Square Enix did a play demo for the first time of "Final Fantasy XIV: A realm Reborn" on the August 15th (local time) at the Gamescom 2012 show being held in Germany. Being unable to release footage of the play demo was extremely unfortunate, but in exchange we would like to explain the event in as much detail as possible. In addition, we also have an article detailing the screenshots introduced at the demo, so please take a look.

8月15日はビジネスデイということで、正確にはメディア、流通関係者向けへの限定公開ということになるが、一般公開日となる明日以降は、同じ内容で1日3回以上のデモンストレーションが予定されており、ヨーロッパのユーザーに向けて「FFXIV: 新生エオルゼア」が大々的に披露されることになる。
August 15th is a business day, so in actuality it is a limited release meant for distributors, but when it become a public release tomorrow they are planning on having a demonstration using the same material three times each day and making some great announcements for the European userbase.

　イベントでは、ドイツでスクウェア・エニックスタイトルの流通を担当するKOCH MEDIAブースのメインステージに、「FFXIV: 新生エオルゼア」プロデューサー/ディレクターの吉田直樹氏が登壇。ドイツ語で挨拶した後、スクリーンショットを見せながら自ら「FFXIV」について紹介し、今後「新生エオルゼア」として大幅リニューアルを計ることなどを説明した。
At the event, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn's producer/director, Yoshida Naoki made an appearance on the main stage of KOCH Media, the company responsible for distributing Square Enix titles in Germany. After greeting the audience in German, he introduced FFXIV while showing screenshots and discussed the widespread renovations they are planning in the "Reborn Eorzea".

グラフィックスに関しては、「MMORPG史上最高」と断言し、吉田氏としても自信を持って送り出せる内容に仕上がりつつあることを報告。ストーリーに関しても『ファイナルファンタジー』シリーズ最新作としてRPGらしさ、『FF』らしさを追求したものを提供することを約束した。
Regarding the graphics, Yoshida claimed they were "the best in MMORPG history" and said the content of the game was being made into a good enough quality for him to have confidence in it when he ships it out. Even regarding the story, he promised that he would present it with RPG-like qualities befitting the newest entry to the Final Fantasy series and also make sure it has the feeling of Final Fantasy.

　そして吉田氏は説明の最後にサプライズを用意。これまでインタビューで実装を明らかにしていた「FFVI」の魔導アーマー、「FFIII」のクリスタルタワーに続いて、「FFVII」のゴールドソーサーをカジノスポットとして実装する方針を明らかにした。少し長くなるが、吉田氏の発言を下記にまとめてみた。
And then Yoshida had prepared a surprise at the end of his explanation. He unveiled the plan for implementing the FFVI magitek armor, FFIII's Crystal Tower, as well as using FFVII's Golden Saucer as a casino location which he had revealed before in an interview. It's slightly long, but we have collected Yoshida's statements below.

吉田直樹氏「『FFXIV』は“Realm Reborn”という形で完全新生し、大きな飛躍を遂げようとしています。サーバーシステム、クライアントシステム、マップ、ユーザーインターフェイス、すべてを一新して、紛れもない『ファイナルファンタジー』シリーズの最新作として登場しますのでぜひご期待下さい。
Naoki Yoshida is completely renewing FFXIV as "A Realm Reborn" and achieving great leaps in progress. The server system, client system, map, user interface have all been renewed, and will be released as a new product with an unmistakably "Final Fantasy" feel, so please look forward to it.

グラフィックスに関しては、最高のゲームプレイとストーリーを提供する上で欠かせないと考えていて、『ファイナルファンタジー』シリーズとして提供する以上、長期間MMORPGとして楽しんで貰うためにMMORPG史上最高のものを用意して待っています。
Regarding the graphics, in order to give the best gameplay and story to the players we consider them indispensable, and as long as we release this as part of the "Final Fantasy" series, we are preparing it with the best graphics in MMORPG history in order to have our players enjoy it for a long period of time.

　ストーリーに関しては、MMORPGである前に、『ファイナルファンタジー』シリーズというRPGなので、『ファイナルファンタジー』らしいストーリーを用意して、ナンバリングタイトルのプライドを賭けて作っていますのでぜひ楽しみにしていてください。
In regards to the story, before it is an MMORPG, it's an RPG from the Final Fantasy series, so we are preparing a very "Final Fantasy" story and betting our pride on it as a numbered title, so please look forward to it.

　もちろん、シリーズでお馴染みのモーグリやチョコボも登場しますし、強力で巨大な召喚獣も用意してあります。イフリート、ガルーダ、タイタン、リヴァイアサン、シヴァ、オーディン、ありとあらゆる召喚獣を用意して、皆さんの挑戦を待っています。
Of course it will have characters we are familiar with like Moogles and Chocobos, and we are also preparing huge and powerful summoned beasts as well. Ifrit, Garuda, TItan, Leviathan, Shiva, Odin, we are preparing every possible summon and waiting for everyone to challenge them.

　もちろんそれだけではなく、過去の『FF』シリーズの要素を取り込んでいきます。たとえば、『FFVI』の魔導アーマーが登場したり、『FFIII』のクリスタルタワーがダンジョンとして登場したり、将来的には『FFVII』のゴールドソーサーでカジノができるようになるので、ぜひアップデートも楽しみにしてほしいです。
But of course that's not all. We are also bringing in past elements from the Final Fantasy series. For example, the Magitek Armor from FFVI or the Crystal Dungeon from FFIII. In the future the Gold Saucer from FFVII will also be available, so I really would like everyone to look forward to the updates.

ほかには、シリーズ初となる本格的なPvP、対人戦も用意しています。もちろん、PvPをやるようなコアプレーヤーだけではなく、カジュアルなプレーヤーのためにパブリックエリアで楽しめるコンテンツもたくさん用意しています。仕事が忙しいカジュアルなプレーヤーでも楽しめますし、自分のライフスタイルに合った楽しみ方が見つかると思うのでぜひ手にとって遊んでみて下さい
Aside from that, we are also preparing a full-blown PvP system for the first time in the series. This isn't just for the kind of core players who would do PvP though, as we also have prepared a lot of content in the public areas for casual players as well. Casual players who have busy workdays can enjoy it too and find a way to play it in accordance to their lifestyle, so please try it out.








May translate more of it later, please enjoy.

will also post reaction threads in gaming websites.

Good news! Looks like they've changed their mind regarding current players and the ARR beta.

Yoshida was quick to point out that players will have plenty of warning ahead of the shut down (consider this your first heads up). He also notes that the original game's userbase will be prioritized in A Realm Reborn's beta queue, and that players will "be able to use their current characters in the beta test as well." Though that may not be at the kickoff of the beta, he says, "we're working in a way to try to get it as close to the beginning of the beta test as possible."
