Did you choose to ignore this?

It would seem that your White Knight job has an ability that allowed you to unequivocally infer that the show would be JP ONRY from the announcement above.

No, it's called common sense.

Common? You are just to used to being neglected and disrespected.

Sad part is you are convinced that it's how things should be.

haha, nice Jennestia!

I dont get why people thought they'd be English translators on the video, what what difference does it make if its on video or on the website the video is being played? Non what so ever, its on a different bit of pixels?

It would be slow and silly to translate every Q and A into 3 other languages each time, we'd of got about 1/5th the information we did lol. And on screen stuff? Bah to much hasstle to setup, no need. Twitter is fine! It was perfect. The only issue I had was they had to shorten answers, but fortunately the community at Pads posted them in chat for people to see who cannot view twitter at work.

Community strives!

Best part is, people complained about the "on air" translators on Twitter during the Vanafest because it was "slower than what the dev team were saying", even, iirc it was Bayo saying that they realize they're a bit slow in posting the info but it's not an easy thing to do.

[Jennestia]

You're really clueless.

Nah, because I've watched E3 streams before, none of them were translated into Japanese by the big western sites. Heck none of them were even streamed in Spanish given the huge Latino population in the US. None had subtitles, but they did have transcripts (much like SE did with Twitter) in a different language.

Again, it's common sense that the stream would be in Japanese, much like if Blizzard says they're going to stream something regarding WoW do you automatically assume it will be in Swedish? Or would it make more sense that their stream is in English given their Dev team is English..?
