Japanese to English translation - Discussion Thread

[Reinheart]

I was wondering...in the last post Rein translated...they mention EX Hotbar...what is that?

That's the hotbar you get when you summon your pet as arcanist, scholar, summoner OR the bar you get when you use the cannons inside CM, or when you ride the Magitek Armor mount

On the PC version - Mouse & Keyboard settings you can't hide that bar once it pops up or rearrange that bar.

I assigned SHIFT+# keys to use that bar personally, but there are some actions on that bar I don't use or rather have it set up on #1-5... but anyways this specific post just mentions to show/hide option being available in 2.1. I guess some don't even use the semi-order option and just let the pet do the actions on it's own? Dunno how good that is in end-game content. I'm still Lv32 on Arcanist/Summoner/Scholar so haven't used it in party, but I use positioning action and semi-order to stun with ifrit and stuff to play around and learn. Guess I'm doing it wrong? lol

Ohh okay!! That makes sense now, thank you

So the latest translation done on 11/12 mentioned vanity slots and how they are planned. Does this mean they listened to people and it's planned for 2.1 or just planned in general?

Hopefully they listen to us. They release all these vanity gears but most people will not use them in dungeons. :/

Ya......they're giving us Lightning's set and all these weapons while making them lvl 13....no ones going to use those things unless they're sitting in town or there's vanity slots. Now the restrictions they mentioned will probably be for swimsuits and holiday events since that's usually a restriction in most mmos with a vanity tab, but even then there's so much gear that only seems to have use with vanity slots.

I took it as an excuse to level up my lowest level DoW (PGL)

One thing SE could do would be to only allow unique+untradable pieces to be used for vanity (that is, all non-crafted non-sastasha green items, blue/purple items and event items), and if they want to be mean about it and make you put some effort into it they could also require that the vanity piece is 100% spiritbond before equipping

But yes, really hoping they don't restrict it only to some tiny list of event gear. Also, hoping that whoever designed Brayflox's sets designs more.

Doesn't say 2.1 in that Minagawa-san's post so I'm going with the previous dev/rep post stating 'post' 2.1.

I really want it in 2.1 though... I miss my subligar... I don't like putting on extra clothing on top of the subligar to hide it's awesomeness.

Also, I was asked if this was going to be more like GW2's style with transmutation since dev post says no gear window.
So I went ahead and asked that, although I'm thinking it's most likely going to be where you can still keep the original gear and it's just going to copy the graphics on top of the equipped gear without losing the gear like you do with transmutation. That post I made is here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1552472

The fact is allowing a political answer like voting is not the answer. And mostly because this is dungeon related we should extend blacklist and friending into dungeon. The programmers want to be lazy and use WoW ideas that never worked is just idiotic. A Blacklist check to be implemented would allow people to blacklist each other and then duty finder would check each group and 3of3 you do not join the group. You then wait and if you are not a jerk next group will take you. The facts with AFK more than not it is the fault of random duty finder that throws people together who do not get along. Noobs and decent players do not stand a chance of argument with these people so lets separate the groups somehow and force them either into their own heaven or hell. But to just hand over power and control to the players and then let them police them selves is a system doomed to failed . And to anyone who says they have seen it work well.. Uh BLIZZARD TROLL comes to mind.

Gonna try live translation again Fridays Producer Letter Live 10. I'm not good

Lies!

so don't expect anything professional

Just undertaking such a task (live translating) seems heroic to me. It's also the only reason I watch the LIVE presentations. Without it, they're like a party I'm not invited to. Highly sanitized Q&A summaries after-the-fact by the "professionals" are not at all the same. IMHO.

Didn't see anyone talking about this. But its great news that they want to give us at least one more retainer if I read this answer right:

Q16: The amount of items will increase, but I’m having inventory problems with my current items. Will you be doing anything about the amount of inventory space?

A16: The additional retainer service couldn't make it in time for patch 2.1, so we will be increasing the amount of items that can be stored in the Armoire.

Too bad it didn't make it for 2.1

I wouldn't mind if the third retainer only stored items and you couldn't use it to sell stuff. I wish all untradable and non-convertible items could be stored in the Armoire.
