    From the lodestone post for the upcoming live letter.

    Truly sad times. It's a sad day when the official source is slower than fan translations.

    Ok, so its just the immediate translation that wont be up but they will still be releasing the full digest once its fully translated. Better than I thought but still not as good as I hoped. I dont twitter so I guess I just have to watch for the fan translations.

    We shouldn't be expected to use Twitter to keep up to date with the game. Especially not when Facebook was recently exposed at mishandling private data - and let's not pretend as if there isn't a decent chance that other major social media companies are tied to the same shady dealings, either. This is the official site for FFXIV. It most definitely should be one of the primary sources for FFXIV related information.

    Then don't use Twitter? All the key points and relevant info from the live letter will be posted with the digest to the official site.

    Last 3-4 live letter digests weren't bad honestly in time span between update thread and digest. ~2 weeks for 3 of the 4 live letters and the Dec one took 30 days because of holiday. Could certainly be faster and hopefully with cutting the update thread it'll be within the week.

    They have an OFFICAL forum and for some reason they aren't using it. I don't feel being told to go to a third party site to get info is acceptable.
    Twitter isn't providing much information anyway, so I guess we'll be relying on Fan Translations. As to the time it takes for the digest to come out, your definition of 'not bad' and mine are very different.

    I agree that I might be overblowing it, maybe they will expedite the process, but imho since as I said a Japanese player won't really have a problem in listening to a N/A, EU w/e LL because yoshida answers are always in japanese, I don't think it wouldn't be fair for them to provide an eng translator during LL in japan especially when they do have eng speaking personell on board

    Edit: Well the latest RMT report had a BOT section added to it, interesting

    Nothing on bots in the Q&A, nothing of note on twitter, you need to go to a fan translation to understand anything that's being released, and another sub item on top of all that?

    Yeah, communication is a severe issue with this game. It's hard to pretend they take the non Japanese playerbase even remotely seriously with this second-class customer treatment.
