    2 of the 3 articles I posted state he said it was going to be a solo job, here's a third (as well as another 10 years one), and a fourth and I'm sure I can dig up more. So considering there's an abundance reporting on him saying he wants it as a solo job, and only a single one saying he said he didn't, you have no place to say anything like which one is the "intended" one, or which one is Yoshida's "exact words".
    Seriously? I frankly can't believe that you are.

    Neither of the "sources" you link here are quotes from Yoshida. They are reposts of the same garbage paraphrases you posted before.

    You have linked precisely ONE article that shows what Yoshida ACTUALLY SAID and that wasn't a paraphrase/summary and you're attempting to ignore and throw out the only valid source in favor of second hand BS.

    What you're doing is exactly like climate change deniers. They ignore what scientists actually say and instead choose to listen to the noisy crackpots that fit their confirmation bias.

    News sites and blogs summarizing things he said during the panel apparently doesn't qualify as reporting on what he said unless it's phrased exactly as quotations from him apparently. People commenting as they watched the panel live, their feedback and reactions confirming the same information is apparently incorrect somehow.

    Yeah we're done here, I'm not going to waste anymore time with you.

    Wait. Wut?

    Are you arguing that second hand information is as credible as first hand information?

    All the sources I posted are not second hand information, they're all various news outlets and blogs that reported on the event, Kaedan is arguing that only the Famitsu article counts because it listed it's information in the form of a quote instead of simply reporting on it, whereas I've posted a variety of sources including ones featuring commentary/reactions from watchers of the event during it. These are all situations of first hand information.

    Yes, that's exactly what it means... when the paraphrase/summary does not accurately reflect what was said.

    You are aware that there are thousands and millions of reposts of information on the internet that are worthless because they summarize the content inaccurately, aren't you? Especially when it comes to translations.

    As the poster above me says, a first hand source is always more credible than a second hand source. You have a first hand source stating what YP actually says. If anything else from a second hand source contradicts that source, then the second hand source is wrong. Period.

    And yet just because it's typed in the form of a quote must mean it's 100% correct as well? Despite there being numerous outlets, reactions, and commentary contrasting the one singular entry that contradicts it? That's not to say it's not impossible for the majority to be wrong of course, but when you're clinging to one article as if it's infallible on top of not even having seen the panel it came from yourself is a bit ridiculous.

    You don't get to hand wave any article not conforming to your idea as being second hand information. You have zero evidence what's first hand and what's second hand, they're all reporting the same event, many of which during the live-stream as it happened, it doesn't get more first hand then that.

    When I don't have access to the direct source itself, then yes, I will trust a source that offers what it claims to be direct quotes of YP over summary blurbs. Especially when that source is an official, professional organization over random bloggers. And yes, they are random bloggers that you have listed. Not a single one of the links you provided except for Famitsu (which is the one that claims to actually quote YP rather than summarize) is a professional news reporter.

    But hey, I'm more than willing to provide you an accurate translation of what YP actually says if you want to give me access to the video somehow. Until such time, I'm going to accept that the professional organization is actually quoting YP when they claim to be actually quoting YP. There are millions of people who believe in gods... having a lot of something doesn't make it credible.
