Thoughts on the new Letter from the Producer? (May 20)

[Seif]

I'll paraphase the whole letter:

Hello again, all fans of FINAL FANTASY XIV!

Please keep beta testing our game. Here are some things to keep you from quitting and playing something thats actually worth it.

*** vague changes ***


That is all
-Yoshi

Lol no wonder they sound so jovial as people are willing to do free playtesting of half-assed ideas for free and for months.

As for the changes I don't think we should be overly optimistic/pessimistic before we see any of it in the game. Let's comment on it when there's something to comment about. So far these letters have been followed through by a whole lot of nothing so the proof will be in the pudding WHEN WE SEE IT!

hey lookie! Someone is trying very very hard to spin good news towards utter negativity!

How utterly unsurprising. I'm very curious to see at what straws they'll grasp next time

Wow congrats on zero ability to read that text then! =D

Anyway isn't it more than a bit ironic that when he tries to communicate something clearly with caps and bold font, people are just as confused as always?

I'd rather not guess anything based on that and just wait to see what happens and what doesn't happen in summer.

To be fair, it could, once again, be a problem with the translation as the Japanese language is full of subtlety and nuance. You can't blame the whole thing on Yoshi-P being that his native language isn't English and what may be vague in the NA letter, may not be vague in the JP letter.
