Translations (JP to English)

Yeah lol, got wiped means it's gonna be fun!

Well, just a feeling and hope.

Yep need more challenging stuff like this to test our skills, hopefully it's going to be really fun.
(until someone finds a system to make it boring and farming... which I wish doesn't happen, but normally does...)

Oh right, I haven't thanked you for translating all these! Thanks! I just read it and never replied, but I always do the "Like" button :P

[leomax]

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for us on a daily basis, its very much appreciated.

Didn't want to start a new thread to test this... so gonna test it here.
It's temporary poll feature I found until we get to use the official one. Once poll is calculated need to post the results but seems to be working imo.

Poll: Testing Poll

• wut?
• this is pretty cool
• website devs release the forum polls already..lol
• (Results) - view results.

Here is a way to make your own polls (for now + if you want to)

This is a great thread.

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

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
