Hello everyone!
This is Fernehalwes, back again with another one of my inimitably witty posts for the Developers’ Bl—

Huh? What’s the meaning of this!? Unhand me, you treacherous voidse—

...Ahem! Please disregard that little outburst, folks. Fernhalwes is feeling a bit under the weather today, and it has fallen to me, Pinurabi, to do the blogging. Let’s hop right to it, shall we?

We have a couple of photos to share with you today. First up is a snapshot of Yoshi-P playing the Alpha Test in his office, having fun chatting with our testers.

Errr…that doesn’t look like Yoshi-P’s office…nor do those fetching young ladies appear to be testing the game. Maybe they’re taking a break or something?

Ahhh, here it is—the photo I meant to put up! Sorry about that!

Moving on, we have something from a little while back. It’s a scene inside the office taken at the precise instant the Alpha Version went live.

There was much holding of breath leading up to that moment, and you could’ve cut the tension with a knife. But owing to the tireless efforts of our alpha testers, we’ve gone on to have a successful alpha, with veritable mountains of valuable feedback collected. Thanks, everyone!

American girls have such a weakness for foreigners, yet the same cannot be said of girls in other countries. T_T

That was funny. Notice in the picture where he's sitting in front of the computer that it looks like there's actually a time of day implemented. It looks like it's either sunrise or sunset. Either that or my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Err yeah..XI and XIV had day-night cycles too lol. Unless you mean for that particular build, we already know our Alpha version isn't really the main client they're working on so it was locked pretty tight on stuff.

Yoshi's keyboard looks like it is a family heirloom...

Just sayin... lol

Thanks Fernbatty and Pinurabi for the post - a lot of us dream about standing in there, probably would explode and they'd fear to let Americans in again... 'Warning gaijin instantaneous explosive combustion imminent, keep outside'

Foreign girls have no desire for american girls? ? lol


I can assure foreign desire goes both ways, little nuances of culture behavior excluded.

Edit:

Batty, the awesome chocobo armor is still stuck on Dec. 13 - I thought that was a mistakeu :P

Idk, I've met plenty of Japanese and Korean women who just adore tall American guys.
