Can, what kind of stuff did you want me to put in there? Anything specific?
I need to fix up the format... I noticed lots of JP players use that doc also but I don't think it's as organized as I wanted it to be... I'm open to any suggestions to improve that doc.

Formatting wise, perhaps alphabetical. Contextual is also nice, but by alpha seems like it would get more use. I think 伝説の金のサブリガをまだ探しています should always be the first line. lol

You need to stop beating yourself up over your translations. They're fine and its great that you're able to update us so quickly, even if you can be wrong sometimes.

There wasn't a test live letter this time?

There was, here's the video links I got from Sili from twitter - http://t.co/HpE4vgZQyl and http://t.co/bCSCH83c0W
They basically testing in first part, on the 2nd video Soken shows his working environment how the sound is being checked and shows the program (gets scolded by YoshiP afterwards)
YoshiP brings some chicken Soken likes (Karaage-kun) this time and they were eating during the broadcast. YoshiP also answered some questions that's really not for actual live, stuff like do you prefer food A or food B.
He also mentions that they decided on the new race, and the art is being worked on (he doesn't go into anything else regarding that one, no dates, nothing)

Thanks for the update.

Personally I'd like to see the Viera, but I don't want it to be a female only race like (I think) Yoshi said it would have to be. Gria would be pretty nice too.

I wouldn't like a beastial race though, I much prefer races that closely resemble humans than stuff like Bangaa.

"Yoshida: Im sure it’s much different when comparing to FFXI. Even Guild Wars 2 at release timing people capped at 36 hours, and on average was about 47 hours. In current generation having a story driven RPG without being side tracked taking 50 hours is long. I personally feel that’s too much, if it’s me my direction would be like Call of Duty with story for 6 to 9 hours, but has a lot of stuff put into it. To me I think that’s enough."

Ok Yoshi-P, I like what you're doing with FFXIV, but don't ever make an offline RPG where it only takes 6 to 9 hours to finish the story...
