見辛くなってしまう可能性があります。
そのため、現時点ではプレイヤーキャラクターの発言に吹き出しを表示する予定はありません。
Above comment is one, also if there are many players talking in chat bubbles it's possible that the screen will be very hard to view.
For that reason, currently we have no plans for displaying player character messages in chat bubbles

This may have nothing to do with FFXIV or maybe it will? Some small info that came out on JP site when I was looking around.

Source: http://ameblo.jp/seek202/entry-11448693502.html

And the image you see in that link isn't the actual stuff... so don't believe in that one.

Don't bellieve in this one either, although it looks cool



This source itself may be disinfo as well so don't take it seriously just yet.

Q（emol.com）：新型モデルは数ヶ月以内に発表されるのか。
A（Hiroshi Sakamoto氏：VP, Sony）：まだ極秘だ。だが私たちの友人達は準備を進めている。私が言えることは、私たちは6月にあるゲーム･イベントE3に集中しているということだ。アナウンスはその時か、もっと早くの5月になるかもしれない。
Q(emol.com): Will there be an annoucement for the new model within upcoming month?
A(Mr. Hiroshi Sakamoto: VP, Sony): It's still confidential. Our friends is getting it prepared. All I can say is that we are concentrating on the June's E3 game event. For announcement, it will be then or may be May if early.

Q：大きな発表に備えているということか。もっと何かあるか。
A：そのとき初めて大きな発表をするだろう。だがいずれにせよ、5月までは待ってもらわねばならない。
Q: So you're getting ready for the big announcement, is there anything else?
A: We will the big annoucment at that time. Either way, you would have to wait until May.

That's cool. It's better not be $599.99 again because Sony need to beat Microsoft in marketing the products.

it being said that xbox is being release oct and ps4 in nov and both would have a price tag of 399.99$ is the word right now.
400$ for a new console seem about right price for me just 100$ more then a normal console like ps1,ps2 price tag when they was release.

So, that means that next Xbox comes out first before PS4? Hmm, okay.

Two reasons why I want to see Sony to beat Microsoft.

1) I can finally play all Halo games on my PC since I still don't see the point of buying an Xbox.
2) I can finally play all JRPG games on my PS4 since Microsoft need to stop messing with Japanese developers.

That's my opinion but I know Xbox will win in North America and it's hard for Japanese developers to localize their games but hell with it and just release all third-party games on both systems.
