i win !!!

Damn you!! by 1 minute too!
I updated the post just a bit while I'm reading through still lol
You checking eLeMen for new interviews being posted on JP side or something? you're always fast on these lol

Reinheart; have you heard anything in the other japanese posts about needing 50,000 beastman currency to finish off quest?

Nope nothing about this one yet.... you need 50,000 beastman currency? lol

Hmm, well this will be something if true.

4Gamer：
　ちなみに，ギルドリーヴのようなソロプレイ用のコンテンツというのもあるんですか？
Are there solo play content such as Guildleve?

吉田氏：
　もちろんあります。プレイヤーがギルドリーヴをクリアするまでの流れは大きく変わりますが，カジュアルに毎日やることがある，というギルドリーヴのコン セプトは悪くないと思っています。ただ，ソロプレイの中心は新たな場所の発見とクエストですね。あと，あまり詳しくは話せませんが，モンスター図鑑のよう なものも用意しようかなと思っています。
Of course. The flow of how the player clears the guildleve will greatly change but it's something you can do casually everyday and I think the concept of guildleve wasn't bad. Quest to be able to find new area's while playing solo, also can't talk about the details but also planning to have something like a monster reference book (was it beastiary in English?? one where you collect mob data after kills and stuff )

4Gamer：
　それは，コレクション要素があるものを追加するということでしょうか。
So does that mean you're adding content which required to collect stuff?

吉田氏：
　はい。そういうものをじっくりと集めるのが好きな方には，悪くない仕組みかなと。
Yes. I think it's not a bad system for those who likes to collect stuff like this.

吉田氏：
　ええ。ちなみにクラフトに関してもう少しお話しすると，新生FFIXVでは，ゲーム内のレシピ手帳を充実させる予定ですので，手に入れたアイテムを見るだけで何が作れるのかがすぐに分かるようになります。
Also talking little bit about crafting in 2.0 FFXIV, we're planning to make more use of the in-game recipe book, so by looking at the items you obtained you would be able to know what kind of stuff you can craft with it right away.

I don't remember seeing this one

Dear god, please say it isn't so

[Gramul]

Dear god, please say it isn't so

I'm fine with that. Just make more ways to get them.
Ways that don't include hamlets.

Content finder can be used to fill up open slots in your party.
Say you got 7 ppl and 1 slot is available but no one in your server is responding then you can use content finder to fill up that open spot. YoshiP wants the content finder mainly for casual play and not for the hard core (harder difficulty)

I knew he was smart.

Edit:

Yes it's called Bestiary or Codec/Codex.

[Reinheart]

Some more...

4Gamer：
　なるほど。ほかにも，PvPが入る予定だと聞きました。
I heard there are plans for bringing in PvP.

吉田氏：
　入れます。PvPはできるだけ本格的にやりたいと思っています。
It will have. I want to really go full-scale for PvP

4Gamer：
　PvPといえば確か，吉田さんは「Dark Age of Camelot」のコアプレイヤーだったんですよね？　凄腕だったと風の噂で聞いたことがありますよ。
Talking about PvP I heard you were really strong and core player of Dark Age of Camelot.

吉田氏：
　上には上がいるので，僕より凄腕は沢山いましたよ（笑）。でも去年，当時の開発チームと話をしたら，キャラクターが知られてはいましたね。
There are always stronger players and there were lots stronger than me (laugh) but last year when I talked to their dev team they did know my character.

4Gamer：
　悪名高い（笑）。
notorious (laugh)

吉田氏：
　いえいえ，敵からは「あいつらチートだ」とか言われてましたけど，Hiberniaでは救国の戦士ですから！　53人の敵に対して，8人で13分間戦い 続けて，最終的にはポーションが尽きて死んだなんてこともありましたね。懐かしい……，海外のプレイヤーと罵り合いながら戦っていましたよ。日本の時間の 昼休み頃に1時間だけPvPに出撃して，海外強豪ギルドを倒す動画を作って公開してみたり。
No no, from the enemy they used to say "we're cheating" but in Hibernia was a warrior so we had times where we were against 53 people with 8 players fighting over 13 minutes and in the end we ran short on potions and wiped. Good times.... used to fight against foreign players. Used to go to PvP during the 1 hour free time during lunch and posting videos of us taking down strong foreign guilds.

4Gamer：
　完全に廃ゲーマーじゃないですか！　しかしそうなると，新生のPvPもかなりのものになりそうですが。
So you were hard core gamer! but if it's like that does that mean 2.0's PvP is going to be grand as well?

吉田氏：
　いえ，そんなことはありません。力を入れているというか，PvPって単に殴ることができればいいというわけではなく，バランスがすべてですから，ある種天秤のような役割を果たしてくれると思っています。
　そもそも，PvPにのめり込むプレイヤー層っていうのは，多くて全体の10～15％程度ですから，ビジネスという意味だけでの数字で見たらそこまで重要ではないんです。ただ，それがあることで，どんどんアイテムが消費されて，生産が生きてきたりするんですよね。エンドコンテンツですよね，まさに。
No it doesn't mean that. For PvP it doesn't mean it's OK if you can just simply hit, it all depends on balance so it will work as a balance scale. For those that will get into PvP is probably 10-15% at most so for business stand point it's not very important, however by having that items will be used more and it brings crafting to life and stuff. It's basically an end content.

4Gamer：
　確かに活性化はするとは思いますね。
I see, I believe it will revitalize the economy

吉田氏：
　ですから，ゲーム全体を長生きさせて，より深く楽しく遊んでもらうためにPvPは必須だと思っているんです。要するに，僕自身がやりたいというよりは，MMORPGのグローバルスタンダード化の一環として盛り込む必要があると思っています。
So in order to keep the game stay long and to enjoy even more I believe PvP is requried. Instead of me just wanting to do this in order to make it MMORPG's global standard I think this needs to be included.

I should just translate the damn thing... setting up google doc for this one... easier to work/edit on there than on the forum post.

also can't talk about the details but also planning to have something like a monster reference book

Jynx will be happy like a child And.. go for 'collecting things'!

[Allcars]

PVP is really interesting to me, it seems a lot of final fantasy xi players don't like pvp and are more pve gamers. I think it might change a bit in 2.0 if pvp is implemented in a good way. If pvp is good I'm sure more pve oriented players will give it a go. I have had friends that were scared of pvp and mainly pve players, but once they were in it and they won a couple times they were hooked they became hardcore pvpers.

The fact that yoshi-p was a hardcore pvp fan in Dark Age of Camelot gives me hope he knows how to balance pvp for an mmo. That game was very balanced and had some of the most awesome pvp there was and if he really is a veteran player he will know how much balance is important to pvp. something the Wow devs seemed to have forgotten.

Thanks for this translation Reinheart!
