Translations (JP to English)

Why do I need to....

"Western playerbase" is a generalization. I don't mean to say that every single individual in this large hive mind acts and thinks the exact same way. Only the general population.

You shouldn't even say that, because the truth is you have no clue what the 'general population' thinks about DoL. I certainly know lots of western players who do DoL; and more importantly, if it were improved in various ways, many more would be interested.

The rest of your stuff I agree with tho!

Jinko seems to think that anything gathering related is a waste of time when there's "better things to do". So as well as the development focusing solely on combat and perhaps economy, Yoshida can't come out and even talk about anything else without us starting to bitch about misplaced effort.

You really shouldn't be telling anyone what I think, I've invested more time in my fishing class than you have in all of yours.

You really shouldn't be telling anyone what I think, I've invested more time in my fishing class than you have in all of yours.

Yet you can't even give Yoshida one post to talk about the class you seem to play without it being a waste of time? Classy.

it seems the general consensus here is that the 2.0 development was sacrificed for Yoshida to make this post.

[Teakwood]

In a theoretical world where we got a post from Yoshida saying, for example, "suck it up, NA players, UI modifications aren't important to us anymore, I'm the producer, deal with it" (juuuust an example, I don't want this to derail into a discussion of UI mods, I just couldn't think of anything in specific the NA community is interested in that the JP community is not as interested in)... I think we'd see millions of angry forum threads complaining about it and it'd do a lot of damage to a game that needs as much good PR as possible.

Not a plausible solution!

Please refrain from directly insulting people and inflammatory comments in this thread. It's been running for a long time now and it'd be a shame for a mod to shut it down.

Hi Reinheart,

Thank you! again for your tireless efforts to finish translating the latest Yoshida Compendium.

It was a good post to address those dedicated Gatherers who wanted more information.

In the end, I agree with Yoshida-san's decision, just as he formally let people know that FF XIV is no longer focused on Guildleves, so it is that Gatherers will unfortunately have to level a Battle Class to progress for the main Storyline.

I *do* like the new information he talked about, such as having Gatherers find custom materials for customizing your Housing / Estates, and being able to grow your own Garden of stuff like Gysahl Greens and raising your own Baby Chocobos.

Having Gatherers and Crafters come together to craft your own Airships sounds pretty sweet as well!

So there are some promising things in the future for DoL / DoH, but of course it's a bit of a ways off from now.

Thanks again Reinheart.

There's this persistent feeling that this post was released "instead of" the class post we're all waiting for, or that time was wasted on it.

I don't think this feeling has any basis in reality and it'd probably be good if everyone calmed down a little bit.

[Kiote]

I really just wish Yoshida would come to terms with the fact that people just want something right now. Not full overhaul before 2.0. The majority of Gatherers would be , at least temporarily, satisfied with some stupid mechanic comparable to Caravan Escorts but in a gathering environment. Just ONE thing to take their mind off the grind every once and a while. For some reason he seems to think gatherers only care about making gil..

[Malakhim]

These aren't the Yoshida posts you're looking for.

[Reinheart]

dang so many responses on this thread lol, should of started a new thread for gatherers before I started the translation....

rough version is done, people are checking grammar and fixing up what I wrote...really really thank you guys

This YoshiP's post was response to JP thread talking about Gatherers mainly since nothing has been really mentioned and there are players who only do gathering in this game and they really wanted to know what the hell is going on. So this was a long response from YoshiP for them.

As for the battle class change info it supposed to be up this week I think, might go on till next week but we should see that one soon also, that one YoshiP said it's being translated so official translation should come out same timing as the JP one.
