Where'd you go, SE?

They are probably in shock after analyzing the P2P population numbers, and trying to figure out how they are going to sell this to shareholders. ;P

The server on Wutai really has not changed that much. That is saying that usually on average the month before P2P started there were only about 300-400 on the server...that is counting all the afk people as well. It still is around low to mid 300's..../sigh... Server transfer/merge <Can I have it?>

They are talking; not too much on important stuff but they are responding; at least that is for JP side

Too bad Reinheart isn't a dev/mod here; seems anymore the only way we hear about Yoshi-P's updates is through his translations from the JP forums, and then a dev may or may not chime in and say "Oh ya, we were working on a translation for that, but looks like you beat us to the punch!"

[Riv]

They're trying to decide whether to keep the game on life support or just cut their losses.

[Reabs]

OMG The sky is falling no reps have said anything about 1.20b or 1.21 in my language in *checks dev trackers*...-_-...3 days really guys you freak out after 3 days :/.

Well here's a tidbit for 1.21...The next 2 dungeons are in Thanalan & Coerthas.

It is really disappointing how the JP side is getting lots more responses , also no waste of posts like "TEE HEE AM I UR FAV REP NAO!>!?!? <3333333" really?...when I am checking the dev tracker and see a new post this is honestly the last thing I could care about.

Seems like we get more into from Reinheart then the actual NA reps. I'm sure though the NA reps can't control what they are and are not allowed to post..but still, its like as if the devs choose to respond much more to the JP side.

[elreed]

i know they will put something about jobs (more videos or lore) or at least a letter

maybe they are getting a long post from YoshiP and getting it translated through translation team to post up in next couple of day or something

I have a feeling they are too!

I think Square Enix is planning there next post VEARY carefully. With all the setbacks and the outcry and backlash they've had if there next move isn't some where between great & ground breaking, a few people are in lined to get fired.

They are probably in shock after analyzing the P2P population numbers, and trying to figure out how they are going to sell this to shareholders. ;P

I think Lurex has a great point. I can't recall the official numbers, but Final Fantasy 14 sold about 60,000 copies. And before they charged for the game the active player base was about 28,000 - 30,000. Now with people having to play the game, I'll be nice estimate that Square Enix has about 5,400 to MAYBE 6,000 people left.

Even with Mr. Yoshida and Devs posting on the Japanese forms, I think something more official needs to be posted on the Load Stone. It's nice to see that things are being posted to the Japanese forms, and images of what's coming is great. But this also needs to offaly happen on the English forms WITH OUT having the player base translating the posts into English.

There was another post on the forms titled "This is how FFXIV should have launched." http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-have-launched. And I happen to agree with them.

Yes we've had some good updates, but the game JUST got to where it should have been at launched, and the game isn't adding up to the competitions. Yes I know that the almighty vr 2.0 is coming late this year, if it comes out on time. Now I know some people that are left will defend Square Enix, but the major shareholders have to ask the major question, what's the Return on Investment really going to be, and what's the loss going to be if they write the game off.

Seems like we get more into from Reinheart then the actual NA reps.

Know the funny part? What if because of this fact alone they're slower with translations for certain things? If you notice, when something very important needs to be posted on all regions it's posted at once on all regions.

Longer posts by Yoshida they tend to verify the info (incase it changes, as that's a possibility) and a more accurate translation across the regions.
