Translations (JP to English)

[Reinheart]

I should post here, next live letter, I WON'T be able to do live translation due to the hours it's going to start.
It's on a regular weekday at 6AM my time, I gotta take care of kids and prep for work as well. If anyone can record the video I'll try to work on the translations from work, since it's Friday most likely it's going to be a slow day for me so I should be able to do it then.

Foxclonn answered more CE purchasing questions but no one translate. inside one thing is very tricky...

I want to confirm with this translation:
Foxclonn pretty much said if you have 1.0 normal version, purchasing ARR CE for windows will not give you ingame item because it can't link to your 1.0 account...

I read this from foxclonn post#9

旧FF14通常版を持っていて、既存キャラクターで
予約特典、CE版のインゲームアイテムを受け取りたい場合、
新生FF14CE版を予約し、予約特典コードとCE版付属のレジストレーションコードを
今までのサービスアカウントに紐付ければ
予約特典のインゲームアイテム、CE版インゲームアイテム両方とも
既存キャラクターで受け取ることができるという認識で合っていますか？
予約特典･･･はい、あっています。
CE版特典･･･新生FFXIV Win版を購入しても、既存のサービスアカウントに紐付けることはできないため、
特典アイテムは入手できませんので、インゲームアイテムだけ入手したい場合は、
デジタルアップグレードをご利用ください。

なお、PS3版を購入した場合は、既存のサービスアカウントに紐付けることができるため、
特典アイテムを入手することができます。

it pretty much say (from google translate): if you have normal 1.0 account, you shouldn't purchase ARR PC CE because it can't be added to your old char. you have 2 options:
1. buy PS3 CE and tie to 1.0 account (I want CE bonus and that music blueray)
2. buy digital CE upgrade later

edit:

My account is currently a Standard non-legacy 1.0 account

I want the FFXIV:ARR Collector's Edition physical bonus items too!
You must purchase a physical Collector's Edition version on PC or PS3 to get the FFXIV:ARR CE physical bonus items. Doing this will also give you access to the pre-order in-game items.

- Buying the PC FFXIV:ARR Collector's Edition will not give you access to the FFXIV:ARR Collector's Edition in-game items. Purchasing the 'Collector's Edition Digital Upgrade' will also be required to gain access to the Collector's Edition in-game items.

- Alternatively, buying the PS3 FFXIV:ARR Collector's Edition and registering it to your existing account will give you access to the Collector's Edition items without the purchase of the 'Collector's Edition Digital Upgrade' as well as being able to play your characters on PS3.

Thanks for Aki. I'm going to cancel my pre-order of ARR CE for PC... & sorry for the no-translation bump.

What if I bought the old version of FFXIV, and I already have characters on my account, but I'm looking to get the in game pre-order and collector's edition items. If I pre-order the collector's edition, then register the pre-order and collector's edition codes to my existing account, will I be able to get all the in game items?

You will receive the pre-order items, but the registration code for the Windows collector's edition cannot be used with a pre-existing Windows service account. To receive the in game items for the collector's edition, please use the digital upgrade.

However, the PS3 version can be registered to an existing Windows account, which would allow you to receive the collector's edition items.

to answer mbncd's concern:
you can like me to purchase ARR CE for PS3. [I canceled my ARR CE for windows with no problem. They didn't charge me yet so there is no refund issue.]
ARR CE for PS3 the code is different than ARR CE for Windows that is tied with CE code and FF14 account together. (That's why you can't use it for old account) You can link the PS3 ARR CE to your other non-CE account. Then, both of your account will have CE status, and you can also enjoy the physical gifts come with it.

Grrrr! SE's taking all of my money! I have 2 accounts, one is CE, the other is non CE from the buddy pass. I bought the CE of ARR thinking I could get the physical goodies including a non phone token for my second account at last, CE digital goodies for my second account, and pre order goodies for my main account. Now it looks like after buying 2 CE's (one for 1.0 and one for ARR), I'm still going to have to buy a CE upgrade ~_~ Blast it! Why couldn't the CE part have just been a separate code that could be added to any account..? I thought that was how they were going to manage the digital upgrade, just hand out spare codes to whoever bought them...

