Fernehalwes didn't say he had a meeting, he said he had a sit-down. Totally different.

How about, I had a sit-down meeting?

But seriously, Yoshi-P is a very cool director/producer in that, beyond meetings (which we do have a lot of), his door is always open to each and every member of the dev team. If something comes up, he encourages us to let him know, which is why when we saw this post about the credits, we decided to mention it (albeit while discussing other, more important issues like Miqo'te swimsuits ).

Too right, there isn't a more important issue in the game then the Miquo'te swimsuits, get it wrong and the game is doomed

Seriously, to the dev team I appreciate all you guys are doing.

Hehe, neat. I like how open you guys are about the dev process, it's very refreshing to hear.

Are you guys responsible for translating and delivering to the JPN dev team the input/feedback/ideas you guys gather from the English forums, too?

Speaking of miqo'te swimsuits, I have a question: Will Yoshi-P consider holding design contests for each seasonal event? Like, for Summer's event in 2012, we would have a contest in the next few months for various designs of outfits to be created for that event.

Example: Square Enix announces "Themed Costume Design Contest" this month for implementation in Summer 2012. Submitters would provide design sketches (and maybe full character design sheets) of the outfit being submitted. Original designs inspired by Final Fantasy series would be given preference (but are not limited to just FF inspirations).

So let's say someone submits a much more interesting swimsuit set that looks far more aesthetically pleasing than the current string bikini that's being implemented today. Like, race-specific swimsuits (similar to RSE from XI).

Ideas, ideas, ideas. I love sketching ideas! :3
