Ah ok, that was during the time FFXIV caused my graphics card to melt, so I wasn't online at all for a few months. XD Sorry I didn't see it. Thanks so much!! :D <3 That made my day so much better. :3

#XIVLive Q: Did Snape kill Dumbledore?

A: we're looking into it and taking it into consideration

LOL. I guess that's it. wow

Fired off about 30 questions so far, but nothing as of yet aw!

#XIVLive Q: Will you be able to convert equipment crafted with old recipes into materia?

A: Yes. The old recipes will disappear from the game, so convert all your beloved gear into materia and add it to the new equipment.

Q: Which Grand Company should I join? As the equipment rewards are different, I am having a hard time deciding.
A: There will be more chances to earn company seals coming and grand company balance overall will be adjusted. So don’t worry too much about rewards. You should pick the grand company you think is a good fit for you. Also we will not make changes in a way that friends in different grand companies can’t play together.

Q: Will there be a delivery system?

A: We will definitely be implementing a delivery system. Unfortunately, it’s something that is going to take time and I am unable to provide a date for that just yet.

Q: Do you have plans to add mandragora into Eorzea?

A: I will ask the character team if they can add it to their list!

Honestly I don't know either but...we're getting an extra 200 slots today after the patch so hopefully housing will follow in the near future and hit maybe next year. ; w; But yes, a time frame of when that will hit would be lovely.

I've given up on my first attempt at using Twitworld ^^, I don't think I'm using it properly coz the questions I'm tweeting aren't showing up in the # list which everyone else's questions are showing up in. I must be doing something wrong.

Lol is everyone too stunned that it's over to say anything? Back to bed for me

Summoner Jump And Housing Should Be ADDRESSED!

time for breakfast

Headed to school now - that was pretty lackluster in terms of information.

Yes! This is good thats one of my 3 big ones (Housing and AH are still up in the air for now)

I give that a D-, but Yoshi-P did look very chipper. Nice to kind of see his personality in video form. Goodnight everyone.

Well you could atlest watch it. For me it was unavailible all time. Makes me so angry

I would understand it too, however I figured the reps knew the community, after 20+ years (or even 1 year of FFXIV) would have known that Square is a Japanese based company whom have their main development force (at least for FF) based there.

It's like saying:

Blizzard: "We're going to live stream a new WoW update."

Then expect them to Live stream in Spanish because it's your native language despite the fact their main development force is English speakers.

Not to mention, they already had non-japanese speakers participate and get info via twitter or on a different webpage shortly after/during the stream before, like the last Fanfest they setup a website for translations.

#XIVLive Q: When do you think the cool/sexy looking gear will be implemented?

A: We are currently in the process of working out the details. I want to be sure the class gear is implemented first. We will try to implement the cool/sexy looking gear by 1.22 or 1.23.





#XIVLive Q: Is there any information you can provide regarding the impending doom of Eorzea?

A: Out of the 4 keywords that I provided earlier in the year (FUN, LIVE, REBOOT, REBUILD), the keyword “LIVE” will have a huge impact for this event. You’ll notice many changes that will occur in the world of Eorzea. I would like you see the changes for yourself in patch 1.19 and then use your imagination for what’s to come.

I am sad that none of my questions were answered. T.T Though I am glad that they are taking care of AM :D

Thank you. Obviously I overreacted about the whole thing, but you have to understand that while yes I made the choice to stay up I thought I was doing so to watch a translated video. I'm likely going to be banned from this forum for my profanity strewn comments and I understand that. However, they have put me in a considerably bad mood.

My students will be the ones to suffer as a result of this. I just don't think that is fair... I'm rewriting their midterm's essay questions now. You indirectly forced my hand Bayonne. You made me do this because you couldn't do your job and properly inform the English community you represent about this important surrounding information regarding the live letter.

(I'm joking of course... I'm not really joking, but I'm not foaming at the mouth as you might imagine. Honestly, I think my classes were too easy anyways, and it isn't going to kill anyone to have to do a little extra thinking because I'm in a bad mood.)

