NIGHT TIME!!

[Soukyuu]

That's awesome news but I got stuck on the bold words... so, Ferne is a she? Or is Ferne a liar and someone is writing the blog?

The "she" refers to the Japanese writer of the blog. Our version is written by Ferne using the material from the Japanese version. :P

If you look in the game's credits here then you'll see that the members of the English localisation team are Michael-Christopher Koji Fox, Steven Reinhart and Kenneth Pinyopusarerk. All names of guys. Hence the assumption that Fernehalwes is male and he has not attempted to correct us.

Ferne's posts also involve references to speaking with "M" regarding these things.

And as with all good things, there is probably some collaboration going on.

Oh right! Silly me for not reading the credits, haha.
Also, I thought "M" was more like a boss or something. But it must be a girls name like Miki, Mariko or something then.

Thanks! I'll try to knock on Square Enix's door when I head to Tokyo. xD
Can the common rabble like myself get a small tour (especially for FFXIV) if we go to Tokyo's headquarter?
(My Japanese is still bad though -- and I keep mixing some kansaiben in it because I can't recognize which is standard Japanese and which isn't, haha)

I'm sorry but I have to.. You mix in your kinky dialect on accident (kinki)? :P

I can't wait to see the clouds. The clouds in 1.0 were very nice

[Klefth]

What I really want to see now are night shots out in the field, without lamps or anything like that around. Guess I'll have to wait for the beta at this point.

i wound like to see undead come out at night

yeah dude, it was kind of annoying to have to move camps at night in FFXI but personally I feel like it made the world feel more alive

1.0 had too many stars in the night sky, it looked like someone spilled a tub of glitter. It made the stars not really feel special. I kind hope that 2.0 has a more realistic night sky. I'd love to have distinct constellations maybe tying into lore. I think when it comes to the cosmos less is more.

The smallish pictures of the night time shots look really lovely. I'm impressed how it actually looks like a night, and not just day with a navy blue tint applied to everything. I'd love to see weather screen shots too! Particularly snowfall if there exists any.

In a world with little to no light pollution though, it's fairly accurate. Ever looked at the sky when it's truly, completely pitch black out?

It's magnificient.
