Translations (JP to English)

[Physic]

i don't really get why they're talking about this part in the first place though.
wasn't this already talked about at some point? i feel like the beginning so far is all old news.

basically he is responding to the gatherer post in jp that is saying why is gatherer getting no content. Apparently he is starting off by focusing on why they wont get main story content, and will probably go into more specifics as to other content later

Ran that post about gatherers in Google translate and man does it hurt my head. Gonna wait for Rein's translation or the official one. XD

I was kind of reading the posts after his though and the reactions to it seem positive though.

Honestly I think in terms of "Story" content issue is kinda silly since he's pretty much forgetting that Adventurers have the ability of the Echo so in a sense one could see the journey the the eyes of another and if people have noticed when in an echo you pretty much have the ability to interact with those around you and they react to you as a person, so I don't see why they wouldn't just be able to have it where the Echo allows one to see the plot through a different discipline.

It's something to aim for, with concrete rewards to go with it.

It's justification. There's no real reason behind why Gatherer classes will get nothing more than sidequests (Sidequests don't get cutscenes and typically have gil rewards.) even if it has something vaguely to do with the OMG Imperials. It just goes against his personal philosphy for how the game should be. If we don't like it we can play something else. Of course, we will get thrown a bone every once in a while. But I don't expect gathering for housing to be anything more special than gathering for anything else. I find his reluctance to implement dungeons accessible to DoL baffling. o.O How is a DoL in a dungeon distinct from any another class in a dungeon? Whatever man.

I wouldn't mind clicking a "!" over an NPCs head and getting a gatherer exclusive quest tho. But I don't expect these to be high level and I don't expect the rewards to be anything other than some low level culottes I can't use.

In my wildest dreams, I would like to visit a Mine. You know, an actual mine that The Uldah Miner's guild keep talking about...?

But... *sigh*

You do know they said for now this is the case and going to change, right? They're devoting too many resources to more important matters and even stated they'll be doing more cutscene/VA driven missions/quests down the line.

What Yoshida does not understand is the longer you have to wait for something the more likely it is to fall below expectations.

Oh sure, if Gatherer's do get what some people on this forum has been suggesting (Special transport (such as boats for fishers), helper pets, Access to mines and other exclusive maps, endgame gear and maybe even, more than two leves per town) That would be awesome.

From what I can see from this letter, nothing so fun is in the works. I'll feel lucky if Gatherer's go back to getting guildquests with cutscenes.
