1 Year Anniversary - Letter from the Producer on YouTube Live

[AdvancedWind]

Wait...

is it 5 AM or 5 PM?

I think they are tip toeing around the issue because if they flat out said "no it won't be coming ever" many players including me would just give up hope and leave to find other games.

It would be funny if they keep doing that Forever!!! so you play endlessly while waiting for an AH that will never come!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Plan Success Yoshi! *high five*~

*Zones into the Wards*

I think Yoshi is going to be droping some major news..I would have never guessed he would be doing the Letter from the Producer LIVE !!!!!!!!!!

[Konachibi]

I hope in the background there's some of the dev team stumbling around the office drunk from celebrating a 1 year anniversary. That'd certainly lighten the mood a bit

Considering there wasn't a patch to add the GC event we're having at the moment it'd be fair to say it was either included in the Curse Of Dalamund patch, OR was already inside the games installation files upon release, meaning it had been planned all along.

It's hard to say exactly how much of what's been happening was planned from the start, it's like one of those giant conspiracy theories.

Still, Yoshi doing a public Q&A is serious stuff, he wouldn't be doing it if he didn't believe the game could be a success.

The way the events have unfolded, it certainly is obvious that this was the plan from the start. It's really too bad it delayed so slightly. It would have been pretty amazing to have this all roll out on Sept. 30.

The public Q&A actually has me dumbfounded. SE in the past has always kept this kind of session behind closed doors. Perhaps the person was right who stated that SE needed this knock-down of it its major flag-ship series in order to rise above and truly design a real Final Fantasy once again. I for one am glad I continue to stick around.

Ooh am looking forward to the broadcast, even if I have to stay up.

I'll wait till they do a text summary in English.

Same here because I want to get my chocobo first ^_^

Wait...

is it 5 AM or 5 PM?

Considering 5PM PDT is like 3AM JPT probably AM

[Holland]

Well... We'll have to learn to take his words on letters more to the literal sense xD

He did say he was planning to make the letter more 'livelier' than others =p

[Eekiki]

I am pretty sure Yoshi will have an translator with him for the interview prolly more than one

At the dev panels at FanFest, translation was handled by Bayohne and Dan from Del Taco. So I'd say you're probably right.
