FFXIV Live Discussion and Re-Cap

[Murugan]

I agree, a Japanese developed game is being harmed by having a Q&A session in it's native language, it's almost like Western developed games having Q&A sessions in English harmed the game as well.

Oh wait.

Oh really Jennestia? So do American developers advertise a live broadcast of an upcoming live event IN JAPANESE on their official JAPANESE WEBSITE with not a single mention that the event will be entirely in Japanese?

Yeah silly us for expecting it to actually be translated.....

The chocobo looks slow as crap...

i bet it'll get stuck on mundane clipping sections just like normal characters still lol

[Catapult]

50% complete with content... interesting.

[Jennestia]

but lol @ even devs playing in Windowed Mode

What about it? You do know in Game Development things are technically always "windowed"..right?

#XIVLive Q: Will you be able to attach materia to equipment created via the old recipes?

A: We will not be allowing materia craft to be used in conjunction with the old equipment. Apologies for this.

[wolfwing]

yeah, I'm wondering what they will consider 100%? 4th town, new classes and such? WHats after that first expansion or what. or do they mean 50% from release quality?

WHERE DOES IT SAY IT IS ONLY IN JAPANESE??????????

[Oscillate_Wildly]

Try to translate everything what they say if you're sitting beside them >_> and throw it on a subtitle. If you can manage that, they can hire you =x

It's being translated. Just rather slow and picky on the twitter EN account. =D

That's what translators do. >____>; It's called a dub, and they could hire someone to translate on site to dub over the japanese from a different room. What do you think translators for political officials do? Get a transcript from foreign ambassadors and translate later in the evening in their leisure time?

I admit that takes a lot more foresight, but telling non-japanese players to tune in to participate is a bit...how are you going to know how they answer your question? Check back later? It defeats the purpose of tuning in live.

Yeah silly us for expecting it to actually be translated..... this is bullshit. I'm sorry you are such a god damn Japanophile you see no issue here.

You are probably glad it isn't translated.

Hey genius. Open your eyes next time where it says clearly on their updates that it'll be Japanese-only.
