Lemme see... where did I say it's impossible...

Oh yes. I didn't. I thought so.

from other's translation, I think

• she knows all the wind change at Garuada phase 3,
• she asked (pretty much broke nda) why the flash range is short?
• went to Ifrit extreme as War, cus she asked war going to be DD or tank in ARR
• She asked about Darklight set gear, how good they will be at ARR
• Garuada voice: will my relics weapon lost top-tier power?
• also asked: Can I invite ppl by clicking their names?

I think she really played a lot at 1.0 cus she didn't look at script or anything when she was asking questions with lots details...

forgot to list source


to reply down there so no need new post: ya she will be safe, you need to watch when she talked/complained and slowly turned into Garuada. Yoshi was so frighten and sit like an elementary student (in fact all 3 person were sitting straight up and listen to lecture) and listen to her complain XD

I don't remember where I saw it, or how long ago it was, but there were quite a few Japanese Celebrities who played FFXIV and FFXI and I believe she's one of the few that were on the list. She looks really familiar and I'm not too keen on celebrities of other countries.

I also remember 2 or 2 Japanese models played. It shouldn't be too surprising since the growth of girls who play games is increasing. My gf loves video games, and a long with a lot of her friends. So it's not hard for me to accept that she actually knew what she was talking about.

I'd also like to buy the Meteor Survivor shirt.. but I will probably make my own by the time they make it available. IF they do at all.

Hopefully that means information on the final collector's edition package!

SE knows me...

ME:

I'll get the collector again even if they put some shit like 1.0 collector XD



BTW.... Fat Chocobos \o\ (I hope in a Primal Fight :O )

While Beta phase 3 will begin early June, we will be kicking it off with a vast amount of material as well as a load of edits and adjustments based on feedback that we have received, so please try and hang in there for about a month. (I’d also like to release my next Producer Letter as soon as possible.)

Thanks again to everyone who showed up, to those who watched behind their monitors, and for all the comments!

P.S.
…I’m off now to make all the operation staff sit in seiza for turning me into “Yo-qo’te”
(*Translators note: Seiza is the traditional Japanese style of sitting on your knees with your legs tucked underneath you.)

Nope. Yoshida mentioned the fact that they have a ton of work to do to transfer characters over without risking bugs and problems, and they want to implement more of the feedback from the beta.

Longer time between beta phases= good thing. I'm seriously really happy/g lad they're taking their time.

But what to do???

lots screaming and shouting XD

LMAO! Two Alienware dudes that sound like they're jacked up on Red Bull being chased by groupies! This was something you didn't need translation to appreciate.

Rie Tanaka seems nice and all, but I'm dying to know who's going to do the English VA for Kan-E-Senna (since she's my favorite NPC).

even better, watch old clips and pretend that Kan-e-Senna was voiced by Rie Tanaka

So January 2013 turns into July 2013 at best. Only a 6-7 month delay, no big deal.

Camate doesn't seen too phased by this punishment. I guess it's because snurbles don't have knees. I wonder how Bayohne would accomplish that position...
Edit: I must have been tired, because I wrote "Seiza" instead of "Camate".

If only SE would release FFX/X-2 Remastered we would be fine! :S

Oh well. I still hope they take as long as they need to this time. Although i'm sure it could totally survive not being ready at launch................wait I feel like that happened somewhere before! :D

Funny, I just received a "coming soon" mail on those from SE members. Maybe they should have added when :P

I'm glad they get the extra time. More polish is always a good thing.

So for anyone wondering the significance of the voice actor selections for the Japanese track, here's some quick examples.

Alpinaud: http://youtu.be/X0ileSGykxQ (Akito Takagi - Bakuman; glasses guy)
Kan-E-Senna/Garuda: http://youtu.be/-KYJvuJtHk0?t=45s (Yomi - Azumanga Daioh; glasses girl)
Thancred: http://youtu.be/_Lj8LkOo_VI (Graham Aker - Gundam 00; no glasses guy)

Shuujin was my favorite in Bakuman, and Graham Aker was too cool (he also voices Gray from Fairy Tail if anybody knows that).

Couple more of Yuichi Nakamura (Thancred) in protagonist roles:
Alto from Macross Frontier
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gop8jb-w-wI
Kurt Irving from Valkyria Chronicles 3 (damn you Sega, damn you!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwfBd97iAUQ

Not a protagonost, but Cid Raines from FFXIII
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkQy04rv2WA

Rie Tanaka too (Kan-E and Garuda)

Lacus Clyne from Gundam Seed (yes, she's a very popular singer too)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s74J5ZJiYAw

They're both extremely high level voice actors, and it shows that SE is going all out this time.

I hope they bring back crispin freeman for the English.

has it been confirmed that the US and EU version able to pick Japan voice acting?

Cid nan Garlond = [Rikiya Koyama]
Lady Minfilia　= [Miyuki Sawasiro]

That was found

enjoy

>Deli

sry　I want you to try to check was replaced

^ it works
that's ok cus ppl told me the same thing too XD I think it only restricted the links from Asia...


for ppl got the "forbidden" thing: if you use Chrome,right click the links and say "open link in incognito window" then it should work... I think Incognito mode masked your area...

Oh goodness, Cid will have the same voice as Basch from Final Fantasy XII!

here's Rikiya Koyama's profile from Wikipedia. He's another big hitter.

Miyuki Sawashiro is another big name, she's Milla from Tales of Xillia, Cammy in the latest Street Fighter games, Shion from Psycho pass and Kosuke (the psycho kid) from Btoom.

Those two characters are in good hands, no doubt.

Oh god, Rikiya Koyama did Gaiou in SRWZ :O
My god they're setting Cid up for a very badass type, from what I gather Rikiya voices mostly extremely badass types, guy was the japanese voice for Boromir and Neo...
Also Miyuki plays often the role of the action woman, Makoto from Devil Survivor 2, the japanese voice of Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite, Catherine, voice of the female avatar in FE:A... They're definitely aiming Minfila for a strong, action-oriented type.

She also plays the super sexy bomb quite often. Not sure that'd fit Minfilia lol.

That is true. That said, VAs can shift roles pretty radically, and actually my examples were none of them super sexy bombs, Catherine aside (I spoke only of those i've personally seen). Actually, amusingly, Makoto, Elizabeth and the Avatar are three commander-type characters, so at least she does have experience with commanders.

Oh I know that quite well, was just musing :D

Curious to know who's going to be voicing the English versions. Probably the usual I'm sure.

I'm dying to know, too! I'm sorry, but I have little to no interest in who's doing the Japanese voice acting considering I will be playing this game in English.

Unfortunately I doubt they'll be on the same level of the JP ones, but oh well.

If I could choose the english voice cast .... It would go something like this. :)

Merlwyb = Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

Raubahn = Christopher Sabat

Kan-E-Senna = Kim Mai Guest

Minfilia = Amanda Winn Lee

Cid Garlond = Steven Blum

Thancred = Crispin Freeman
