Translations (JP to English)

Mmm it's different from spirit bond as in ver 1.x you could still trade items that had say 50% spirit bond point already and stuff right? This one is saying once you get even over 1% or higher you won't be able to trade that item. But let me change the wording to bond/bonded like you suggested.

Edit: After checking the definitions and all that it should be bound/bounded as the items are bounded to the character and different from spirit bond.



Yep this is what it means. If you use the armor and get even 1% spirit bond it's bound to your character and becomes untradable.

In ver 1.x if you meld a materia onto that gear it reset the spirit bond to 0% right... can't remember... I thought it did. So it's possible to trade/sell after melding materia onto them??

Okay, that makes sense. Bound as in bound to your characters inventory. Confusing since they mention both topics in the same response XD

My data packet is so big...

Wait what?

Regional servers indeed should fix most of that - the problem seems to only exist in places that have bad connection and/or have no regional server. Imo the problem isnt with the US so long as they are not using dial up lol.

Rein as Vil said, I want to verify. So if you use the armor at all it will be bound to you and you can no longer trade/share it? I wonder if that is their way of making it so you can have easier materia melds (so materia doesn't flood the system), and things will still be bought because while not being broken it cannot be resold.

hmm. Makes the guild bank a little scarier lol (But I like less frustrating materia and still good economy)

They're hiding "PS3 memory limitation" .

Even before that not sure if I can make it back for the Live, but even before not sure if I make it to departure......

I don't understand this part.

[Reinheart]

I don't understand this part.

He's just saying he's not ready to leave or doesn't want to leave cuz he hates flying... and the first part he's saying if he does leave he may not get back in time for the P.Letter Live. He's just joking. He'll do fine as he did in the past + without him there won't be any P. Letter Live

Too bad there isn't any mini FFXIV event for the fans to meet up and cheer him out lol

This translation was confusing to me. By "bind/bound" they are referring to the spirit bond aspect of gear, correct? If so, you should alternate the words from "bond/bonded" instead, since those are the words we are familiar with in regards to spirit bonding and all that fun stuff.

Sorry if I'm being a nag xD

As Rein mentioned, pretty sure this has to do with "Bind on Equip" as is common in most MMOs these days. So from what Rein was saying, once you've done something to accumulate spiritbind on a piece of equipment (aka kill one monster) you're no longer able to trade or market that equipment.

In ver 1.x if you meld a materia onto that gear it reset the spirit bond to 0% right... can't remember... I thought it did. So it's possible to trade/sell after melding materia onto them??

I can't remember honestly, but I don't know how many people are going to spiritbond stuff and then add materia later to it to sell. I think most people would start with a newly crafted piece of gear and then add materia to it to sell or use.

Sorry Rein for responding in here and not in a new thread lol


But for example i had a sword(to long removed from my character to remember names lol) with enmity materia melded on it, then later i got a newer better sword(Mog blade maybe?) I had it repaired and then sold it for alot of gil, this new system would eliminate that from happening and promote people to craft more.

As always, thanks Rein for translating that for us!

Are there any clues as to when the next "Live" Letter will take place?

As said in the letter XLII it will be 1 day after he returns.