7th Producer Letter Live - TEST BROADCAST - translation

Video Link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7VzhsZZRUI

-------------

It's super rough version, didn't change, fix anything just went along with the video so as usual might be missing some stuff.
I have to get to some work stuff so I may come back later to fix it up a bit but since it's test broadcast version don't expect too much from it.
1) They will sell Distant Worlds album on 6/26
2) They will sell FFXIV - Before Meteor sound track with 104 tracks which is over 6 hours - Has all the previous version XIV sound tracks in blue ray music disk format.
3) If you buy Before Meteor sound track it will come with Dalamud minion
4) Since sound track is blue-ray disk, they also will include MP3 version inside so you can transfer to your portable device to listen.
5) Video recap of 1.x primal battles stopped half way, YoshiP comes in an scolds Soken and Mocchi, asks what the hell is Soken wearing on his head, Soken says he can't answer but YoshiP kept on saying Scholar. PR tries to stop him saying that info hasn't been released yet, but YoshiP get's pissed off at PR and tells them they are as bad as him and makes the PR guy also get in seiza stance and to leave a comment for FF14 players.

m; well since we got this chance, lets call Soken-san
s; really? This going to be okay?
m; if something happens you just need to get out and fix
s; oh yeah
m; well it’s the usual two
m; oooh what’s this
m; Mocchi & Knee: Soken... Test Caster...
m; they are testing stuff we haven’t been told about
m; it’s okay
s; for those watching nico-chou event, i was to apologize, i should of done something more fun, was too serious.
s; if you made some funny faces i would of taken picture and posted it but you were serious
s; when someone asked to take pic with me, i did make funny faces
m; should of done the opposite
s; i see
s; let me fix that
s; I’m not good with language
m; well your status is for music
s; you got beard, its long
m; mmm
s; i see
s; got announcement
m; you brought it?
s; last time susan caloway the one i messed up, i leaked it right? that became a product. Uematsu-san is posing like this inside. This is blue-ray, dvd? Blue-ray.
s; This is coming out June 26th, Distant Worlds, music from Final Fantasy celebration
s; it was good i leaked, maybe if i leak it becomes a product
m; you got something else.
s; if it’s just that people from 14...
s; i got more important information
s; because of some stuff, some information spread out, and yesterday, FFXIV CE it has different stuff.
s; it’s close to deadline but the guys over there brought some stuff and we’re going to have sound track and stuff.
s; and the master for the sound track finished last night, that’s this. It will have 6 tracks and people may say that’s too short but each part is long.
s; With 6 tracks it’s pretty much full on the CD, we were discussing what to do since it was over and we didn’t want to cut it at the wrong part.
m; suisho no shirabe - 11min 15sec its long
s; it’s long
m; seion no mori - 5min 51sec
s; about 6 seconds
m; 3rd track limrulain no vail
m; 8min 54sec
s; you probably can guess where this is
m; nishikaze ni nosete - 5min 19sec
s; 5min 19sec, it’s long
m; Sabaku no houseki - 12min 40sec, this is the longest one
s; this one was great
m; shakunetsu no chie - 6min 35sec
s; this one is in the walkthrough
m; total play time 50min50sec
s; i made it go go 14! (5 reads go)
m; you were talking you couldn’t get it in the cd, but you were actually playing as usual
m; please look forward to it
s; got some more stuff
s; yesterday some info leaked but previous xiv, world that was burned by Eorzea
s; before meteor, complete sound track, sound track that has every track from previous XIV has been confirmed
m; you put everything in?
s; yep, it’s going to be on sale, it’s going through mastering right now.
s; has 104 tracks, total playtime is over 6 hours
m; so you play start and it will play for 6 hours?
s; yeah
m; so you play in the noon, it will end around the time for dinner
s; it’s long
s; first we were talking about getting it in CD but to get it in it will be about 7 CDS? 8? more? I see
m; reminds me of old playstation games
s; The cost to produce is high, and putting disk 2, 6 and stuff will get annoying so were blue ray disk music, music industry is taking about switching to that direction so
m; so catch that wave huh
