Why do the Japanese get an apology but not us?

2.4 Apology and Notice of patch notes preceding public worth


Hi there Regard was published the other day "2.4 patch notes preceding the public", there is apologize and Announcements. Originally, in FFXIV of policy, the occurrence of impact and confusion in the market ahead of the patch in order to avoid, add new recipes to being called to mask (private) in the prior time of publication it had been But, by this operation mistake, recipes, except the armor nurses to the prior patch notes were I have been described. Although it was also considered to be deleted, faster diffusion of information from that it is a high patch notes degree of attention, and the determination that prefer to remove lacks equality in terms of the information gap, in terms of what the public already is, the status quo has decided to leave remains.For that it has become possible to influence the market before the patch, and apologize. There is no excuse. In addition, with respect to unpublished armor nurses at the moment, it does not expand the influence of the more market also in order, as originally planned, published in the full version to be published after patch maintenance will be. Thus, it becomes a notice lacking balance between Crafter classes regard points Again apologize. So as not to relapse is such a thing future, so we will continue to ensure the operation, player of thank you for your understanding and cooperation. ※ With regard to problems such as mistake has gotten reported or confirmed in addition to the above, we sequentially fix.

Because the developers are Japanese and thus can push an apology out in Japanese before it finishes going through the localization team.

Wow... they actually apologized about that? I mean it does suck that this happened, they've yet to release this much info. with preliminary patch notes before. More than likely if there is an apology for other languages it will need to get translated properly, then passed out in their respective Lodestone/Forum section.

That too lol.

Unpublished armor nurses?

The JP community is more expectant of apologies than NA. It's all about culture.

That was posted 20 min before your post in Japanese forum. Doesn't mean they won't also post something here too, sheesh. Most American companies/games post things in English faster too.

If it was like a couple days later maybe I could understand being upset, but they dont have to post everything instantly in every language.

The armor nurses is armor recipes

Yeah in Japanese it says "甲冑師レシピ" which is basically "armor craftsman recipies".

Strangely, this is pretty much what I imagined, though I has forgotten about new master crafting books and thought like...books written by an armorer...which I guess it is...you know what I mean.

Ferne will be nestled in bed at the moment in London as it IS literally 3 in the morning there right now (nearly 4) lol Ditto Yoshida I would imagine.

Let's not forget there's an entire localization team, yes? With that said, it was posted at 10:40 a.m. on a Saturday.

Assuming the localization team would be the one to field that translation request, I doubt they're working on the weekend.

Apology will be available in the cash shop.

I'm confused, what are they're apologizing for?

The patch notes appear to be the FULL patch notes that include all the new recipes. This has caused the MB on many servers to go nutso with mat prices.

Ah okay. Opps at them. Thanks

Who needs apology nowadays?

can anyone watching the fanfest tell me if they gave an apology to english players?

economy crashed 2 days earlier, boohoo.

The market is going to crash anyways, it is just either before maint or after maint. And again only a group of people have the gil to buy the stuffs. Prices in Tonberry are dropping back for a handful of mats.

The main issue was every other language's patch notes had the full recipe but not the Japanese patch notes. So in JP data centres where EN and JP players co-exist, the market were hoarded by EN players because they knew the recipe but the JP players did not, and they lose out.

I am so glad this happened. That way people can see that literally nothing will be different between releasing the patch notes in advance or waiting for the market spike on the first day.

At least this gives time to people to prepare and gather mats, instead of the first people on the server buying the marketboard and then profiting from it.
