When this issue came up my first thought wasn't to you Elmer, personally. Steve has said very nice things of you so no worries. Thanks for assuring this community though.

I'm most curious about the table with the percentages. But yeah echoing others' sentiments, it does seem like a bit of a rehash of already released information.


the last page, the top left table? it's a list of the races, female and male, along with percentages

i don't know what the percentages mean though, assume they're popularity votes or something. just some quick sounding out in katakana haha xD sorry to ruin the suspense!

Hey Elmer, I apologize if our readers misunderstood something or made any unfounded accusations! As Apricoth said, I do talk very highly of you on the forums and in chat, and I get upset when people start badmouthing other sites on the forums. Apparently we had some problems with some other sites using my scans, and I know it wasn't you. I think Zyuu didn't want to point fingers, and I'm sorry if that caused fingers to be pointed in your direction! Neither I nor Zyuu have even insinuated that ZAM was the problem, and I get upset when people assume that, just as you have every right to.

Guys, Elmer's been translating for ZAM ever since FFXI, a lot longer than I've been working for Core, and he also lives in Japan and does not need my scans because he buys the magazines himself. I respect his work and like him as a person. I know a lot of you have heard this and remember it, but for those of you who don't, I don't want anyone badmouthing anyone else, especially in translation threads. These are for info, not for mudslinging.

This magazine conducts online polls and its staff makes speculations based on recently released information. It's not much different than those podcasts you guys like so much. I like translating these because it gives you guys a look into the Japanese community, their expectations for the game, and their senses of humor.

Did anyone else notice this? Could it possible be a error in translation cause I hope its not...

But as ever thx Steve :th_070_goodjob:

I really liked what I read about the market system, should be interesting to have to barter and trade for goods! And make it that much harder for rmt to manipulate pricesXD


I think the "8 races" are as follows:

Hyur Male
Hyur Female
Elzen Male
Elzen Female
Lalafell Male
Lalafell Female
Miqo'te Female
Roegadyn Male

The Final Fantasy XI character create was broken into 8 different tabs, which were the same thing, only with the XI names, obviously.

Well, if there's content thievery afoot and ZAM's name comes up, I just feel better confirming I'm not part of that before anyone misconstrues this thread. I got to hang out with SteveManly and Aya at TGS and I respect their work. As a professional translator issues like this are important to me.


I didn't said ZAM was a thief, or nothing, if I did I'm sorry I didn't ment to.

I said. Steve and Aya buy the megazines, this way we get the info first than the other sites, I never anounced you where thief, just announced that we could have it first than ZAM.

I'm sorry if pointed out ZAM there for it will never happend again.

Thank you for taking the time to buy this magazine, and translating it for everyone to enjoy~ It's fun to see how different our points of speculation are, isn't it~?

Does anyone else noticing that they are focusing heavily on crafting and skills?

I want some of the action baby :th_099_:
I just hope with all the work and hype they are putting into the crafting and professions (which, don't get me wrong, sounds great) that they are putting as much effort into the actual fighting system and spells, armor, etc.

To me, crafting is fun sometimes but i don't know .... it gets so boring lol.


I think they got this translation out pretty fast lol, I was wondering why all the japanese was blurred out myself i was like, gdi i wanna read it before the translation is up i can't waiiiiiiiit :th_063_:


but if you ever need help to translate something when you're too busy and people are oozing waiting for the translations

drop me a line. I'll be happy to help out in anyway that i can

I read the very bottom and it said 8 races (pertaining to the nickname thing). I am wondering how there are eight when I only count 5. >_>
