Hey everyone!

Wanted to give a heads up to all of you that myself and the other North American Community Reps will be gone for a holiday break starting on December 26th, which means that unfortunately there will not be any responses from us until we are back on January 2nd.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday season and we are looking forward to a really fun and eventful 2012!

See you all in the year of the dragon~!

Happy Holidays, gang! We'll be back on the 3rd (maybe I'll make Camate come in on the 2nd since he seems so intent on it) to gather up what we missed during the break, so don't worry about things getting lost in the shuffle.

Have a safe and happy new year!

Happy new year as well! I have a feeling that 2012 is going to be a fun and exciting year!

So... Camate... let's talk business.

*cough*

Have you brought us any presents and/or Square Enix's New Years Resolutions for FFXI? ^^?

I'm not being greedy :eek: I just want to know! :confused::rolleyes::p:D

Keyln

Welcome back!

Did Santa Enix drop us any presents for us FFXI'ers?

Economizer

01-05-2012, 12:53 AM

There are a ton of posts in the Japanese version of this thread, although the Google Translates are so terrible that I got to see a funny mistranslation from what Mizuki Ito said:

I thank you again this year we are working to betray the affection of everyone to FFXI.

In a couple hours we'll see some community reps translate these for us, but I suppose we can laugh at this for now.

Camate

01-05-2012, 05:42 AM

While I don't have any presents or goodies from me, the development team has some New Year messages they would like to share with you.

As Economizer has pointed out, Google translate will miss the mark on a lot of these very cultural expressions, so please accept their messages on my behalf.

Happy New Year!

Along with the implementation of the Test Server and the relaunch of the Free Trial last year, it was also a year that was a turning point for large changes in the development team. Continuing this year, the development and operations team are highly inspired and will be adding a variety of content to expand the world of Vana’diel even more.

Also, this year marks the 25th anniversary of the FINAL FANTASY franchise and the 10th anniversary for FINAL FANTASY XI. We are currently drawing up plans to see if we can celebrate with you all in some way so I hope you’ll all look forward to it.

Happy New Year!

Last year was a year that was a turning point for FFXI in which a lot of issues were posed through the forums.

This year makes the 10th anniversary of FFXI, so I would like to have many of these issues answered and at the same time offer a clear vision, provide new enjoyable content that is appropriate for the 10th anniversary.

Also, I would like to comment more on the forum moving forward to show the development team’s ideas. I hope you’ll all look forward to it.

I will be working my hardest this year to make sure that everyone’s love for FFXI is not betrayed.

Happy New Year!
I guess since it’s a New Year, you want to hear about goals for the future, eh?

Along with the 10th anniversary, there will be a large amount of improvements and changes to both software and hardware. We intend to take the initiative and handle the issues that have not been resolved for a long time, new bugs that arise, and all the other things that we’ve been receiving comments about.

Along side this we are making a variety of preparations, so please forgive me if something slips my mind in the process.

We’ll continue working our hardest because of your continued support!

Of all of the messages this one actually came out the clearest before we got an official translation, and I was quite excited by this... and the number of likes on the post are any indicator, the JP community does too.

At the risk of reading far, far too much into this statement, beyond fixing old annoyances, perhaps we'll see hardware support for something that begins with an e and ends with an n and costs roughly $30 to acquire.

Kalilla

01-05-2012, 06:06 AM

I for one am glad google translate doesn't do a great job at translating, because if it did we wouldn't have these lovely community reps on our side <3

Camate does an amazing job at translating and then gives it his own personal touch to make it not so official and dull. We all appreciate the work you all do Camate, even when you're forced to give us the news we don't want to hear.

Kalilla

Also, Camate! Where is your winter moogle avatar like the rest of the moogles!

...Empyrean? Roughly $30 to by FFXI and play for a month.

...Education? If you go through a lousy internet diploma mill.

...English Muffin? If you buy organic.

...Emancipation? I worked on a drug farm for slave wages til I was 16, to pay my father's habit debt. I saved pennies for years and finally bought my freedom for $29.95... then I moved to the US, got an education and started playing FFXI.

I'm honestly stumped. Unless you mean expansion.

Francisco

01-05-2012, 07:16 AM

I thought about using one...but I am holding out. :p

I'm assuming Camate is like me, and just hates the winter.

(Basically, he's normal.)

Deleted message myself to save Camate the trouble. :x

Thanks for that... now I feel stupid as I was racking my brain to try and figure out that simple answer...

I think he means electrician, but I don't know too many $30 electricians...
