Regarding goobbue mount

誰かに連行されたとかなんとか…（ﾎﾞｿｯ
Got taken away but someone or something...(mumble)

ΩΩΩ＜な、なんだってー！！！！吉......いや、異邦の詩人って連行されたんですか！？
ΩΩΩ< W, What!!! Yoshi.... I mean wandering minstrel got taken away!?

と、これはこれで楽しみにしていただきまして……
I'll just leave that as that so you can look forward to it.....

グゥーブーの入手期限に間に合うのかとハラハラしている方も少なからずいらっしゃると思いますが本日公開したトピックスでお伝えしているように、パッチ1.23aは重大な不具合が発見されない限り、8/14（火）に公開する予定です。
I believe there are those of you that want to make it by the Goobbue's last date so as mentioned in today's Topics as long as any major bug is not detected in 1.23a patch we are planning release on 08/14 (Tuesday) (Japan - US 13th)

パッチ公開までまだ10日ほどありますので、それまでにグゥーブーの入手条件である「レベル30」まで、頑張ってあげていただければ幸いです！！
There is still 10 days until the patch release so would appreciate if you can make the requirement to get to Level 30 to be able to obtain Goobbue!

Regarding bombdance

こんばんは。
Good evening,

紅蓮祭についてのフィードバックありがとうございます。
Thank you for the feedback regarding Moon Firefaire.

イベントが終わりに近づくとイベント参加者が減り、クリアできないのでは？という
懸念の声をいただいていますが、ぜひ各都市のイベントを回っていただき試してもらえればと思います。
We are receiving voices that as the event is nearing it's end the number or participants gets lower and makes it impossible to clear, but would like for you to go through each city event and try them out.

またエモート「ボム踊り」については個人的にも気に入っているため、
「もちろん、紅蓮祭終わっても使えるんですよね？」っと聞いてみたのですが......
Also regarding the bombdance emote, I like it personally and I asked if we can use this even after the Moon Firefaire event but received below comment.

イベント期間中のみの特別なエモートです。季節ものなので......
This is a special emote limited for the event and it's seasonal so......

という回答をもらいました。
ヴァレンティオンデーの投げキッスは季節を問わず使用できるものだったため、
特別ケースとして通常エモートに追加しました。
The blowkiss from Valentines day was something that can be used regardless of the season so it was considered a special case and was added into standard emotes.

個人的にも非常に残念で仕方ないのですが、
こうなったらイベント期間中だけでも踊りまくるしかないですね。
Personally really sad about it but since it's that way only thing we can do is dance like mad during the event time.

aw....they're gonna take away the hokey pokey?


But that's what it's all about!

Regarding screen capture and achievements from current to 2.0

こんばんは。
Good evening,

アチーブメントについてのフィードバックありがとうございます。
Thank you for the feedback's regarding achievements.

個人個人でアチーブメントに対する見解が異なるとは思いますが私たちとしては、現行版でこれまでやってきたことは新生版でも反映されるべきであると考えています。このため、現行版で達成したアチーブメントについては、新生版でもポイントを引き継ぎ、UI上に表示する予定です。また、新生版では達成できないアチーブメントのうち、現行版で達成できなかったものについては新生版のUI上に表示されないようにします。
I believe everyone has their own opinions for achievements but for us we believe it's best to reflect what is on current version onto 2.0 as well. For that reason for the achievements you have completed in current version, the points will be carried over to 2.0 and is planned to be displayed on the UI. For the achievements you couldn't complete in current version and those you can't complete in 2.0 will not be displayed in 2.0's UI.

運営の方が知ってる保存できる。という方法なら、すごく綺麗に保存出来る手段とかあるのかなぁって思ったんです。
例えば、メーカー秘蔵の社内独自仕様キャプチャソフト・・・みたいな？(*ゝω・)ﾉ
そういうの外に出せないとは思いますし、出してという訳じゃないんですけど、聞くだけならタダかなと思って、
聞いとけば、出してくれる気になったり・・・はないでしょうが｜ω・)
トレーラーとか見てたらすごく綺麗なのであんな感じで保存出来たらなぁ。
という願望からちょっと聞いてみましたｗ
(reworded) Is there a special method to be able to save the video so it's in it's best quality? For example special capture software only used in the office? I don't think those would be around outside and not saying to release the software but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask and maybe might feel like releasing?? I really liked watching the trailer so wanted to see if I can save in the same style.

そんな素敵なものがあったらいいですよね。トレーラーがすごく綺麗に見えるのは解像度を高くしているからで、メーカー秘蔵の社内独自仕様キャプチャソフトといったものは存在しません。一般的な動画キャプチャ―ソフトで保存できますので、お気に入りのカットシーンをがんばって保存してみてください。
Would be nice if there was something like that. The reason the trailers look really nice is because the resolution is much higher, there isn't any special software within office for capturing. It doesn't exist. You can save the cut scenes using general capturing software so please try and save those favorite cut scenes.

また何かありましたらフィードバックをお寄せください。
Please leave a feedback if you have anything else, thanks.

Some complained about not being able to login due to server issue and nothing was mentioned in the topics/news section, here's Triairy's comment regarding this one.

