My favorite part of the live letter

Wada joined Yoshi and the team and was quite relaxed.

Yoshi: you just took it ??
Wada: yeah I’m the president...

It's good to be king lmao

Wada actually plays ff14 too :-)

that casting animation is bad ass

They make it sound like " Housing" will be Non-instanced o.o.

Q: Will players be able to go to new areas such as Sharlayan, Ala Mhigo, Garlean Empire, and Ishgard? Also, will there be new areas introduced?

A: As far as Ala Mhigo and Ishgard goes, they won't be available immediately at launch. All the areas will be revamped in ARR so you can consider all the areas "new." You'll see new settlements, monsters, and dungeons. Also, the dungeons will be three times the size that they are now. If we introduce Ishgard and make further changes to the current nations, it will take another year to launch the game... Furthermore, Ishgard and Ala Mhigo areas will be introduced in order. Stay tuned!

The one highlighted in red, Appears to be in ARR at Launch. Just Ala Mhigo and Ishgard will not.

They only mention those two " Not" being at launch. Sharlayan was not mentioned in the "not" part of it.

Neither was the Garlean Empire. My impression was that they mentioned those because they WILL be in the game eventually, just not at launch.

Well the impression I got from that was:

If Sharlayan, was part of that list, they would have said " Those three areas won't be immediately available at Launch". But perhaps Sharlayan will either be at launch or the First patch after ARR Launch. That's my speculation on it anyways :p.

Maybe the speaker just forgot they asked about Sharlayan

Lack of acknowledgement of absences is not confirmation. For example, when asked the question "Do you like fish or chicken?" and you answer "I like chicken", you cannot infer that they do not like fish. Its one of the first things you learn in a logic class.

The way he " Answered" the question, is what i'm referring to, and don't start attacking my intelligence thanks

I looked at Reinheart's translations, and it looks like those weren't mentioned because the speaker didn't read the full question. The speaker only said Ishgard and Ala Mhigo, so that was all Yoshi-P talked about.

Meh, well it doesn't matter every zone is considered new, because they are all revamped, so its like all those zones will be entirely new. =)

Yeah, but on the note of the differences between what our forum Mod put up and what was actually said in the letter, some of them make me worry.

And I'm telling you it doesn't matter how he answered the question when written on paper, you cannot infer things from lack of acknowledgement. Unless there are subtexts that can only be known when hearing their voice or specifically mentioned, the only thing you know is what is said, that Ishgard and Ala Mhigo will not be available at launch.

As for thinking I'm attacking your intelligence, if you are blatantly ignoring logic, then I will point it out. It has nothing to do with your intelligence. Intelligent people can ignore whatever they want, they will just be logically unsound.

It is what it is, people make mistakes, even you do. Logical people, can make not to logical mistakes. but I don't go around telling people that " Its one of the first things you learn in a logic class."

I'm simply stating a fact that it is one of the first things you learn in a logic class. No subtext, just a statement. I didn't mean an offense by it. And I'm not saying you are wrong, you just don't know if you are right. I rather enjoy speculation, but I'd prefer it be labeled as speculation from the get-go.