s; yeah, that’s what Inatori decided
s; in one disk
m; so 7disk became 1 disk
s; yes, but you will need blue-ray drive, was thinking if it’s better as CD but since if its 8 disk it’s going to cost a lot we chose the blue-ray disk.
s; people might say what the hell, I can’t listen to it anywhere
s; so in the disk there is the mp3 version where you can transfer to portable device and listen
m; that going to be OK?
s; i think it’s OK, Inatori over there is saying ok
m; can’t see him but it’s really him
s; also one more reason, blue-ray disk, if it’s CD it’s done by 44.1 sound but this time 96khz 24bit - if you put that in numbers, it’s about 5 times greater.
m; I’m not good with numbers, but that just means it’s great right?
m; if you listen, you’ll know the difference right?
s; tested it out in the studio to compair but it’s different
s; also brought jacket
s; this is bad, this didn’t pass, and in the end came to this
s; yoship been wearing meteor survivor t-shirt with this.
s; see it says Before Meteor
s; For those of you that buy this CD you’ll get a minion, like finger and stuff, but for this cd if you buy it you’ll get... I took this
s; This (shows image of Dalamud)
s; We have size comparison
m; oh yeah?
s; this
m; who’s next to it?
s; it’s that old guy
m; it’s you right?
s; i got a larger image here
m; soken-san.......
m; soken-san.......
s; m-san told me to bring this ball, this dalamud ball
m; looks same
m; something is stuck inside dalamud... that’s you
s; this one is bug
s; this is actual one, probably this one removed
m; ah
s; we just stuck it on with glue...
s; It has everything so Ifrit, Moogle, Garuda, Darnus, all of it is in there, answers in there also, right?
m; told him it’s ok to talk but he doesn’t talk
s; I believe there are many wanting to see old images of XIV so wanted to show video of it
m; you worked hard huh?
s; made it 30min ago
# stops half way
s; looks like it stopped half way... so we started broadcast in seiza stance...
m; well at least we were able to test it so make sure it doesn’t happen tomorrow right
s; yeah
#shows video again
m; well we went through a lot in previous version
y; it’s long!
y; long
s; long...
y; and why was the broadcast stopped?
s; we didn’t know it stopped and kept on going
y; after this i have to record after this to make the commentary, i haven’t slept, and i can’t move
s; can I borrow your shaver
y; what’s this?
m; this is osute stuff we put on you
y; yeah, and what do you have on?
s; I can’t say it from my mouth...
y; it’s Scholar right?
y; you want to say Scholar right?
y; I’ll say it again, this is Scholar right?
s; Yes it’s Scholar!
other - that’s not good, Scholar is not good.
y; i want to tell the PR guys, we get in trouble but you guys are leaking Arcanist and Summoner, battle team is really pissed off and I have to treat them Yakiniku after this.
y; you telling me it’s not good now, it’s not bad, all those customers are following up and where people are asking what the hell is that, others saying just think about devs and keep quiet.
y; you should seiza, you haven’t done at all
y; alright please leave a message for 14 customers
PR: Today, I’m sorry I missed the perm (hair),
s; that’s not it!
PR: even if I messed up my hair, 14 will succeed so please support us!
s; nice
y; alright that’s it for test broadcast,
m; tomorrow will be from 22:00
m; today was bit off from our scheduled time.

So 1.0 non-legacy players that own a standard XIV copy (not CE) can only get the in-game items if they use the digital upgrade, but if they want the physical and digital stuff they need to buy the ps3 version?

Yep ~_~ There's a workaround if you buy the PS3 CE but you can't attach an ARR PC CE (either physical or download) code to any previously existing service account unless you spend the extra $20 on a digital upgrade as well. We're hoping they'll find an alternate solution for this or long term FFXIV fans are going to be burnt yet again (first on 1.0 release, now on ARR release).


Edit: Also the same applies regardless of whether you're a legacy player or not.

Thanks as always for your translations Reinheart!

half way done with translation, i'll try to finish when I get home.
This is again translated as I go and not fixed so there will be lots of spelling errors, grammar (as usual), and other stuff that might be confusing but if you can just follow through using the vid link in there + the Q/A from XIV twitter posts.

Thanks
