Dear The entire country of Japan,
Hello. I am Alt. I'm one of the officers of the endgame LS "Rapture co" on the server Wutai (which is a duh, this is the Wutai forums). We have a lot of members from various places like the Us, UK, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and Japan so were pretty damn diverse. Any who, I am speaking on behalf of myself so here is what I have to say.
This morning I awoke and got a text from a friend of mine that there had been an earthquake+tsunami+fire+nuclear plant not wanting to shut down+blackouts. First thoughts were "Oh **** Syu and May!". After checking forums I found Syu is ok and so is my RL friend May (phew!). However lucky those two were a lot of people were not and I bet some of our Japanese friends on Wutai may have lost a relative or two. To those people and their families I am sorry for your loss(es). To those looking for family members or friends I hope you find them. As for Hawaii and the west coast I hope that everything is ok there (I know Washington is fine, 1.7ft wave) and everyone's family is safe.
Also I have something to say to Naoki Yoshida and square enix staff. I think there are offices in Tokyo (which got hit) so I hope everyone there and their families are safe. It is 100% understandable if there isn't a patch for a long time and I would rather that y'all take your time to settle family matters than stress on getting a patch out. But you don't need my permission for that o-o;; do what you guys do best! I'd like to take the time for thanking you for making this game enjoyable over the past few months. It has improved a lot and has provided a lot of memorable experiences I'll keep with myself for the rest of my life. Thank you.
I know this isn't quite on topic or game related but mind you its something that is important. Specifically the whole human aspect of it. Even with some of our Server rivalries we gotta stop every once in awhile to join give others best wishes. Just sayin. If you devs or moderators up there could find a way to translate this letter (if you feel its necessary or want to) so that the Japanese players or staff can understand my disjointed rambles that would be awesome. D: I'd like to at least let them know I (or whoever else wishes to add to this) hope they are doing ok and I don't speak Japanese so its kind of hard to do that ;_;!. Don't have to though.
Any who in short. Japan, my heart is with you. Please be safe and I wish you well on recovery. Stay strong *fist bump*.
