I was actually shocked at how many words I know and from watching so much anime , but I also was attentively listening. :)

Hey everyone :)

I'm fairly new to the game, and I didn't understand one word at all said in the live letter.

But.

I love the amount of passion I saw on their faces, and the enthusiasm they have for 2.0. I really can't wait for this update :)

But they are not separating by language nor placing region access restrictions on them, so if you are in NA you can still choose to play on a server in Japan and vice versa.

So they really were getting rid of global servers. Yay, another kind of nice and unique trait of XI and XIV going down the drain...

Man I wish I could have watched it thouugh I'm glad they'll be selling the Meteor Shirt I hope it's more than just events when they sell them

Q: I saw some new artwork... What is this (artwork for the upcoming housing system)?

A: With the new housing system, there are multiple themes such as "wilderness," "sea," and "forest." Players will purchase the land and also the right to own a house. Once you build a house, players will be able to create their unique house by selecting from a list of parts. Also, players will be able to place furniture created by Disciples of the Hand and build a chocobo farm in their yard.

The housing system will have updates dedicated specifically to housing. I'm sure players will really enjoy the housing system. Additionally, objects within the house can be placed via drag & drop (including the PS3 version).

Lastly, there are plans to implement huge spaces of land that cost a fortune!

Was just put in the Live Letter Q/A translation. Not a screenshot, but directly put by a SE member ;D

I really love the shirt. I think you will have another chance to watch when a vid is uploaded of the session. I am patiently hoping some one will translate and add CC like they did with the other live vids. It was most graciously appreciated.

Oh wow I can't wait to see this! I missed that part while I was afk.

no one noticed they are reducing the max gil you can hold? so you have over x amount gil you might wanna spend it now <.<

---

Q: Will you wipe gil from our characters or change the currency with the launch of ARR?

A: No, there won't be a gil wipe. However, we do currently have plans to decrease the max digit by 1 (999,999,999 > 99,999,999)

---

so if you have over 100 mil gil and don't wanna spend it give to me <3

Thank you kindly :)

Even though I didn't understand anything they were saying (beyond 'housing' and 'chocobo' and such), it was quite enjoyable, and as long as they were showing pics, I could get the gist of it. I just really hope housing doesn't have some set limits on how many people are able to have a house......

and PS. I think they should at LEAST put back in the stop-run animation, as watching the characters come to a stop is laughable. They look like they're running on invisible treadmills.

No, we'll still be playing on global servers, they call em WORLDS.
These are data servers, as in you won't get much of a delay/lag by choosing a data server closest to you. You'll still be able to play with people from around the world, don't worry.

Why not just sell the shirt on the Square-Enix store?

I want one!

That was pretty distracting, but it seems like they are adjusting animations and still working on it. For instance, the Lalafell walk animation is totally different in ARR.

That more so to do probably cause they wasn't connected to the actual server and playing on the local one in the office, it reminds me of the auto attack video they posted one time.

chocobo with blm hat? seriously? ;XD and how will that work?

every solo player is going to level with a chocobo pet? for what do we need petclasses then? oh dear..

Correct. They are still global servers, just that they are physically spread out around the world (not just in Japan).

Yah, the hat on the black mage chocobo look kind of silly. Yoshi's art team should stream line them a bit so they are smaller in design. Like a blackmage mask or sorts.

That may be because they intend to change the walk animation to that. If you notice, I believe the Lalafell NPCs DO walk like that already, but the PCs just walk different for some reason. So I think they're changing the Lalafell PC walk to match the NPC walk.

wait what just happened why did some of Bayhone's posts disappear?

Good to hear that they're planning on adding more than one job per class. Not doing so would have been a pretty bad design decision.

Yeah, I think the BLM hat looks pretty goofy on a chocobo. Maybe it'll look better ingame XD

Oh! I believe you are right, I never noticed that npc lalafells in cutscenes do that walk rather than our current one.

Gender may also determine walking, perhaps. I can't confirm it, but if I remember right at all, I think the female lala NPCs walk like Lala's currently do, and the male NPCs walk like that shown in ARR?
