A Realm Reborn Media Tour 2013

I think Camate is a pretty cool guy. Eh saves snurbles and doesnt afraid of anything.

[Vilhem]

the whole Foxclon thing seemed more kind of fun...he even "bowed in" with his own response. Can't exactly say the same for this creepy Rukki worshipping o_O

She's a public figure and her job is to deal with us anyway so I'd reckon she ignores it and is ambivalent about that kind of thing.

I took them to In-N-Out the moment they were finished checking into their hotel, don't you worry.

Damn I wish I were just a week quicker. I could be out there right now meeting you guys! That would be so cool.

As you may have read in the last Letter from the Producer, the global media tour will be kicking off soon! While Yoshi-P is taking this opportunity to introduce A Realm Reborn to the world, we would also like to take some time out to post some "inside" news just for our most hardcore fans... YOU!

The team has arrived safely in the US and is currently gathering at the Square Enix office in Los Angeles for lots of prep and meetings.

Prior to hopping on the plane, Square Enix Japan's resident celebrity Foxclon snapped this picture in the Narita Airport lounge. But wait... what's Yoshi-P running on his laptop? A picture? A video? It's actually Yoshi-P playing A Realm Reborn! Turns out he's running the latest data checks on the Development Team's server.

We'll do our best to drop some more shots of Yoshi-P and updates while he's here and during the trip, as long as the jet lag hasn’t hit him too hard!

Looks like he is having a good time with ARR since he wished he had time to play Diablo 3.

What's most impressive about this photo to me is that he's playing the ARR beta over the wi-fi network at an airport.

Sounds like their network infrastructure is solid.

On a Vaio laptop, no less. Bodes well for how it'll run on my beast of a desktop.

They could have a portable server... Or he has all the server software installed on his laptop and is just testing the system.

Oh well, I guess it's an issue if interpretation then. :/ My comments were and are intended to have the same "cute but fun/not serious" appeal, so, no harrassing and stalking intended.
I can't say how the others intended their comments. Just my opinion. :x
I want to apology to Rukirii if it made her feel uncomfortable! I don't think anybody wanted that.

Anyways, back to the topic, hoping for some more tour info!

For shame. Kentucky is the only place with a full service dining train. \o.o/

Well, I meant immediately within the area of KY I live in. That always has looked interesting to me though. Been wanting to check it out for quite a while now.

I've been here the whole time ._.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of your posts. Had no idea you were from KY though. XD; I'm just a bit surprised since everyone I bump into around here who has any interest in FFXIV seems to be waiting on PS3 release.

But when you consider that a thread featuring people drooling over Foxclon was allowed (almost encouraged), but a similar thread about Rukkirii was deleted outright, I think that speaks volumes on how she feels about the "adoration".

Either that or it's just another case of good ol' American political correctness ruining everyone's fun.

Bolded, maybe. To be honest I'm surprised that the Foxclon thread wasn't deleted, a lot of the comments there seemed to go a bit too far. Maybe that's just me, though.

In any case, I don't think there's anything wrong with saying someone is beautiful. Ruki certainly is. I just wish more people could learn boundaries when it comes to stuff like that. A lot of times when someone says that, meaning it as a compliment and nothing more, people get weird looks. Understandable given how many creepers are out there I suppose, but still.

Is Yoshi going to visit Gamespot and IGN to promote ARR? Since they both located in San Francisco?
