Is it possible we could get a translation of what this post says?

こんにちは

これは単純に運営方針の違いと言うほかありません。

フォーラムの運営方針として、FFXIでは基本的にコミュニティチームから返答を行うものとしています。

FFXIVに比較して圧倒的に少ない人数で開発しているために、開発者各人の負荷が非常に高い状況のため、開発者が個別に回答することによってフォーラムへの回答範囲に偏りが出ないよう、コミュニティチームが一元的に全スレッドを巡回して優先度の高い案件をピックアップして開発に伝えてくれています。
実はこのフォーラムと全く同じ形式で、社内専用のクローズドフォーラムが運用されており、コミュニティREPがピックアップした案件は一旦社内向けにスレッドが立てられ、全開発者とQAチーム、コミュニティチームなど関係者全員が見られる状態で社内でも議論が進められます。したがって「担当者に確認してきました」という風に回答しているレスは実は全て、一度関係者全員で揉んだ後に草案としてまとめられたものを最低でもプロデューサー、ディレクター、アソシエイトディレクターの3者が確認しゴーサインを出した上で、チームのコンセンサスとしてコミュニティチームより回答しています。
こうした運用体制のために、開発状況によっては多少レスポンスが遅れたりすることもありますが、より確実にチームの総意としてお伝えできるよう運営しています。

とはいえ、私含め少々遠慮しすぎている面もありますので、今後は恥ずかしがらずにもう少し各人からも発言するように努力しますね。もちろんその場合でも社内で揉んだ後のチームコンセンサスとしての発言になると思いますが。

追記：Mocchiのギャグなんかももちろん関係者全員でしっかりチェックしています。

Thank you in advance for anyone who puts forth the effort.

Hello

Others say this is not simply the difference in operating principles.

Management policy of the forum, and replies from the community team shall Basically FFXI.

Because it is far less developed in comparison to people FFXIV, for very high load situation of each individual developer, output range is skewed by respondents to answer a separate forum for developers do not have to tell me to pick up the development of high-priority projects and touring all threads centralized community team.
In the exact same format as this forum actually has operated a closed forum dedicated to house artifacts were picked up by the community REP is erected a thread for the house once, QA teams and all developers, all the people involved and community teams argument is advanced in-house can be seen in the state. So "people have been confirmed," Les replied that in fact all of the wind, at least those producers organized as a draft again after all those involved in Monda, Director, Associate Director, confirmed by three and issued a green light on, and answers from the community team as the team's consensus.
For these operating systems, development in some circumstances there may be some delay or response, we've been able to run more reliably as the consensus of the team.

However, it may refrain from too little faces that included my future, I will try to speak from a little shy individuals. I would say that consensus as a team, of course, even if in-house after Monda.

Added: Checking of course all the people involved in something solid gag Mocchi

I normally wouldn't post a Google translated text, but the last line made me chuckle.

Yeah I figured it was goog trans a sentence or two in.

Thing gives lollertastic results sometimes. It feels to me like it could be a pretty important post- otherwise I would'nt bother trying to find a more thorough transcript. But its not quite every day the Producer himself comes into a thread, so I have a feeling about it.

From what I gather from amongst the bad translations, it looks like they're basically explaining (and, in the process of making it look like they're explaining, actually giving the run-around) why it looks like they're throwing more effort and dev time at FF14 than at FF11.

Pretty annoying we pay full subscription fee and they are reducing the amount of updates we get per year, as well as the amount of content we get when they do update. Last update was laughable small.

Howdy! As you have already noticed, Producer Tanaka has made a post in response to questions on the forum as to why we don’t see more posts from the producer on the FFXI forums.

Thanks for the translation work, but I’d like to touch it up a bit^^ Otsukare Google-san.

Hello!

All I can say is that this is simply a difference in operational policies.

For FFXI, forum operation policy wise, we arranged it so that basically the community team answers and posts.

Compared to FFXIV, FFXI is currently being developed by an extremely small amount of people and because of this each team member’s work load is extremely high. Due to this, in order to prevent imbalances in responses on the forum due to individual developer answers, the community team looks over every thread and picks up on the high priority topics to report to the development team.

Actually, internally we operate a closed forum in exactly the same format as the forum you use and community reps create threads for us internally with the topics they have picked up on. The developers, QA team, community team, and other related personnel are then able to check it out and we can discuss the issues internally. Following this, after getting confirmation from the lead developer, a draft is put together and is then checked by the producer, director, and assistant director, then once the green light is given, the community team makes the response after a consensus has been reached.

Due to this kind of operational structure, depending on the development conditions, sometimes responses can be delayed a bit. However, we are currently operating so that we can relay information to you from the whole team.

Nonetheless, I think we are holding back a little bit too much, myself included, so in the future we will all try our best to unabashedly make some posts. Of course, these responses will reflect the consensus of the entire team as well.

P.S. Everyone makes sure to check Mocchi’s jokes.

Unconsiderate response:
Just get the team together and make FFXVI into FFXI-2
Dont need to transfer characters, maybe just a nice item bonus to level faster or something.

FFXIV needs a lot of work. A LOT. Camera button issues (srsly you make a game and the controls arnt the same as XI's in regards to camera control thats just stupid) - battle system issues etc.

To make FFXIV into FFXI-2 it would have to be completely scrapped and a lot of code rewritten and new areas designed. The maps in that game are terrible. Just a copy-pastega thats obviously seen. Not like the copy-pastega in FFXI. Its like turn left see river go forwards turn right turn left go straight hey... same river????

Anyways leave the FFXIV talk for XIV forum.

[azjazo]

Well since they said they are practically remaking the game, It would be for the best, specially to keep the FLAVOR AND UNIVERSE of FFXI, the renaming of races was silly -.-, seeing how some technically very more diferent games share universes (Ivallice anyone?) one would think it was a no brainer keep the flavor a universe of online FF in vanadiel, plus there are some entire continents unexplored, so either deliver some mayor expansion to FFXI or make XIV into said expansion, but then again, Im no SE executive so I dont know whats on their minds, then you have this letter where FFXI team admints the lack of people working on FFXI atm, makes me a sad panda.
