Translations (JP to English)

[finiteHP]

This is in regards to feature letting the player know their item was sold.

Doesn't say anything about what if you're not logged in while the item was sold. I'm assuming like other MMO's it will make the alert sound once you log in but no confirmation from reps yet. (plz talk on another thread, thx)

The english version of the rep response says the sound will be when you log in.

Quite a while back we mentioned that we were looking into having a feature that would let you know once an item was purchased from your retainer, as well as an icon you could click to confirm which items were purchased.

We are planning to implement these features during the Beta Test in two phases:

• Beta Test Phase 1: Alert feature that lets you know you sold something
• Beta Test Phase 3: Feature that lets you check the purchased item history

The alert feature will make a specific sound when you log into the game if an item was purchased.

Cool ^^ it's good then.

JP text "商品が売れた際にログインをしていると" translates to 'if you logged in when the item is sold' so I translated that way on mine. If it shows some icon as well would be nice but guessing that goes together with the feature coming in Phase 3

In-game profile comments

こんばんは。
Good evening,

プレイヤーをターゲットして調べた時に、自身のロールプレイなプロフィールコメントなど書き込めて、見てもらえる機能が欲しいです。
Would be nice if there was a feature where you can profile comment for your own character and when people checks the target that information being displayed.

α版の段階で、サーチコメントをキャラクター情報にも表示できるようになっていますので、
お寄せ頂いたようなことはできるようになっています。
ただし、現状はキャラクター情報内に表示されているサーチコメントアイコンにカーソルを合わせる必要があるため、
βテストフェーズ3頃を目処に、カーソルを合わせなくてもサーチコメントが表示できるように作業を進めています。
At the timing of alpha we had a system where search comment shows up on character information so it's possible to do what you suggested.
However, currently this required you to mouse over the search comment icon on that player so we're making changes to this where the search comment will display automatically without the need of mouse over the icon.

JP side asked for more lore related quests.

こんばんは。
世界設定についての続報です。
開発チーム内で検討を続け、新生版からは世界設定を題材としたクエストを実装する予定です。
その他にも、NPCがその地域についてのことを説明してくれたりなど、
より世界観を身近に感じられるような機能の実装も予定しています。
Good evening,
Here's an update to lore setting.
The development team has continued looking into this one and they are planning to release quests releated to lore in ARR. Also there will be NPC's explaining the regions to get you more into the lore. Such features is planned to be released.

Triary is only scratching the tip of the iceberg here.

Fernehalwes has already told us that there will be whole sequences of quests that:
- wrap up what happened after we were Athyk'd away to a time rift;
- discuss what beings fall into what categories on the god/demi-god/spirit catergorisation;
- wrap up what was going on in the main scenario quests;
among many other things.

We also will often get replies from him that says "I'd love to answer your questions, but that would be spoilers. You'll have to wait till 2.0". I've actually lost count.

So, yes, LOTS of story and lore alliteration in the realm reborn. And hopefully a lore-specific sub-forum soon.

Seems like Connect On has a scoop interview with Yoshi-p regarding the beta and so on. I haven't left the house yet but I'll see if I can find it today.

Yeah this sounds like the 3 part main scenario they mentioned awhile ago.

Cross-posting from the other forum where I posted my translation of Connect! On March issue.

Had a glance at Connect! On. Some nice details in the rather long interview:

There are about 40 mini pet things (like the Baby-Behemoth) ready. We'll know exactly what role they serve in phase 1 of the beta. The 3 things in the Year of the Snake illustration are included in that 40. (For what purpose exactly has got me thinking. Some people on 2ch are thinking they might have some kind of retainer role!)

Gear-sets have a completely new system from what was shown, I guess they didn't like how it had some restrictions. Will get to test in phase 3.

Housing will be released immediately after launch.

2013 will bring in Housing and PvP (certain). There's no certainty that the long raids will be concluded in 2013 though. There should be 1~2 primal battles implemented too.


They're in talks regarding the advancement of raids and so on via Live updates. They're not sure if it'll happen (Perhaps just Yoshi-P's thoughts) but something to do with the recovery of Alamigo.

The place where you'll find Odin is indeed the black shroud. I'm guessing it's a place we've not yet seen. He's described as not being a normal interactive primal, he is one who has no recollections, having forgotten the meaning of his existence. It won't be a normal battle.

It wasn't shown clearly in the opening movie but actually an alarming amount of people survived the 7th Umbral era (Bahamut's attack). To these survivors we, the adventurers who were transferred into the future, are known as "hollow beings".

Behemoth will be tackled via the FATE system. There'll be many steps to go through in the fight to defeat him. Made it so it'll be fun with a large number of people. Will be in at launch.

You won't be able to just "walk" right into Crystal Tower. (I'm assuming this means there are pre-requisite quests)

Sahagin's will be in at launch.

As regions expand they will probably add more primals per new beastman tribe or something.

As for changing jobs in dungeons being possible or not, they're thinking it'll be good to be able to change in between content.

Players who have come from 1.0 and new players will be treated differently by NPCs. It's not a big difference and it will even out at later stages in the story. Legacy players will kind of be having the "stronger new game" kind of thing going.

Some other stuff was talking about the functions of the smart phone application.

Oh, and a question was asked about DRG having a pet, which was replied to with "Not just Dragoons..." (Hmm. )

Edit: some other stuff I forgot:

Regarding keeping in touch with the users: For In-game purposes the development team are going to establish a free company. He encourages players to come give them a belting in PvP. As for out of the game, they're considering some kind of small round-table events and so on (ala. Vanafest, I suppose.)

When are flying mounts coming? - If the Ahriman is good, it's just a matter of being on the stand-by list for implementation. (I'm not sure this means it's a "real" flying mount)

Any other secrets from A New Beginning trailer? - The warrior left something behind 5 years ago (Bravura lol)

Urianger was a temporary NPC and is taking a brief break.

"Hollow Beings..." Oh dear me....
