Tour of the office/meet the dev team.

[Ralos]

One of the things I've really come to enjoy about this game is the closeness with the dev team.
I feel like you don't get that so much with other MMOs. I remember playing FFXI for a long time before going to the first FFXI fan festival and seeing a few faces of the dev team for the very first time. yet here we get to see yoshi-P's mug all the time, as well as a few other select indiviuals every now and then, as well as chat with community reps on the forums. (I feel the player community doesn't always appreciate this aspect of the game enough but that's for another thread.((read: I won't be posting about it beyond this)).)

So I had a kind of idea for a video that I thought would be cool.
It came from two sources: First, during one of the live letters from the producer, they mentioned that they were actually filming in Yoshi-P's office and mentioned where the furniture in the room was such as his desk and I thought to myself "Well are you gonna show us or just talk about it?" Maybe I'm just wierd but I was very curious about what the rest of his office actually looked like which lead to me wondering what their entire work space was like.

Second, someone mentioned in another thread (I don't remember who or where, sorry) that it would be a cool idea to do more live letters but with different members of the dev team since Yoshi is of course a very busy man.

Which brings me to my idea: I think it would be cool if they did a video showing us around the office while introducing to the dev team and who works where. They can do it in segments or in one big video (and it would be cool of course if they would release a little game info at the same time) but this was just an idea I'd been thinking about.

Like I said, maybe I'm weird. What do you all think? cool idea? stupid? discuss (read: I mean discuss and not argue or start stupid fights.)

I was actually considering posing this same kind of question for the next "Letter from the Producer Live".

Would love to see the faces and words from those behind the scenes of the grueling work involved so they can spread some of that community loving Yoshi has been pushing for.

...nevermind.

Great idea, Ralos!

I'll pass it along to Yoshi-P personally, and see if we can't work on putting something together--if not videos, then at least some photos.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

Ohhh coool!

But... I was kinda expecting to get some DvD with a beyond the scenes on ARR for the CE edition or something like that, along with the rest of the contents of the CE of course, but I guess that can happen along with a "meet the devs" photo/video tour earlier .

Edit: you are going to see if you can't put something together?

It's a figure of speech. Like most things to do with the english language, it makes sense only so long as you do not over analyze it lol.

I think this would be a great idea!

Opening up the team for people to learn about and know what their roles are and the work they've put into this game would build an even stronger relationship and understanding between player and developer!

Who knows? Maybe they can do a week by week or bi-weekly video recording session and compile it all into a big video documentary telling of their story and their challenges on bringing this game back, their thoughts collectively on the whole project and experience, and what they do to bring the game back to life!

And BTW... Fernehalwes...

You are the mother !@#$ing man dude!!! Thanks for being awesome!
