So to all of you who keep asking for SE to add stuff to change this and that well try asking elsewhere...

Yeah, you know, they ARE japanese. I know, how preposterous of them to talk in their own language and then HOW DARE THEY Provide a translation from that!

Wonder why, it's always the same people whining about the silliest things.

Panicking because the game is getting better and better and looking for new excuses to complain?

sorry about that, i forgot i am 3 hours in advance and not the other way around. Thanks for the correction.

I'm not sure what people expected. Were they supposed to have French, German and English translators on the screen with him translating everything he said?

That hardly my point, my point was it should have all been in the same place instead of spread across 2 websites.

It's not hard to throw a website together with a few plugins as XIVpads proved.

Nah, better solution would be for Yoshida to do a recording then upload it once they have English/German/French subtitles finished. Would be far better than a stream live stream and lolTwatter.

---

Agreed that would have been the best scenario.

I don't even see the point of the video feed besides a few images which could have easily shown in a normal letter and with much better quality as well.

Ah, cool. I guess I must have missed it during my "catch-up" after being gone since a month after launch up until last week. I thought I had read every interview. xD

Where did i say that they shouldn't support EU or AU or wtv? What im saying is that their focus is 100% Japan and the other markets which are much larger are being ignored.

Make a suggestion and maybe they'll take note of it for the next interview.

To me it seems Blizzard's Priority is it's English speaking players.

To me it seems Bioware's Priority is it's English Speaking players.

To me it seems like Trion's Priority is it's English Speaking players.

To me it seems like Activision's Priority is it's English speaking players.

To me it seems like EA's Priority is it's English speaking players.


Huh, go figure that a company would actually communicate in their native languages mainly.

Whenever Blizzard answers questions about WoW or an update/nerf/buff it's almost always in English then translated to other supported languages, why is Blizzard favoring their English players?

See how silly this whole "favoritism" thing is?

I had no idea.
