If you are going to do a Live Letter

[Alleo]

Nope. Trust me, I watch the LLs and I understand Japanese. He doesn't really go any deeper into detail. In fact, in some cases he actually ends up saying less about it than the slides do (he often has to be reminded of the info on the slides).

Again, all the important, pertinent info is on the slides.

And again, we DO get a more or less full translation of the LLs a little while later. Generally not more than a week. Which is perfectly fine, since none of the extra stuff is important.

And I have seen and read lifeletters where there was much more information about a system not on the slides. I do remember for example when he was talking once about the new housing changes and how it would affect players.

Then there was the issue with the Viera and Hrothgar hairstyles which were also not on slides (but I think that was on some event?). The reddit translation said that we wont get the other hairstyles but new ones for these two races and a poster here said that this is not true and Yoshida stated that we would get them for at least the Viera. Had we an official translation then these different fan translations would not be a thing.

You managed to completely miss the point. You took an extended conversation I was having with someone else and twisted it.

The point is, that we get all the important information we need during the LL in English on the slides. Is there more said? Obviously. Could that more that is said be interesting? Sure. It is necessary to know what they are saying Live?

No.

Why? Because while the extra conversation they do may be interesting, they don't say anything important that we need to know at that time. And we DO get official translations, we just get them later. Which is fine, since it's just banter anyway.

As I said, this thread is nothing but bored people making a stink about absolutely nothing.

So 21 pages now show enough ppl care imo

Not at all. It's the same few people posting a ton and then everyone else explaining why live translations are not reasonable and not necessary over and over again.

Thread length on any forum about any topic is NEVER relevant or correlative to number of people who care.

I wish I could inject this right into the OP.

People be apologizing for SE like their job is on the line.
Like, there is no way this small indi dev company could organize something so their non JP people that they invite to their LLs are not left out. No. Way.

Maybe they should hire that reddit guy, seems to be some sort of magician.

Nothing said that I haven't been following this thread. I have just chosen not to reply to the assumptions about what I was trying to get at, the ignorant, the ones picking fights, the snobs and conspiracy theorists - until I took the bait on your post.

And, by the way, I don't appreciate being called a "baby" for my opinions. I wasn't disrespectful to you here, and called out one person who was more rude than you have been. Toxic.

I don't mind the actual stream not being translated but I would like a simple text summary of the live letter posted somewhere in multiple languages so we can all at least get an idea of what was discussed.

It is kind of weird that they still haven't posted anything yet, 5 days after the letter. >x>()
Maybe the second half is taking longer to translate? (Seeing as the first half was 99% on the slides.)

You have been here since 2013 and 5 days is bothering you? Did you buy this account or just forget the past several years?

Dang, I read that original translation and thought I wouldn't be getting my bought hairstyles on Viera, so I switched back to Miqo'te. I'd still be Viera if I knew that they were going to release those hairstyles eventually for them XD

Maybe I'll switch back when they release those hairstyles for Viera. R. I. P $14 EU (Which is $24 NZD T^T)

It doesn't bother me, I watch the Letter live and read the Reddit discord's translations.
I just thought it was strange that they haven't released any translations of it yet, given that most of the information was already on slides.
Don't know what me being here since 2013 has to do with anything but alright, keep flexin'... >3>
