Live Letter XVI Discussion Thread

[TheUltimate3]

They're usually pretty good about translating the questions and answers (not the actual chit chatting though) on a forum post as the live letter goes on... I'm assuming we'll see a mod post about it soon.

I doubt it.

I'm aware of that, but there is still a lot that goes right under the radar until we get an unofficial site post a summary.

Translation of the Q&A portion is all great and good- but it isn't the full story.

It's a darn shame SE won't give us live letters in all supported languages. I understand they are a Japanese company and I don't even mind having the live letters in a convenient JP time. But to leave all but one of the supported languages in the dark is a real slap in the face to the rest of the (just as loyal) player base. Sad

Honestly, the lack of official live translation is starting to grind my gears a little. I'm sure at least 50% of the player base is English speaking

To be fair though, a lot of English based companies hardly accommodate to their foreign players when they do streams so this isn't really anything new in the industry. There's almost always a translation of the important stuff (Q&A) during/after the stream.

20 minutes in and nothing yet. Without a translation this is meaningless. Yoshi needs to start flashing some pics of stuff so we can start speculating with nothing to go by but a quick glimpse of a piece of paper Yoshi held up. That's always fun.

Kinda sucks they all having fun and laughing and joking and we have absolutely no clue whats going on.

No one is left in the dark. Besides, even in Japanese he doesn't say much or explain anything - He's almost always only saying "here's..."something" that' we're working on", never any true specifics. Remember the armors he shown us before and even with translations there was still speculation?

Well the first bit seems to be talking about frontlines.

Oh and I am not in the positino right now to take any screencaps. So if Yoshi starts holiding up papers with concept arts, can someone snap those?

Live Letter posted on eu lodestone, in english, during gmt afternoon etc. I understand they're Japanese company, but this is the last live letter for me. The hype before one, only to realize i won't understand a damned thing, I'm done with it.