こんばんは。
Good evening,

まず、サーバーダウン時のオペレーションについてです。
First off regarding the operation during server down

サーバーの監視は365日24時間監視しており、何かしらの障害を検知した場合は即座に復旧作業を実施しています。
この際、多くの方に影響のあるワールド自体の障害や複数エリアにまたがる障害、また長時間の障害となった場合に、The Lodestoneやサポートセンターでお知らせしているのですが、そうではなく全ての障害に関するアナウンスを行ってほしいというご意見だと受け止めさせていただき、その前提で続きの説明をします。
Server is being monitored 365 days 24 hours and if it detect any type of problem we get into the repair work right away. In this situation if the problem affects many players throughout the world or through several areas or if the problem persists for long time then we announce through the Lodestone or Support Center. But writing this for those other problems that isn't being announced and people wanting to be be announced.


他の方からの投稿にもありましたが、影響範囲が極めて少ない場合や発生時間が短い場合、ニュースなどでの告知を行っていないのは、それを行うことでそれよりも重要なお知らせが埋もれてしまうなどのデメリットが大きく本末転倒な事態になってしまうためです。
Some already posted but the reason why we are not announcing the problems in the news for problems that affected minimal region/area or if the problem only happened for shot period of time is to avoid other important announcements to get buried away.

一方でその他の機能として、サーバーの稼働状況（＝サーバーステータス）を確認する手段がなく、ご不便をおかけしている部分については、新生版ではランチャー上でサーバー稼働状況を確認できるようにすべく準備を行っています。
On the other hand there are no features to check on current server status and for the parts causing inconvenience within 2.0 launcher we are preparing where you can check the server status.

スレッドの話題とは異なりますが、確率を明示しないゲームシステム（たとえばマテリガの生成確率など）を
もしバランス調整上変更することがあるならば、これも変更した旨を（上げた/下げたは非開示でも良いので）
きちんと開示すべきだと思います。これだけで「裏パッチだ！」と騒がれることは無くなる筈ですから。
Off topic but if the balance is being changed in the game system for those that doesn't show the percentage (for example the rate of how much materia tier IV is produced) would like to have a announcement that lets everyone know of the change (Don't have to show if the change increased/decreased) by doing this you can avoid people saying "It's a hidden patch!"

確かに裏パッチは辞めてほしいですね
パッチで変更するならどんなことでも記載すべきだとは思います
ＤＬ装備のドロップ率とか1.22かなんかであからさまに落としてきましたし・・・
I really want them to stop hidden patches, if it's being changed in a patch I believe it should be mentioned, in 1.22 the DL (Dark Light) gear drop rate dropped...

上記のコメントにあるような、マテリア生成確率や、ダークライト装備のドロップ率の調整などは一切行われていません。
We haven't done any adjustments to above mentioned materia production rate or drop rate on dark light gears.

いわゆる「裏パッチ」と判断されてしまう可能性があるケースは2つあり、パッチノートの記載漏れ、もしくは不具合などによる本来の想定から外れてた挙動が発生している場合だと思いますが、いずれも意図的なものではありません。
There are two possible cases people may feel it's a "Hidden Patch", either it was missed to be mentioned in the patch note or it's a bug which is causing an issue that isn't supposed to be happening. Either way both isn't done on purpose.

発生しないよう努めること、また発生が確認できた場合には速やかに対応を行うことを念頭に置いて業務にあたっていますので、隠したいという意思があるものではないという点だけご理解いただければ幸いです。
We are working hard to make sure these don't happen or if it does happen to try and address the issue right way so please understand we are not trying to hide it.

Before anyone starts talking about "hidden patches" in here.... start a new thread plz...

. You can save the cut scenes using general capturing software so please try and save those favorite cut scenes.

I'm not 100% sure I buy this @ least in true full screen mode. Unless your video capturing software has direct access to the direct x buffers your only going to be able to record a black screen (Something like fraps will but others that are free might not). I know because I made a image capturing program I use with XIV but it wont' work in true full screen because they draw to a special direct x buffer that is offscreen. You don't normally have access to this buffer unless you modify your direct x files afaik. I believe it was/is the same situation in XI and with any other full screen game that uses this style of buffering.

It's been awhile since I've tried though things may have changed. You can easily check if you try and do a windows print screen capture in full screen.

P.S. If someone does know how to access this buffer without modifying direct x feel free to point me in the right direction

You can use this program to record videogames since...forever http://www.fraps.com/

[Reinheart]

http://www.bandicam.com/ I used that one before and was fine for capturing movie on full screen or windowed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBDmYgnuRcg & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yALgxY-Ej0I shouldn't get busted for this one recorded it to report to SE and show the issue lol... nothing really special anyways... Don't upload actual cut scenes though like the reps said

[Reabs]

Did you even read what I wrote yukikaze_yanagi? I mention fraps in what I was talking about ~_~;

I believe bandicam works the same way fraps does. And if you notice they are both pay to use them (Without watermarks & unlimited time). IMO things I can't do without paying for them aren't really general software. Who wants to watch the awesome in-game CS with a huge watermark overhead?

In any case I just mentioned it cause I had some experience related to the matter don't want to bog your thread down anymore.

[Soukyuu]

^ And that's why I love MSI Afterburner... same performance as both Bandicam and Fraps but free and no stupid watermarks. *backing up his cutscenes*
