Letter from the Producer Vi

[Abriael]

I might get crap for saying this, but if they have members on their team whose family are stuck in danger zones, they should probably give them some room to deal with that before worrying about our patches. It isn't healthy to just be stuck and not move on and allow yourself to recover from something so traumatic, but it's also not going to help pushing yourself back into work when you have family still in potential danger.

Traveling in japan at the moment is a mess, so keeping people in tokyo is a good way to keep them safe.
Working is also a good way not to think too much about the situation, and not to fall prey to depression.

we were never actualy told this, a ton of people "Assumed" it based on the given information(which was none really).

either way we will have real info shortly to go on and people can stop assuming what it will be.

that video is about all we know about anything, "if" you speak the language, which i dont, and everyone who has commented on it is pretty much assuming as i have yet to ever see an actual translation of the video. does it even go on to mention that is even about companies at all is another good question there.

Yes it is about companies... My friend speaks Japanese and he said it was mainly about crafting in groups.

[Roxy]

thx god they are ok

and that was my point entirely "my friend said so" doesnt exactly make anything official.
anyone can claim anything they want and claim its true, until we see something official, i wont take anything as truth
doing so only leads to many many misleading arguements down the road where people think they were promised something they werent

[Griss]

The only concrete info we have on the companys is that they are coming in some way shape or form. there has been tid bits that came out from the ebisu event and from other interviews. but we have absolutely no idea what they are and what there roll with in the game will be.

The thing that has me most excited is that we are finally going to be getting some solid info on them since they were first mentioned almost seven to eight months ago. if i recall correctly the concept of company built ships granting access to large scale pve content was mentioned some where in the span between then and now. my shell mates and i have also been thinking that some interesting pvp content could come from it as well. but little has been said in the way of offical news regaurding them other then were working on them and there coming. Still i am excited to find out about them after all this time, and from the tone of the producer letter the dev team is excited to finally let us in on what they have been cooking up

I think my friend is a pretty good source considering he lived in Japan for a full year, but think what you wish. I think it's pretty obvious just by looking at the video. Why don't you go study Japanese then translate it for us?

[Frebaut]

Its really weird, i mean to get excited about this because of all the devastation and tragedy that is going on in Japan.

you still dont get the point
your friend is in no way shape or form official, he doesnt workj for SE, he doesnt work on the game specificaly, all he did was translate something(or claim to have)

get the point?

griss got it spot on above, we have had NO OFFICIAL word period

i completely welcome the OFFICIAL word on it coming up
