[dev blog] From LA With Love

[Myranda]

Hello everyone! Pinurabi here.

As you will have guessed from the title of this post, I'm writing from sunny LA, far away from the ironfisted rule of Fernehalwes.

What's that, you say? Wasn't I supposed to be locked up in a utility closet, under constant guard by tonberry turnkeys? Well, that's precisely what Fernehalwes thought until he discovered, to his woe, that someone had taken his place on the plane to LA. I am so smart! S-M-R-T! Who's King of the Blog now, you pompous ahriman!?

But back to the present! Yoshi-P has embarked on a media tour, accompanied by a band of loyal retainers. Today we sat down with our comrades at Square Enix North America, and ironed out the finer details of the event. Here's a snapshot taken at one of our many meetings:



Next is a photo of (some of) our North American and Japanese Community & Services team members. Such a photogenic bunch! Second from the left, Bayohne looks every bit the door-to-door salesman. Who’s your buddy, eh?



After the first set of meetings had wound down, I went on a self-guided tour of the LA office, and—

Duuude! Check out this radical A Realm Reborn elevator door art! We wants it for Square Enix headquarterses in Japanses!



But alas, I must away—'tis time for yet another meeting! On the morrow we are off to San Francisco, our first leg on the media tour. We'll do our best to keep everyone posted on late-breaking developments via both the forums and the blog, so stay tuned!

Not really a lot of new info going on here if we're honest, but how come only Bayohne is introduced in the group photo???? Who is everyone else in the lineup? I'm assuming that's Rukkirii second from right, but I don't know on the rest.

[Edit!] We have full IDs on everyone in the photo now!
Left to right is: Camate, Bayhone, Okipuit, Rukkirii and Triairy
(thanks Delsus for the first 4 and Okipuit himself for IDing Triairy in the Media Tour thread, where I guess a similar discussion has been going on) [/edit]

Also, do I spy one of these unique accessories??

Lemme help you, from the left Camate, Bayhone, Okipuit, Rukkiri and the last one I'm not sure.

Also what will Fern do when he realises his ticket was stolen, I fear he will set up a lunar transmitter and make the moon fall on us in his madness.

Process of elimination would dictate that's Pinurabi.

I'll be stickin' with Rukkirii when the zombies attack. She looks to be the most prepared.

That blonde...

[Eekiki]

That blonde...

That's better than blonde. That's silver.

[n3wman918]

That's better than blonde. That's silver.

I stand corrected!

[Lady]

That's better than blonde. That's silver.

I would dare to say it could be an ash blond... but I like it better thinking its silver.

Look what's become of us.

Anytime they post a picture of Foxclon, the thread becomes a borderline creepy Foxclon appreciation thread.

Anytime they post a picture of Rukkirii, the same thing happens.

What is it about the silver-haired community reps?

[Serdapi]

Forget about Rukkirii.

Dat button down polo and smile as big as a Marbol.
