Dissapointed With The Live Letter

[Vahlnir]

Well, I guess it's good to know that I wasted time and gil to get the required materials for crafted primal weapons. Time to sell now that they've hit an all time low price...

This isn't game breaking, but man it kinda hurts. I was looking forward to these so much. But I knew this was a possibility, so I guess I just need to keep myself focused on the future. There will be some great weapon designs available I'm sure.

First off all, they ignored some of the most liked questions like missingg genders and such, but that was expected.

oh please lets nto start with the missing genders passive aggresive-ness, we all know how this finishes.... *SIGH*

Let's not, indeed.

Don't lead your post with a remark on it and then be surprised that people talk about it.

I'm not going to continue this thread of discussion, but you set the precedent from the beginning.

And then plays the victim and quickly changes subject.

I don't know, the tone of this live letter seemed really off to me personally from previous installments. Previous letters seemed upbeat, fun, and playful (teasing things for future content, showing pictures, being more gracious towards the playerbase). This one seemed more defensive, standoffish, and just really flustered.

Yoshi also mentioned how he asked us to be more polite with our feedback, so maybe that has something to do with it too. I can't say I disagree with him.

He looked drained, maybe just tired, maybe the just 'everything', but yeah looked a bit like he'd have fun relaxing with a beer than doing the stream lol. Hopefully he'll feel better and feel recharged soon, or we're just misreading the situation and he's fine.

Could just be a massive work overload, and the guy is like SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEP and then work is like: "SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!!! GET BACK HERE!" lol. /comfort Let's bring him our new bed mount for a power nap .

I wonder if when he says that feedback can be too rough if he's actually talking about us though. I imagine unless he's reading our stuff himself then wouldn't a lot of it get translated into core concepts and not literal translations?

#@$@# !@#$!@# @# $!@#$@# job !$@#$@# !@#$@# change.

Gets translated into "A number of English players really want to see changes to blue mage, and here are some examples they gave". Meanwhile their Japanese forum isn't always polite (and especially when you move off into anon boards and stuff like that), something that the Devs would/could read without a filter like we probably have due to translation and aggregate feedback reports. Not that I'm saying we have a free pass to be rude, I'd hope any relationship is mutual respect and even I've tried to adjust how I leave feedback since long ago (not that I'm perfect lol, but I've attempted to have things be constructive and just feedback).

I agree. I definitely have criticisms on his decisions with resources and choice with what is priority in this game... however he's still a person. I got pretty worried about his rest after seeing the dramatic tone shift in this live letter compared to others. I really hope he gets rest. I know he's such a busy person, but he can't take care of the game if he's not taking care of himself, right?

He was definitely tired, could see that. Maybe even stressed out some from how his neck muscles looked. I don't mind the live letter though, they answered the top rated comments that were gathered, people forgetting there are other languages in these forums too =P Let's just hope he gets some rest.

They ignored a pretty massive amount of questions directed at healers, which has the healer forums in a small uproar.

Anyone got the translation or a video for translation?
