Here are all my screencaps from the Letter From the Producer Live

As usual, for those that missed the Letter from the Producer Live, while you wait for the recording, I took 179 screencaps for you to enjoy (I actually took a lot more, but I discarred the overly blurred ones, Yoshi-P loves to move that camera around).

You can find them all here. (they're in the gallery at the bottom of the post, artwork first) :D

The limsa housing area and the ferry port look so lovely...

Edit: here's the full recording thanks to Technyze

Thanks for the screencaps!

Bump. Awesome screenshots. :)

Cheers mate, not all of us could be there for the live letter.

Thanks for taking the time to organise that for us.

Thanks, these are great!! Loving that sunset. Beach party anyone? :)

I'm just kind of sad the screencaps of the reproduction of the opening of FFIV were a bit blurry, but even more so that I couldn't somehow record the music they put on it. I was like *_*

Just curious if anyone knows, what are the screen caps referring to windows 8?? Does it play best on it??

They're having a cross-promotion collaboration with Windows 8 during an event in Japan. Nothing big for us.

Anyone know if they are doing what they did with the last live letter and not releasing a subtitled version? If they are not Subbing the vid, when/where can i view it?

From what they wrote earlier, I doubt they're subbing it, but I may be wrong. They'll just provide an updated translation.

Ah, they showed newer areas!? D: I wish I could have been up at 4am -.-;; But that just wasn't happening. I'm sorry.

EDIT: Ahhhh yes. ): Limsa Lominsa housing area is beautiful. My heart is set.

ok to yoink these for our personal use?

answer to Q36 is fail.

Agreed. So agreed. It's not even fair. I was so looking forward to that. I could have sworn in 1.0 that they said in "2.0" That you would actually ride the airship.

Can someone explain to me what's going with the whole Windows 8 + ARR thing I see in the screen captures there...? What are they talking about? Compatibility? Some special promotion?

EDIT: ._.; Sorry. Just read it there. Nevermind this post.

I'd rather them focus in building a great world seen from the ground than wasting a ton of development resources to build one that will look great from the air 10 times and then will make us go afk during the ride.

Uploaded the live letter for anyone who missed it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J49cdZSpoTE (Processing atm, should be up within a hour or two)

Certainly not. Lovely article btw! Love the screen caps of the FC crests. Going to post them on my LS/FC forums to discuss over ^^

Go right ahead :D

By the way, I have another small update that I missed earlier.

If you're wondering about the identity of the voice actress in this picture, i did some research.

http://cdn2.dualshockers.com/wp-cont...eencap-151.jpg

She's the extremely popular Rie Tanaka that originally lent her vocal cords to one of the Female Miqo'te voices in 1.0. You've probably heard her before in a multitude of anime series like Gundam Seed, Air Gear, Hayate no Gotoku and many others (and most of them are protagonist roles). Looking at this picture showing a rather thick script for A Realm Reborn...

http://cdn2.dualshockers.com/wp-cont...eencap-152.jpg

we can see her autograph on the top right, with the character name hidden by tape, so we can pretty much guess that she'll play a major role in the new game.

Considering that she's one of the most popular voices in Japanese animation, SE isn't really skimping on the voice acting budget. Wish I could identify the other autographs...

that is part of having a great world having things that would be in the world, now you have useless airships and now a train that wont do anything thats a waste of time. you could just teleport yourself to a crystal like 1.0 not like their removing it.

showing us how the not trying to make that "next gen mmo" they keep talking about. there on try #2 and failing again lol. they should of just made star gates.

Having those elements there is a good flavor point, and they don't take too many development resources. On the other hand making a whole world that can be visualized from above does.

It's that simple.

As a Minnesotan, they are wearing the garb of my people.

They forgot Kamishiro Yayoi (Hakaima Sadamitsu), Mizuhara Koyomi (Azumanga Daioh) and Kuki Ageha (Maji de watashi ni koi shinasai!), but yeah. =P

Considering they got Otsuka Akio (Solid Snake) to play Gaius, my guess is she'll play Y'shtola.

This was posted by Bayohne over twitter, if anyone's wondering :D

I think them showing off West Thanalan and East La Noscea was a treat! And of course the castrums they showed off LOL. The empire base off the cliff near the ferry docks as well was something i've been obsessing over lately.

Thanks for the Link.

The changes to Materia are a relief given the spirit bond system ;D

is that Denmo? O.o http://cdn.dualshockers.com/wp-conte...reencap-97.jpg

Even after all this time people still don't know that's really FF6?

Anyone else notice that the pictures of the magitek riders is basically the intro to final fantasy 6 redone with ffxiv models?