Sometimes you take a topics course thinking it will be an easy A to pad your GPA (kind of like thinking you can simply watch a video and not learn the intricacies of how to follow a frivolous social networking site), and sometimes you are simply misinformed.

You prioritized a videogame event over your students' midterms?

Edit: Man maybe I wouldn't fire you I'd love to be in your class. I'd skip every one and draw pictures on my tests and say my excuse was I'd be playing games all day. You'd love me of course and you'd give me an A+ since I'd be an antisocial geek.

Prioritized how? They have a midterm today, I have no lecture I have to give. I had my midterm prepared before the semester even began. I'm a grown man I can survive a single night's lack of sleep without it affecting my performance at work.

But you just said your students will be the ones to suffer... insinuating that it will affect your performance at work.

Anything that disappoints you makes me happy.

You can have fun ruining the Ifrit fight for everyone anyway.

Glad I woke up an hour later than I intended to to watch this, except I apparently missed some cool artwork of the Gridania redesign?

What a load of old ***. Should of said, dont bother wathcing if your not japanese. Thanks for letting us know.

Someone after my own heart <3... Flying Spaghetti Monster curse all those social networking abominations.

Also real time translation and/or captioning isn't rocket science (unless the translator/captionist is translating/captioning comments by rocket scientists). It has worked for great many totally unrelated people from the hearing impaired to members of the judiciary to UN delegates for a very long time. I think a company the size of SE could have swung at least English if not also French and German translation for an hour or two during the meeting. Might cost a couple hundred bucks... not inordinate for a bit of good PR for a company that size.

It was really to be expected. From my point of view English translator would have been nice especially since alot of EU people speak English, but that might be unfair to not have translators for all so it doesn't really bother me, all the questions got loaded to twitter page and translated.

I still sat and watched it regardless I couldn't understand but a word here and there.

He just says that because he has to. He's actually in a cheerleader outfit dancing for my words of wisdom and enlightenment I share across these delightful boards.

Actually my final comment regarding the live cast is that I thought it was nice to see Yoshi explain what he could (even if only in Japanese). It goes to show that there are actual people making this game and not robots like 98% of this forums' members think is working on it.

Plus the music in the background was nice.

I wonder why they didn't just do ustream, lol.

I enjoyed jumping from youtube to twitter and back again trying to find out what he was saying. Getting real tired of all the negative talk in these forums lol.

Eh, Youtube, Jtv/whatever it's called now and Ustream all have easy to work with APIs, though Youtube is a popular live stream site as well for developers/news and so on. The only problem is countries that like to block content for no reason which is really out of their control as even Ustream is blocked for some.

You didn't indirectly force my hand Bayonne. I chose to do this because I'm my own autonomous being and let my emotions rule over my primitive decision-making abilities and simply assumed too much information regarding the live letter.

---

Fixed that for ya ;)

I certainly don't see Bayohne running around with a sign on each tentacle saying, "ENGLISH TRANSLATORS WILL BE PRESENT TO TURN YOSHI'S B****** INTO SIMPLE ENGLISH FOR YOU LAZY PEEPS WHO CAN'T BE F***** TO CHECK TWITTER TO UNDERSTAND, EVEN THOUGH THE LODESTONE HAD SAID THAT YOU CAN CHECK TWITTER FOR UPDATES."

Honestly, calm all your farms. Crying over spilt milk, honestly. Bayhone did not lie to us; he just didn't give us full information, which is what normally happens anyway. I'm not particularly happy at it, but I accept it, and I got a fun time tonight translating as best as I can and giving the twitter translations to my LS in-game. Adapt to situations; you should know about that from a professional business side of view.

Edited: took out misinformation

I think that little tidbit with the Garleans taking out the aetheryte crystals is a hint as to what to expect with this new "LIVE" Eorzea - contested territories.

I kinda thought they would unlock at 50 and start at 50, but that was all assumption. In any case, this makes it easier to get the Job you want and gives those who have already leveled to 50 something new to level.

---

Misread, you can "attach" a job to your class. So if you are a Gladiator 30, and just unlocked Paladin, you become a lv.30 Paladin, then you can take the job off, and be a lv.30 Gladiator again. Jobs are specs, not a whole new breed of classes.
