Japanese to English translation - Discussion Thread

[Soukyuu]

I posted this bit in a reddit post and a japanese person answered -snip-

Not to step on anyone's toes, but how reliably Japanese was this person? And even if they are Japanese, how well can they understand Japanese? There are enough people with foreign roots growing up in another countries, not having the full grasp on the language of their parents.

Where he talks about tank 25:20 in video - Video link: http://gamerescape.com/2013/09/20/tg...h-translation/Can anyone else confirm?

Yes, I hear the same as what you translated. Nothing about new levels. Just saying to trust the dev's judgement that the warrior is strong.

To be honest, as a healer, I saw both good WAR and PLD. WAR tend to be "spiky" more often than PLD though, I assume it's a matter of skill usage and gear, (I don't know much about these two classes), rather than the class being gimped. It's the same as SCH vs WHM and MNK vs DRG, really. People have their opinion on the class based either from their experience or from word of mouth. And once the opinions are set, you have no chances to dispel the prejudices anymore. Even if you happen to prove you can do content x with class y reliably, the reasoning against it amounts to things like "it was a fluke" or "but we always went with class z for x, so we're going with that".
