I can wave aside the whole Japanese language broadcast thing since we have the Q&A english interpretation, my main concern is that this is my first time using twitter, I'm using the #XIVLive tag, yet I don't think my tweets are communicating to them because I can't see my questions appearing in the #XIVLive list ... idk what I'm doing wrong :/

As they did tell us to follow on twitter, I would have thought that enough of a clue. But then since Twitter seems complicated to you, maybe not.

It was not the fact that Twitter was too complicated, it is because it is too cumbersome and limited in scope.

1. It failed to filter out any question that did not have a response.

2. When you did find a response you had to open a seperate window to see the full response.

3. All messages in all languages were shown. I am sure that my friends from around the world had valuable questions and comments. But because I have enough trouble with American let alone another language I was unable to share in them.

4. not everything Yoshi-P was saying was presented on Twitter. I missed most of the visual aspects such as the maps and the like because I was constantly scrolling through Twitter looking for nuggets of information.

I understand and respect the fact that Square is a Japanese company employing Japanese speaking people. What Square must realize is that their game extends far beyond the Home Islands and not everyone thinks and reacts to information the same. If they are going to continue to use YouTube to reach out to the whole community they must, at the very least, try to understand how we think and react to information presented. For most Westerners the proof is in the details, details, details.

#XIVLive Q: As a gamepad user, I find it difficult to scroll through the list of actions. Are there any plans to update the interface?

A: We will be working on updating the user interface not only for the gamepad, but for the keyboard/mouse users as well. Please be sure to provide us with your feedback.

#XIVLive Q: Will you be adding chocobo animations while on chocoback? Like waving while riding?
A: Currently we don’t have any plans for this, but if there are a lot of requests, we will look into it.

Q: I understand that the chocobos implemented now are male. Will there be a female chocobo?
A: Chocobos are heavily connected with Ishgard and come only from their at the moment. In order to maintain their exclusivity, currently only male chocobos are being given out to the rest of the city-states. Also when you name Chocobo, you might want to name them male-type names!

Perhaps I misunderstood things, but I was under the impression there would be a reason for those who do not speak Japanese to watch the live stream. I can't understand what it could be, unless they are going to dance like Uematsu did at that XI Fan Festival...
