If you are going to do a Live Letter

[Daralii]

Ironic for someone with Nier in their sig. Yoko Taro is a gift and I watched explicitly for him. Every minute with him on stage is worth more than gold.

Yoshida: "Does this look like FFXIV at all anymore?"
Yoko Taro: "It's not too late to turn back Yoshida-san."
[....]
Yoko Taro: "So do you want to talk about Saito-san's divorce again?"

Yes, but WHY is it still Japanese only. After 6 years, and having more non JP subscribers, are we still not important enough?

...Because they are Japanese? And its at Tokyo Gameshow?
Man, is America this self important that it can't wait till after the Live Show to get it Translated afterwards?

I don't really see what the location has to do with addressing your subscribers... If the majority of them don't speak Japanese...

Actually I'm in Europe, but that's another thing... the official translations usually takes days, sometimes even weeks. Why are they not already prepared ready to be posted?

Easy, they are in Japan, at a Japanese event, and they are Native Japanese Speakers. Simple No?
So while they do the Live event in their Native Tongue, everyone Non-Japanese will get a Translation afterwards. Nobody gets left out.

Fair Enough, your European.
Same Difference, just wait like the rest of us Non-Japanese Speakers. If you tried following anything, the next patch wont release till Late Next Month, so there will be PLENTY of time to read up on whats coming once its Translated.

I'm getting so tired of this attitude. It shows that people like you have strong dislike for Americans. Playing this game must hurt your soul. How do you live with yourself? Yes sir I am triggered, because I am American, and I am certainly not self important. In fact I am told I care too much about you...humans..

Also not everyone here is American. YES the majority of people posting here are on the US servers, but that doesn't mean they are from or living in America.

...Ok just to let you know, Im an American as well.
I dont hate America, thats just silly, and no I actually love this game Ive been paying to play it nearly 4 years and counting.... I hope to pay to Play it till its conclusion if things go right with life, Finances, and the Dev team.

So most of what you said is way over the top. lmao
But my main point remains, they are Japanese, they will release a translation later.

80-103% of WoW players are Chinese, yet they still do everything in English.

People stick to the language and comfort zones they know.

Quality translations usually follow on pretty quickly.

SE treats it’s NA customers very well compared to most global game operations. How many Blizzcons have been in Shanghai? Let alone Seoul Korea - the country that is the sole reason Blizzard survived the decade between Warcraft 2 and WoW... When was the last time NCSoft showed up for anything for one of ArenaNet’s GW2 events? All NCSOFT does for its NA customers is cancel their games if the home market has dropped off...

We get constant attention and care by SE that goes above and beyond what would be normal.

Uh, not to be that guy, but, you can't have 103% in this situation. Math no worky that way :P

/facepalm...

Tell me you aren’t actually that flat of a person... if it’s obvious that a number is not possible then maybe consider its being for the purpose of exaggeration...

Especially in the context of all these folks complaining at how horrible SE treats MA because they have some minor inconvenience which is countered by so much goodwill from SE towards its international audience.

[Valic]

I'm more concerned at how they've been talking for almost an hour straight with no visuals or anything.
