Why don't the devs post more often?

Seriously, I think I've seen maybe... two dev posts since the forum launched. Two.

I know that most of the team is Japanese, and so naturally people of other nationalities and languages aren't going to see quite as much activity, but come on! Two posts? What the crap is up with this?

The forums been up for about a day, and depending on number of translators if they translate everything... it will probably take like 10-20days. Nearing 300 topics and probably close to at least 4000 individual post, and that is just the general section.

I would not expect any immediate direct contact from the devs... most likely only the JP players will have the luxury of that.

Because it's been like 1 day and they have work to do? Give it like a week or a month first mate, SE doesn't do things quickly... ever...

Yeah give it a little more time.

if we could get some intermediaries between the japanese players and us maybe they could ask some questions for us if they havent already i guess.

Really i just want to see us interact more with the other crowds despite the language barrier.

Then google translate the entire page luls, read all their topics.

I'd rather they pop in for a quick read and fix the game with their 8 hours a day. They have a lot to do.

8 hours?! I bet they're laughing (or crying) their a**es off right now, lol.

Few reasons come to mind for starters:
1) The beta version of the forums launched yesterday.
2) They need to re-establish their internal policies regarding how much they can be involved in the discussion, what they can or can not discuss and how to handle posting in two different languages effectively. Even though some may refuse to believe it, they have a lot more work to do to get this right compared to other MMO developers who simply post in English or Korea (and outsource the English development to some F2P company) and let other nationalities deal with it. SE could do the same with Japanese but they're better than that.

Before they can even post once they need to be done with those issues. Deal with it for the time being.

so you want them to fix the game and also reply topic that there like 5-6 of them all the same asking to fix area,copy paste,auto attack should i go on? it's going to take them time for the eng to get any reply from them wait a few days

Nothing i said translated back to japanese would make much sense I imagine.

Well yes, but I know there are some people at SE who can speak English (Sage Sundi comes to mind, though I don't know if he actually plans to post on these forums). But even just posts from the Community Reps would be fine. Just... give us something. Don't leave us in the dark. That's all I'm asking.

You do realize about 20k topics were made day 1? But yet we want the game fixed and Devs wasting there time posting, come on man get real.

My pet theory, which has yet to be refuted, is that the development team is woefully underfunded and understaffed. They need more resources to bring this game to parity with other MMOs and even more resources to make it a game worthy of the FF series. They simply don't have time.

did the same. And they are complaining about the same stuff we do :D

Are you really surprised? I doubt that they have the time to respond to us so quickly right now. They aren't like us, where we already have people that have 60+ posts in the short amount of time that the forums have been up.

Like KRTGDL, I do think that they are understaffed. Just have a feeling they don't have as many people as they should. I imagine that they are really working themselves really hard right now.

This is the most trivial complaint ever...

And the trolls make their mighty stand on each and every forum in the Internet, and in one voice, in unison, they all cry fake tears to lure their prey.

dev tracker

Theres a dev tracker Oni

I knew this would happen, I've been saying it since the very first announcement that there is just noway they gunna be able to post often.

Another thing people need to remember
Devs arent just allowed to post anything they want, it has to be approved
everything they work on falls under a NDA and just spouting off answers to every question they feel like it can get them fired
add in the fact the forums havent even been up for 48 hours....and what we really have here is just a bad case of impatience.
