Translations (JP to English)

I think it's the same reason you feel "mortified" when you walk into a white tie affair wearing only jeans and a t-shirt. You want to run back home and dress up too.

So yes, he's both embarrassed and motivated to work hard on his MMO.

Maybe mortified as in humbled?

I would be mortified as well If I walked into the office one morning and was told I would be taking over the XIV Project at it's current state lol

This is what I meant by when YoshiP said mortified, it's JP word 悔しい (kuyashii) where you feel, sad that you couldn't meet up with same or do better... like... say you practiced really hard for a basketball game of 21 with NBA player 1 on 1 and you thought you will at least get it to 19 to 21 and lose but instead you lost 0 to 21... then you feel 悔しい probably didn't use the right word to explain what YoshiP meant in that interview, sorry hope you guys get it now.

In this case he felt sad that FFXIV was nothing close to what Skyrim delivered at launch.

This one is regarding the moogle nut / totem item needed to trade to get Ifrit/Moogle weapon - JP side also complaining some playing not getting any nut/totem drop and here's reps response

皆さん、あけましておめでとうございます。
本年もどうかよろしくお願いいたします。
Happy New Year everyone,
Looking forward to being together this year also (hard to translate this part lol, yoroshiku isn't really commonly used in English community so dunno how to explain this one... anyways)

クポの実のお守りや焔神のトーテム像のドロップ率は、そこまで低い確率ではないのですが、
なかなか取得できないという声も頂いています。
The drop rate for the moogle nut or the totem isn't that low but we have received voice that it's really hard to obtain.

この2つのドロップ率については、調整を検討しているのですが、
ドロップ率を上げた場合でも、やはり人によっては取得できない！ということは考えられるため、
「ドロップ率を100％にし、一度に取得できる数を減らす」方向で検討を行っています。
For these two drop rate we are looking into adjusting, but if we increase the drop rate there may be situation where some will say they can't obtain! so we are looking into making the drop rate 100% and lessening the amount you can obtain at once (per round)

引き続きフィードバックをお待ちしています。
please continue giving feedbacks

100% sounds a tad overkill.

BTW Rein, about that payment translation. Did they say anything about our 30 day trails still being good? (Yeah yeah, over a free year, blah blah blah).

Tamae and others said when PS3 releases the recipe needs to be able to be checked in-game. Here's reps response to this one

こんにちは。
Hello,

今はPCのみでの展開なのでレシピは公式サイトで確認してね！でいいかもしれません。いやまぁ不便ですが、まだ我慢できる範囲内でしょう(納得ではなく我慢です。誤解なきよう)
しかしPS3版での展開を考えるならどのみちゲーム内でのレシピ公開は必要になると思われますが、そのあたりはどうなるのでしょうか？
Right now it's PC's only so you can probably say please look at the official site for recipe although it is inconvenient we can still tolerate but once PS3 version comes out I think you will need to be able to check the recipe in game, whats going to happen?

レシピについては、新生ではゲーム内で確認できるようになる予定です。
それまでの間、引き続きご不便をおかけしてしまいますが、The Lodestoneの製作レシピをご利用ください。
（上記ページについては、前回もお伝えしましたように、 今後も表示方法など含め利用しやすくなるよう対応を行っていきます。）
For recipe we are planning so you can check the recipe in-game in 2.0, until then we're sorry to inconvenience you but please use the recipe page on The Lodestone. (As mentioned previously we will make the display and usability of the page better)

100% sounds right to me as long as its only 1 token per kill.

They didn't mention anything about the 30 day trials, I guess for CE people this whole year was free 30 days, although regular version players also got same benefit lol orz... meh doesn't really matter to me any more it's no use trying to argue this one with them. I blame the old dev team!! w
