well before this all gets out of hand, most of what was said was meant for comical relief while appreciating the hard work that was put in by Steve here. One poster took it upon themselves to automatically ass/u/me to which site I was referring (2 others have also posted the same interview with very "similar results")

Also denote the "/conspiracytheory" and you'll begin to feel the "whooooooooosh" wash over you. It passes fast, so don't panic.

i might of missed this but, did they say the beta would be on PS3 as well?

more than likely it will be B tested on PS3, but not initially. PC will get the first crack at B testing according to the interview.

you mean eorzeapedia?
well they have their own translator, let's just call it different angle / translation style

Ah, Corinth over at Eorzepedia!

I think Evic mentioned already that may not be who he was talking about (at least, I hope it wasn't).

I met with Corinth and Elmer at TGS and they are both skilled translators. I hung out mostly with Elmer and didn't get to meet Corinth until the general admission days when everyone was a little distracted, so we didn't get to talk much, but they are fine people. When you're translating the same article, you're going to have a lot of similar matter on your sites. They both really care about the FFXIV community, and I'd rather not start a storm between the sites.

I appreciate the loyalty, as it really helps Aya and me work as hard as we do. However, even if this was not the case in this situation, I'd rather people not post over there saying that they prefer our translation, because that's not really nice.

...this being said, since I'm still trying to get used to my position here at FFXIV (remember, I've only been here about a month), all your encouragement is really helping me out, and posting on HERE that you prefer our translation is a huge ego boost and pushes my competitive spirit to work harder for you guys!

P.S.: Anyone want to go teach preschool students for me today? I'm still a little tired...

haha Sure Steve - pay for my plane ticket over there, teach me a bit of Japanese (enough to get by) and then I will take over for you for a few days. Heck - have two weeks off on me!

Thanks for the translation! Hopefully that 13 is getting released soon we will get a lot of new info.

[Banshi]

Thanks for the time and energy you put into this!

Cut out the drama. I love FFXIVCore.com's translation staff the most. Obviously. But there's no need to bash each other. Or link to other articles either. I feel the way we provide content is very very good and it's obvious people like it, since we're getting good traffic :)

We'll be making sure not to providing full scans in our articles in the future, since it's obvious some sites (not pointing fingers at all) might take the scans and translate it 'themselves'. No idea if it has happened, but to take pre-cautions is good. FFXIVCore.com even met up with the zam staff at TGS.

Oh, and our translation staff is fluent in Japanese as well and also lives in Japan.

Thank you for the translated update. ^^

[LadyYuina]

This was an excellent read! I really liked reading about what they had to say, and I liked some of the questions that were asked. Answered some of my own questions as well!

Thanks for the translation!

Great job on providing this information! There are some interesting things: the skill chain information sounds promising.

It's almost genius-like how they can keep things in the middle for such a long time. We actually know nothing about XIV, we can only speculate...

Hey, this was great. Im glad i got to read this cause i hadnt heard about all the things that were in it so far. thsi is really seeming like a great game. Especially the different play styles for players who arent always interested in combat.
