They mean that the retainers you create on one character will be owned by all on your service account, but they'll hold individual items for each of you.

Think of it as your retainer being a bank. You can all access it, but you'll have separate "accounts" for every character that uses it.

Seems Arkham (quoted below) addressed this in the same way I was thinking about it. If the inventory is separate between them anyways, what's the point of sharing the retainer in the first place?

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense grammatically. Hopefully they'll clarify the answer soon.

Even "shared retainers, separate inventory", is still unclear. Why force the other 2 accounts to accept the name and appearance of the 1st's choice of retainers if they're completely independent otherwise? Does this limit # of auction house slots per account instead of per character? Does a retainer have limited # of inventory slots that are shared between all 3 accounts? (i.e. if 100 slots and character 1 stores 50 items, characters 2 & 3 see only 50 empty slots?)

I'm thinking along the same lines as far as limiting how many items we can have up for auction at a time, at least if it's correct to interpret the translation as inventory not being shared. And/or to limit the amount of unique names on retainers? There's got to be some alternate reason...

Don't you find it interesting that there was no mention about Phase 3 and the PS3?

One side said La Foret de Sombrelinceul (The drill Sombrelinceul), the other side said Ishguard. I have a screencap earlier.

It's the Forest of Sombrelinceul...a.k.a. The Black Shroud/The Twelveswood. Showing off new areas.

Yup. The accent over the e (forêt rather than foret) makes a difference in Google Translate, and breaking up Sombrelinceul into the component sombre and linceul gives you the rest.

This recording seems complete, not subtitled though.

I think FC housing and players housing are the same thing they just have a different system.

Yes they did it will start June 14 since they are doing maintenance the 1st and 2nd but in later testing it will be more than just weekends

that wouldnt be bad if you could see the items on another character u have as you could make multiple mules to use to hold gear
