    So... Where's the English? (Tokyo FanFest Stream)

    So... Parts of the Keynote get live translation but nothing else does? And the English "recaps" assume I watched over an hour in a language I don't know to see any visuals and explain little in the pathetically small amount of time they're given.

    So how do I get a refund?

    There's no point in paying a damn thing if I could just read it all on Reddit faster, and with more comprehensive and accurate information, than the official stream and "recaps". Really, really disappointed with this and expected better treatment after how E3 was handled.

    So uhh.. You knew what you were getting? It specifically said recaps, not live translations.

    Its more being able to watch it and see stuff vs reading on reddit.

    If the recaps were worthwhile I wouldn't complain. Really. But the Keynote recap didn't cover much of the content discussed and repeatedly goes "man that visual was great, wasn't it?" while showing nothing. Recap would kinda imply that it goes over it all, including revisiting videos and pictures, like they did with E3 recaps and segments.

    We had a live translation of the Keynote by Koji. Why repeat all of the details when we had already heard them all?

    As for how to get a refund, no idea. Contact support I guess. They should at least be able to point you in the right direction.

    Recap... Well, recap. Live Letter? Nope! Twenty minutes between its end and the Costume Contest start filled with ten minutes of set re-arrangement with (what I think was) laptop advertising and another ten minutes of talking about The Primals concerts both past and future. So the Live Letter didn't even follow the stated "English-language recaps after each segment" format at all.

    Because I tuned in at the one-hour mark expecting them to follow the format they'd stated, having English recaps afterwards, and didn't see the point in sitting through it once in a language I don't know and again in one that I do. Except, of course, the recap was pretty sad and wasted a chunk of time showing off con swag that anyone watching the stream could only get off of EBay. Hence my disgruntled state.

    Literally on the description of what you bought: "The Fan Festival 2016 in Tokyo stage events will be hosted in Japanese, and English-language summaries and recaps will take place between the on-stage events."

    My only real complaint is it would have been nice what was being discussed with the guest directors. Especially in the live letter. A lot was being said, too bad it was all in Japanese with nothing reviewed or recapped in English.
