Is the Official 3rd Live Letter Translation Out Yet?

I tried the search function, but I can't find it, so I guess it's not out yet.

While I know that Subligar Man :D already made a translation of the script (thank you!), I'd prefer to watch the video with subtitles (haven't read it so far).

It's kind of weird for me that it takes that long, to be honest. It's been how many days now? I totally understand that an -official- translation needs more time so you can iron out errors, but still. Though, I'm not complaining... ...much. :D lol


/go Yoshi!

Oh Gods my eyes.

On topic: no. It took about a month last time so I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

maybe you could not write in all orange

It'll be out when the "early next week (this week) website update" is out.

By burning out what remains of my functioning retina well alrighty then

It's funny because they explicitly said it'd be out quicker this time. :'D Just think how long we'll have to wait for an official translation of Yoshida's 1.xx sendoff live letter in November :'D

(voidsent I love you guys anyways <3)

2.0 Beta will be out by then and we probably won't even care.

not a word for word translation, but it'll do.

Who knows how long it took for them to release this on youtube but I'm sure it'll be the same amount of time. :rolleyes:

Its funny how fansub anime groups release a translated movie overnight/anime episode or within like half a day...these by non professional students/kids without much free time lol...

Didn't take long at all.

Fansub groups are also largely inaccurate and sometimes not even translating what you're watching. Look at any of the recent animes, if you understand Japanese you'd know that's not the best example to use ;p

And most of the translation is poorly made.

Your typical anime episode got about as much words as Yoshida talking for 5 minutes. This is 90 minutes -talk- session. There is even more text than in an average full lenght movie. Even if you remove the couple parts of blank; it's over 60 minutes of non stop talking.

Buuuump. I want it too~

That took them a week to translate. We're nearing two weeks since the Live Producer's letter...

Not to mention, they need to work on localization rather than straight translation, ask the dev staff on certain clarifications because japanese is a language that relies a lot on context and they need to translate to 3 different languages in a process that does not run in full synch and they won't release one language before the other (gods, going JP->GR must be awful)

Well, they do have people hired to do this job. I understand that they can't get it out the day after, but we're nearing two weeks now and by the time they finally get it done, most people won't care.

i'd even be happy with just the Japanese version out. I wasnt about to get up at 4am-ish to watch this but i would like to check it out. i've gone over the Bayhone post about the Q&A but i want to see the pics.

There is about 30 minutes of no gameplay and no concept art you can skip over, but it shows a lot of features in action (only previously talked about), and shows more of the awesome Grid like zone.

Cant understand anything they said but definitely still worth watching.

Our great subligar king Reinheart has provided some translations of what is said: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l=1#post826268

kewl, thanks again, i'm watching it as i type (sorta). i just got to the crafting part. i loved that special talk session and even in the gameplay in this vid it dosent look near as bad (at 480 res) than that new trailer. i'm not worried about the graphics, i know it will look different by the time we are able to get into the beta. that will be a time to be concerned if things arent starting to look a bit less "plastic".

It's out.

Retail will be a big update for us it's "Everything!" :p

They talk about that you will be able to enter ishgard and al mhigo right with the first expansion?

Here

so there will be still a non destroyed ishgard city?

I'm guessing you're referring to a concept art that said 'Ishgard destroyed' while in fact it is only -an- 'Ishgardian fort' which has been destroyed. Yoshida said it was a translation error.

It wasn't a translation error, it was misinterpreted.

The funny thing is, I actually saw a screenshot with the line 'Ishgard destroyed' right under it.
Who translated it is irrelevant. But then again, I must be wrong, as you are always right. Oh, well. My bad.

so the translation was misinterpreted and was in error?

From the original media pack during E3 it was misinterpreted because people thought it referred to Ishgard as a fortress rather than castle (the city). but then they clarified it was a fortress (different locale) and not the actual city of ishgard.

i see, so you are just arguing about the semantics of translation error/misinterpretation. i just thought a translation error was a misinterpretation.

Just watched the video...it was really nice! The game play looks great and the graphics too :) I hope this game gives me the same feeling FFXI did back in the day...:o

Sure it will, until you see 100x detail and hit your space bar breaking the SE barrier, everything turns to double rainbows and raining gold.

I dont want another FFXI, thats why FFXI is still around.

I don't want another FFXI either. :) I just want to have as much fun as I did in FFXI in ARR. I meant like..if I was to say "I hope I have as much fun playing XIV as I did in when I first played FF6 (or any game I enjoyed a LOTTT)" if that makes sense lol >.<

Didn't notice the first couple times I watched this vid but they have the new battle BGM running when they switch to caster to show how the spell cast looks (was too concentrated on translation i guess... on first time ww)
