1 Year Anniversary - Letter from the Producer on YouTube Live

Indeed it's during my class period, so I hope they post up a recorded video later on that day.

Going to keep my expectation low as usual, hopefully they will announce something cool, PS3 beta/release date I couldn't care less about :P

If you throw some Jagermeister in with that it could be one great day at the office.

Also it would be nice to have questions screened so we do not have duplicate/similar or silly ones like "What is the future of guildleves" that absolute no one cares about at this very point.

This opportunity doesn't come across often and shouldnt be wasted, also things he cannot answer that we'd love, eg "When can we enter Ishgard" should be ignored and maybe just put in a "Other non-video questions:" on the thread post.

Excited for this!

I'm expecting the reps to make a thread for this in the forums in the next few days where we post our questions, then the ones that're liked/asked the most will be forwarded to Yoshi on the day.

Jager BOOOOOMBS!

Same. This is a huge event that I personally have never seen from ANY other game company and I have been playing games since Pong! Yeah...I said Pong. The original not any remakes so I have seen a lot in my time and to me, this takes guts. I just hope the questions posed and the answers are all worth the time.

Just curious...will the Q&A be from a live audience, press, twitter, some other interactive live media or will he be "answering" pre-scripted questions and concerns (raised on the forums)?

Unless you live in Mountain time or parts of Indiana. They don't celebrate daylight savings time.

Spring forward, fall back. Viva Ben Franklin!!

It's Mountain time here (Utah) and we observe Daylight Savings. I think it's just Arizona that doesn't, which I wish more people would adopt.

How's the translation planning on working, will it all be translated after the fact, or live?

gotta wait on the details no one knows at the moment

Are questions going to be grabbed through the forums or are they going to be taken live? If the former, should we start a new thread for questions or should we post 'em here/another designated spot?

If I had to guess, I would say the GMs we've been seeing walking around Ul'dah asking for questions and concerns recently were the ones collecting questions for Yoshi to answer.

I certainly hope that's the case, 'cause if all he's going on is what people post here it's gonna be a short and uninformative broadcast.

i absolutely agree with this, there were so many interviews conducted by forum leaders over the past year and they asked absolutely ridiculous questions.
no one ever asks questions about the technical programming, or why they specifically chose this or that, or how they feel about developers opinions and advice outside of the final fantasy JP onry universe.
ive never even seen anyone ask the real actual reason why they choose to use the final fantasy name so loosely, no one else does that!
ugh ive had loads of questions for SE over the past two years, almost none of them have been answered.

Just ask them where the PS3 game is PLEASE!

is it like we ask he answers ? from what i get is that they will answer some major questions asked before, i dont think it'll be like he wait for questions and answer them

but that would be really impressive

Imagine if Yoshi-P announced they would he charging for the game during this live feed...

Yoshi would become the best Troll the internet has ever seen. I do believe there is something good in store though for everyone.

So 7am Central?

You shouldn't even be wondering. You have your answer already through common sense.. They have to get EVERYTHING fixed up and altered to their likings before working on a PS3 version, otherwise they will just have more work to do if they start now and have to make big changes as they go along. Not to mention their recent hirings of developers with preferred console experience. This matter doesn't need to be communicated imo. *shrugs*

I'm sure they already have all of the questions they "want to answer."

youtube live has chat on the right side right?
Time for me to brush up on doing translations faster lol j/k.... 5AM my brain would still be in sleep mode...
every translation will end up about subligars.

I doubt they'd use that, it'd be a spam fest.

SPOILER:

He already picked questions he wants to answer, and it's from the Japanese fanbase..

OMG haha, you could be the saviour of all english speaking countries during live show! ^^

Or maybe Yasu or Koji Fox will do some live dubbing. :)

The PS3 version of the game is pretty much done, but they are doing work on it and the PC version together untill its in the state they want to release it in, You dont think they would wait untill the PC version is good enough to even start making it do you?

Uh huh, sounds about right.

Yoshi-p said a few days ago in the famitsu article the pc version is about 50% complete, I take that as meaning there is still another 50% more changes to be addressed, they aren't just guna drop the PS3 version out of nowhere either, there will be a closed beta and an open beta before it is released.

I swear to Jeebus that if someone asks for a Grilled Cheese recipe again in this momentous occasion and we get it, 2012 will get here a year sooner than scheduled.

Once was one times too many.

I WILL DESTROY YOU.

Kinda reminds me of when someone in my LS asked for a miqo'te kabob and it sort of translated in my head the wrong way...

More details will be announced before the event, so don't worry about the finer details just yet. In regards to a few of the more cynical comments, I guess you'll have to wait and see. :)

what time is that in aest (australian eastern standard time) ? im thinking 10 am but i could be wrong hmmm can anyone clarify for me please

Bayohne, ask Yoshi what he's going to name his chocobo!

And let us know what you're going to call yours too! :D

Big shocker there.

*scene on the day*

Reporter: "So Yoshi, first question. How many hours a day have you and the development team been at the office working on the 1.19 patch?"

*Yoshi takes a drag of a cigarette and puts it out on an ashtray, then laughs*

Yoshi: "You don't wanna know buddy, you just... don't wanna know..."

*In the background a distraught worker slams his hand against a locked door screaming "LET ME OUT!!!!"*

Apparently he's getting right to it, immediately when the servers go back up with the new version. Works for me, I can wait another hour or two before playing after waiting all this time, plus considering SE NEVER does live Q&A stuff like this.

---

With the slowness of the P2P downloads we will probably have plenty of time to watch this before it is completed anyways.

as this is being done through You Tube I would not be suprised if there was a translation protocal with about a 10sec delay flashing his response across the screen.
