Letter from the Producer Vi

[napalmninja]

No you're the one who doesn't get the point. Million of people can speak both Japanese and English. We don't need an official translation from SE and if you do need that you are basically calling everyone who can speak Japanese and English incompetent and stupid. Now sure, if I was saying something like players will turn into moogles with machine gun turrets mounted on their backs, then yes, you could dismiss that easily; but IN THE VIDEO it shows players crafting together.

I'm pretty sure that video was from before Tanaka stepped down.


Scuttlebutt says the details on public companies have changed since then.

So one of the key features was removed? Somehow I don't see that happening...

show me a offical posting or letter or interview from square staffers stating company's are this and this is what you can do with them. then we can get into the they scrapped this or added this.

the only things we knew was that group crafting was in some way shape or form connected to the totally undefined system and that company's might have been a collective of linkshells. now? no clue. not calling fowl on any one. Xeno i have no doubt that your friend is spot on with what there talking about. now the bigger question is if its still relevant

and your post and that link to the interview question once again proves, that he does not give ANY info about companies whatsoever, and in fact that it disproves that the video had anything to do with them at that

Actually he does give a bit of info, while very vague.

From what my buddies have told me, Companies are a group of people that are a bit more exclusive than linkshells. Exclusive in the sense that you have to devote yourself to a single company as appose to several like the current linkshell system. It will also be alot more involved rather than just a social deal. We anticipate a community home and possibly airship battles.

Your buddies gave you outdated information from the times of Tanaka, that Yoshida clearly stated as no more valid. Player companies will come after, and will be something entirely different from the "grand companies" that we'll be seeing relatively soon.

Also, no mention has ever been made anywhere about airship battles. The only snipped of detail is that player companies (in Tanaka's version) would probably get to own a (normal, seafaring) ship, and that could be related to possible PvP activities.

info yes, but about the video is the main thing i was pointing at, the fact that the video wasnt about companies but something totaly different.

and saying they will be involved, they are coming, we will give info soon
really isnt info in itself, which is what those interviews basicaly said

We have no clue what companies are and I never said we did. All I said was group crafting comes with companies. We'll have to wait and see whenever they post that page they are readying about companies to see any details.
