So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

[Fevelle]

I'm not seeing anything in either of the links that guy has on the reddit where YP supposedly talks about number of new jobs being related to the event. The only thing I saw about jobs at all was that the interviewer was trying to get YP to confirm whether Samurai would be in based on what was said in the "Developer's Room" (in game YP character), and YP says that he doesn't know why people choose to believe that when they don't normally trust what he says about other things.

Here is, the second blog post (seems to have been linked wrong in the Reddit thread).

Oh, and one other thing about what YP says about the Samurai comment in the Developer's room. He says that in Japanese, if you read the dialogue from top to bottom and right to left (traditional Japanese style), it spells out "itsumo arigatou". So the reason they chose the words they used was to spell out "itsumo arigatou", not as hints.

No, no.

First the question was "Can you make job-specific swimsuits for each job?" To which YP responds: "Well, maybe at least each role".

Then he goes on to say, "But if we made job-specific swimsuits for each job, I wonder how many that would be." To which he then says, "Oops, I can't say". Because if he said, then we would know how many new jobs there would be in 4.0.

That's weird... because saying how many role specific swimsuits wouldn't hint at how many new jobs we're getting unless their adding a new role. DPS, Tank and Healer, the only 4th role you could fit into that is Support. Or if we look at it from Melee, Ranged Physical, Ranged Magical, Tank and Healer. Is RDM gonna to create a new role? Like Hybrid... but I'm 100% sure it's Ranged Magical. I'm not doubting your translation but this seems a little odd.

Edit: **** I just re-read that last quote you translated. Nvm! Bolded the quote to see I'm stupid

Edit 2: Interesting translation though, and makes a lot of sense. You can see how people mistranslated and misinterpreted this information. Better question though is why wasn't this translated sooner? You'd think the translating community would catch on when this information has spread like wildfire. Ah well.

Unfortunately I think far too many people rely on Google Translate to translate these articles. I ran the blog through GT and I can definitely see how someone might misinterpret what was said based on what GT says. And frankly, it's hard for the translation community to keep up since these things do spiral out of control. I mean, as for myself, every time I saw a link for the supposed source article, it linked to something completely different... so in this case it was likely just a problem with bad sourcing.

If you swim on the beach and dive to have some fun, but suddenly get attacked...
Wouldn't you like to have your combat gear on to fight that threat? Still, isn't it too heavy to get back up on the surface?!
That's why a famous "wandering crafter", previously known as "wandering minstrel" designed some cute swimsuits to prevent you from drowning, but still strong enough to fight underwater!

If this thread is any indication, the requisite "I told you so" and "SE should have done this" posts on the 18th are going to be so bitter.

Lol yep. I'm going to go cry in a corner when they don't announce a new healer.

1:1:1 is unsustainable, so it's for the best.

I'm going to say, "Wow, that's cool. Can't wait to level that." Then if they announce/hint at a third job, I'll say, "Wow, that's awesome. Can't wait to level that one too."

[Vexander]

Well, since Kaeden has been kind enough to clarify the mis-translations, particularly in regard to the Moonfire Faire comments, I'll have to change my position.

The job to be announced at the EU Fanfest will be Samurai, because now I don't see them adding a third class, and I just do not see them -NOT- adding Samurai in Stormblood given all the information we've obtained. Bit of a pity given Spiderman is the most obvious reference to Blue Mage ever, but what else can you do? I just cannot see SE -not- adding Samurai in Stormblood. I would be shocked if they didn't.
