A local announcement from SE to remind people the dangers of Companion App....

This is hilarious!

That is hilarious. I love the cartoony sound effects. Could someone tell me what the sign that Alpha holds up says?

Edit: It looks like it says kikeso. But the font makes it hard to match up to my katakana book. xD Also even if it does say that I have no idea what it means.

I dunno what word it is, but I'd assume that, based on the message it's trying to pass on, it's basically a way to say "No" or "Don't do this." He only holds it up after they do the wrong bad thing.

I dunno but I want to see it now pop up over dragoons when they die in a dungeon or raid, haha.

Does Japan have the companion app yet? I thought it was being released with 4.3 but it didn't show, then again, it has been "coming soon" since 2.x.

I typed already, but for some reason my phone changed it to 'yet'.

PS. No editing posts on phones.

Kiken - danger

Actually it's warning people of the dangers of being distracted due to too cell phone use. Albeit in a humorous way.

Technically with the way 4.3 is structured, that statement means that the companion app can drop any time before 4.4. Ultimate, pagos, and Heaven on High are all 4.3 but aren't out either.

I give this my 100% Chocobo Approval Stamp

Thanks. At least I was mostly right. xD

Before I realised what the Japanese said, I thought Alpha was going to mug him for his phone. Cute little advert.

For anyone interested, it's a collaboration between Shinjuku Police Station and SE warning about the dangers of using your phone in the middle of activities. Each skit is basically a variant of "it's extremely dangerous to use your phone while (walking through town/ driving/ in class or at work.)"

I think it's a sign I've been playing too long when my first thought was why is he wearing Foestriker gear in Coerthas

Okay that was legit amazing.

Well this is a real common issue when it comes to phones these days.

Still leave it to Japan to make something this serious a comedy to teach people the dangers of being distracted by the phone during important moments regarding safety and personal life.

I hope to Menphina that we can get this translated into English and have this play on adverts in the UK. I think it'd be a fun little skit that would actually work to teach people the dangerous of mobile phone use around and about, and may actually help improve safety.

I really hope this airs in America

Translations:
the Chocobo's sign says "Dangerous!"
0:00: "Shinjyuku (A district in Tokyo) Police station x SE.
0:36: "Texting while walking in town is extremely dangerous".
1:07: "Texting while driving your bike, car and magitek armor is extremely dangerous".
1:40: "Texting during meetings (at work), lessons (at school) and boss battles is extremely dangerous.
2:08: "Let's stop texting while walking"

LMFAO. That Titan scene is so accurate.



P.S. Thank you for the translations, Rhykin!
