Letter from the Producer LIVE Part II (10/25/2011)

Thanks for the warning that it's going to be Japanese only this time.

Can we have subtitles?

Subtitles are coming later as with part I.

They could do live-cover subtitles, they do it in the news all the time.

This is SquareEnix, not CNN.

How does CNN do live-cover subtitles? How is that even possible?

The best they could do is dub it live, but I'm happy enough to read the Twitter feed.

It's standard practice in broadcasting to operate on a delay. So even things that are "live" happened 2-5 minutes prior by the time they're seen.

These delays allow for things like censoring, closed captioning and, if needed, subtitled translations.

Yep, that's what I thought. Nothing "live" about that.

Either way we aren't getting the vid with subs any sooner. All we would do is block the original broadcast from JP's until the subs were completed.

i even saw two subtitled words being backspaced on the news the other day. they were super quick about it but man that has got to be a pretty stressful job as im sure the typists are only allowed so many mistakes.
