When are we getting the answers to the Fanfest questions answered by Kate Cwynar?

[Swordsman]

What were the questions and what did they say about it? I'm out of the loop.

I believe it pertains to this thread that was created a while ago: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...tion-Questions

Title: "Ask English Localization Lead Kate Cwynar Lore & Localization Questions"

But like some other people have already said, we're probably never getting those answers. Forum members asked some pretty difficult questions, such as questions about plot holes, questions regarding clarification over story elements that weren't explained very well by the EW MSQ, etc. Judging how unprepared Yoshi P was to answer questions about the EW MSQ in the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LXVIII back in February 2022, I don't think SE is going to even attempt to answer the questions from the thread. Even if they did go back and try to answer questions they would probably just cherry-pick and field the easier questions and call it a day, which will look bad to the players.

That's the thing though. If you watched the stream, Kate had an entire PowerPoint presentation prepared to answer several questions that were asked in that thread you linked. However because Koji went off on a tangent about 1.0 development for 58 minutes, Kate had to rush through and she answered maybe 3 questions. But she said that she had answers for many more questions that were asked and that she would post them to the forum within about a week or two after coming back from Vegas. Remember the presentation was part of the localization team panel so should have been at least 20ish minutes but we only got a fraction of it.

Let's not gobble up the PR tactics too hastily, citizen. "We're out of time" is usually just code for "we don't have it ready." If this presentation truly existed, we would see it posted somewhere as they said they would.
