Remaining Survey Answers to be Revealed Next Week in Producer Letter XXIX

[Rane]

こんばんは。

Good evening.


はい、残りのアンケート結果は、来週公開予定の第29回プロデュサーレターでお伝えします。
もちろん追加種族についてのアンケート結果もありますので、楽しみにお待ちください。

Yes, the remaining Players' Poll results will be posted in Letter from the Producer #29, which is planned for next week. Naturally, that includes the question related to new races.

So, it looks like the juicy questions will get answered next week. Viera concept art incoming?

Whatever we end up getting during E3, I hope it includes some screenshots of the new areas. I don't think there were any survey questions related to that, though....

The more interesting questions were left unanswered lol. One can hope with the race/class/job question they might actually show off some images/examples of what they have planned based on the answers given. Which would be nice cause then it would make more sense as to why these question were held off for a week to answer them closer to the E3 2.0 reveal.

Yep, I think these questions were deliberately postponed to coincide with the "public reveal" of 2.0 at E3. So hopefully the answers will be accompanied by the revelation that some of this stuff will definitely be making it into 2.0. And like you said, it would be even better if there were screenshots as well.

Thank you for posting the list of questions and answers. I had forgotten about a lot of these. Given that all of the crafting and gathering related questions were held back as well, it stands to reason that next week we might get new info about changes to those systems in 2.0.

Still cant believe he has done so many letters, dedication!

[Rukkirii]

As Rane has mentioned, the remaining results of the survey will be released next week in the 29th Letter from the Producer. This will of course include the new race and clan question!

What do you think the top answers will be?

[Hachi-Roku]

Mixed heritage. You know the Mi'qote-Lalafell hybrid would be incredibly adorable.

[Zyph]

My predictions for Relaunch Question 1:
Top 3:

• The new graphics engine.
• New maps and level design.
• New classes and jobs.

[Khazar]

I hope the Viera wins and the mixed current races second

[Altanas]

I hope the question regarding jobs/classes is answered evenly across the board, because I would most certainly play all proposed classes >,>

Same with the races/clans question, more diverse variety makes a more interesting world even if I wouldnt play a certain race personally.
