At E3, Dev Team: NO English Patch Notes Reading? :(

[Kiara]

To: FF NA Team,

So on Lodestone, it's been announced Yoshi P will be doing a Heavensward Patch Notes Reading (Live!) at E3 this year (great). Except... it's in Japanese Only.

It's E3, the biggest Videogames Convention in North America, and the big Heavensward Patch Notes unveil and live discussion will have Zero English Language Support?

Please reconsider or at least have some kind of Secondary Stream where Bayohne, Fern and the rest of the great NA Community Team can *talk* about the Patch Notes as Yoshi P is reading it?

Or else it feels like a disservice to all Non-Japanese Speakers.

Thanks!

"During the show we’ll be hosting a few live streams to help bring the excitement of E3 and Heavensward hype directly to you!

Heavensward (Preliminary) Patch Note Reading
Yoshida and Foxclon will be reading over the preliminary patch notes for Heavensward!

Broadcast start time:
Tuesday, June 16, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. (PDT)
* Presented in Japanese only."

It is kinda weird that, at an American convention, the only language this reading is available in is Japanese.

I definitely agree that someone like Bayohne or Koji should translate this, especially as this is, again, an American convention. It'd be like an english-exclusive panel at TGS. It's just weird.

I saw the same this morning and was extremely disappointed.

I just think that translating all those notes would be too long, that is why, still disappointed but i kinda understand, reading and waiting for translation for 2-3 hours could be painful

It's going to have to be translated anyways when they post it on the lodestone so why not get a head start on it now?

as if patch notes reading is so much fun to listen to... so far you could always read it by yourself and the small additional info they provided were usually just explaining certain changes

[DarkDedede]

Well if they release the English patch notes before or during the reading, then I won't mind as much.

This. Would rather read them myself as there going to be loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-



--ooooooooooooooong. That way I can re-read stuff I may have missed. But I do agree with OP. Why even bother doing it at E3 if its not in English? They can just do it any other time...

[silverhope]

why bother reading it at all? im sure no one is gonna show up to that panel. might as well make it a meet and greet with the fans
