Translations (JP to English)

[Reinheart]

this one may not even apply to the English locale FFXIV. JP guys talked how message that show up in the logs doesn't really make sense for some of the emotes you perform and wanted it to be fixed.

こんにちは。
Hello,

エモートリストのエモート名と、ログに表示される内容にかけ離れているものがある点について開発チームに伝えたところ、パッチ1.18かその次のパッチでの修正が予定されているとのことでした。もう少々お待ち下さい。
We have brought the point where the message on the log doesn't match the emote; in 1.18 or the patch after this is being planned to be fixed. Please wait little bit more.

フィードバックありがとうございました。
Thank you for the feedback.

Fists eh? Wasn't thinking they'd go that route. I was thinking more along the lines of whacking them with the bow itself, like some kind of staff attack. Maybe the fists are just placeholder animations? I understand why it's a bad idea to give archers daggers/melee weapons, but I think they can do a little better on the ARC auto attack.

On the JP side people was asking for <CALL> sounds like from FFXI; Rep responded saying the message has been delivered to the dev team. I don't see why not, it was useful in FFXI, while some jerks used it to piss people off LOL.

皆さん、こんばんは。
Good Evening Everyone,

FFXIにあるCall機能を実装してほしいというご意見ありがとうございました！開発チームにしっかりと届けました！
Thank you for your suggestion to add the Call feature which exists in FFXI! I have delivered the message to the dev team.

JP side has a thread going on with haiku poems relating to FFXI... JP haiku's go by number of letter (hiragana, without the small letters... 5,7,5...) anyways people were posting stuff over time and Yoshida Producer wanted to join in... This one is just translation, translation will break the haiku form... just thought it was funny he posted this so translating.

社内でも
徐々にポエ吉
通り名に

Inside office
starting to Poekichi
becoming my name (street name)

めげません、ええ…
I wont be discouraged...yes....

I think I posted it somewhere else Poekichi or Poem is another nick name aside from YoshiP; He got that nick name from some people for him posting the weird poem in december... Poe (poem) Kichi is just something people put at end of nick names in Japan. Like for example if someone is named... Tony they might call him Tonkichi, if you know JP anime it's same like Tony-kun, xxx-chan, kichi is less popular one...

I thought it was because kichi is an alternate reading of 吉 from 吉田, or is that just a coincidence?

Most likely coincidence since the 吉 can be read in two ways, "Yoshi" and "Kichi" that's the hard part about Japanese kanji... same character and you got multiple ways to read it... 人 = Hito or Nin.

Lemme see if I can translate that one

プロデューサ/ディレクタの吉田です。
This is Producer/Director Yoshida.

新規IDを必ずプレイしてもらえると思っていませんか？FF14自体を、今 残ったユーザーからすら選択肢からはずされる結果になりませんか？SWGの記事のように。
You think we will (have to) play the new instance dungeon? Wouldn't that result in taking out the users that's still left in FF14? Just like the article in SWG (??SWG??)

ご指摘ごもっともと思います。選択権は皆さんにあります。
正直インスタンスダンジョン、インスタンスレイドは、そもそも全然数が足りていないと思います。
クエストが0という異常状態でバトンを受け取ったこととほぼ同じです。
これは同情してほしい、ということではありません。
you all have a choice, that is correct.
Honestly I think there isn't enough instance dungeon or instance raid.
It's same as when I was handed over with 0 quests.
I don't mean for you to be sympathetic.

レベリングの過程でインスタンスダンジョンは最低4、R50向けレイドダンジョンが3くらいは、
ロンチ時に用意しておく必要があったと考えています。
その場合には当然、ニーズに応じたコンテンツのチョイスがあったと思いますが、
現状ではその選択肢を皆さんに対して、まだ用意することができていません。
ですが、運営を続けている以上、一歩目を踏み出す必要はありますし、変化は必要です。
必要数を用意してまとめて実装するのが理想ですが、何度か触れているとおり、
時間がかかりすぎるのは、最悪だろうと考えています。ゼロの状態からは早く脱したいのです。
I believe there should be at least 4 instance dungeon for leveling process, and about 3 raid dungeons for R50 at beginning of launch.
If that was so then you had the choice to decide what to do depending on your needs.
At current we don't have those options available for everyone.
But to continue running this game we had to make the first step forward to make the change. It is best if we can get enough amount ready at first and releasing all together, but like I said previously, taking too long is also bad. We want to get out of the zero status as fast as possible.

これからもレイドやインスタンスダンジョンの実装は続けますので、
これで終わりではありません。レイドダンジョンはそもそも「コンテンツ」ではなく、
当たり前に複数存在しているべきものの総称だと思っていますので、
パッチ1.18のレイドダンジョン一つが、単にギルドリーヴの代替えではありません。
We will keep on adding more raid and instance dungeon so this is not the last of it. Raid dungeons as I see shouldn't be considered a content but something that should of already be in to begin with.
The raid dungeon in 1.18 patch isn't a replacement for guild leves.

今回制限が色々存在するのは、インスタンス占有/コンテンツ占有の問題があるからです。
ダンジョンをクリアできるランク/人数に満たないPTで、インスタンスを占有され、
順番待ちが発生するのは、避けたいという意図があるのは確かです。
Right now we have the different restrictions is because there is instance claiming, contents claiming problem. (Occupancy? number of groups that can get in)
Our intention is to avoid where you have to wait in line.

プレイしてみて貰って「もっと少人数で攻略してみたい！」という声を頂いたり、
報酬がある程度行き渡ったのを見て、条件を緩和すること自体はそれほど難しくはありません。
皆さんの状況を見て、必要であれば、制限緩和のミニパッチを実装しようと考えています。
After playing and we hear more from you all about "clearing with fewer people!" and looking over making adjustments isn't that hard to do. We are thinking after looking at the situation if needed we can add mini-patch to change the restrictions.

here you go

Hi Reinheart,

Thanks again for your great translation work.

It's good to hear from Yoshida-san and his honesty: That he would've ideally wanted to launch the game with multiple Instanced and Raid Dungeons already available.

I sympathize with his situation and agree with what he is doing for 1.18. Sure he could have his team wait and release multiple Raid Dungeons when they're ready (another... 3 - 6 months?) but I think they would've completely lost the remaining small player base if they held back content that long (and released a gigantic patch with everything in it).

On the same Haiku Poem thread someone posted after seeing YoshiP being on the forums posting posted a Haiku saying it's starting to get boring doing same stuff, he responded to that one so here goes.

もう少しお待ちを！今レイドボス最終調整してます。
たった今、裏的ボスにQAチームが全滅しましたｗ
Please wait a bit more! We are making final adjustments to raid boss!
Just right now the QA team just got defeated by the secret like boss (Urateki - 2nd? Secret? Back like)

Suguha's response which I also agree

裏的ボス
表じゃなくて
裏的ボス
Back (secret) boss
Not Front
Back (secret) boss

さらっと書いてますけど、すごく気になります。
ルートによって複数ボスがいたりするんですかね？
you mentioned this like nothing but really interested in this.
Does it mean there are several bosses depending on the route you take?

Hi Reinheart,

Thanks again for your tireless translations.

This is great news! Secret Boss for the Raid Dungeon. The fact that their QA Team got wiped out by it (excellent)!

It may not be Pandemonium Warden or Absolute Virtue, but I hope it's very, very hard. (and it sounds like it.)
