Translations: German > English

[Catapult]

The two most recent posts simply concern Sasu's ability to work and translate and when the German community can expect Yoshi-P's updates translated. Rather than translate, I'll summarize.

The community is concerned that many of Yoshi-Ps posts don't get translated into German at all, unlike with French and English. Sasu explains that she has no knowledge of Japanese and is thus dependant on the translators (presumably unlike Bay). She assures people she's doing everything she can and a few more translations are already on their way.

There was also the concept of havving a collection thread for all of Yoshi-P's translated comments - an idea that Sasu has also thought about. Sounds like what they really want is a German equivilant of Reinheart's thread.

If I knew where the original thread is I would say words of Support. Keep working hard Sasu!

A few more posts, but everything was translations of Yoshi-P's posts, which Bay has already given us an official translation of in each case. I'm not about to break my brain on the length there...

Since I've just moved cities in real life, I'll keep this quick. In the last few days, there were a bunch of posts that were translations of Yoshi-P's stuff, plus this:

Ich habe mit den Entwicklern gesprochen und folgende Infos für euch herausgekitzelt: pro Gegenstand könnt ihr bis zu 5 Materia hinzufügen. Mit Materia modifizierte Ausrüstungsgegenstände können in bis zu 7 Slots ausgestattet werden. Aber letzteres wisst ihr ja schon.

Allerdings haben sie mich auch wissen lassen, dass das noch nicht in Stein gemeißelt ist, die Anzahl kann sich noch ändern.

I've spoken to the devs and tickled the following details out of them: You can attach up to 5 materia to each item. You can use materia-modified equipment in up to 7 slots. But that's what you already know.

They have however also let me know that that is not yet set in stone. The number can still change.

Damn, that is a lot of materia per item!

How they set up the success rate, we might see up to 3 materia slotted as Rare and very very very rare, four and five materia slotted gear.

Still, 3 materia is a lot. Why don't they just give gear sockets like WoW instead of giving you this random chance of connecting a materia in which your gear can actually explode? Kinda confusing, but guess I reserve judgement until implemented.

Because in this game Crafting/Gathering is a much larger aspect than in cookie cutter MMOs like WoW, Rift, etc. The purpose, it seems to me, is for crafter & gatherer inclusion. It provides a new challenge for them to get this uber HQ gear piece with five materie slots. It will take time, patiece, and some gil, so I think the real purpose is for their enjoyment,

Also, one piece of materia is gauranteed success, so it's not all bad.
