Thread: Translations (JP to English)

Hopefully the Need/Greed/Pass system is better refined, since at present implementation in MMOs all it does is guarantee those who can't even use the item will be passed over automatically, but it doesn't guarantee who needs it will actually get it, because everyone could "need" it just to get it. Just dumping it into a loot pool like FFXI or other XIV fights does the same thing honestly.

What is /random?

Interesting .

In FFXI you typed /random and it would roll a dice for you in the sense:

Player 1 randoms a 728
Player 2 randoms a 882
Player 3 randoms a 242
Player 4 randoms a 10 (we all been there lol)
Player 5 randoms a 993
player 6 randoms a 998 (always one >.>)

So if you set the rules that highest random/lot wins, you'll give it to player 6. It's a numerical display for dice rolling, much like casting lots. That's just in terms of Square's previous FF MMO. Some MMOs does it differently.

One of the most annoying features in XI.

Glad they're redoing the drop system for Ifrit. Nearing 70 kills and all I got are 3 bows, 3 swords, 2 claws, 2 canes, and 1 cudgul when all I wanted was the Lance/Axe >.>

Text command that generates a random number on screen. Often used in FFXI when a drop could be used by multiple people to determine who gets it.

That's how it reads to me. Think the key item that drops from the avatar battles in FF11, except it'll be an item that goes into loot pool. Then you take it back to an NPC and you get the item you actually want. I imagine this'll still be pretty rare so that people don't get every weapon within a week though.

Less important post from YoshiP on /cheer YoshiP thread.
Well one good info in the end... w

I hope the hard working staff don't lose their hope to continue working because of some people saying stuff like "decided without even thinking" or "just put in to fill in" (Some saying the action list was done without even thinking hard, just something done quickly to present to the players.)

もし意図が実装上で御伝えできなかった場合、それは我々の力足らず、もしくはミスですし、
その場合はしっかり意図が御伝えできるよう、継続してテコ入れするのも我々の責任です。
できるだけ「意図」をお話しするのが、吉田の役割でもあるのですが、
どうしてもその瞬間にはまだ、言えないことも出てきてしまうのも事実です。
（できるだけ無くすように、努力は続けますが）
If the idea's mentioned cannot be delivered when implemented that is our miss and in that case we will continue making changes to make sure the idea can be delivered. It's my role to talk about the "idea" but at that time it's true that there are things I can't talk about. (Will keep on trying so this wont happen as much)

言い訳したくなることもあります（人間ですもの）。
ですが、お客様には関係のないことが多いですし、
そこはグッと我慢するのも、プロデューサなのかなと（笑）
There are times I want to give excuses (I'm a human too)
but in most cases it has nothing to do with the customer and as a producer that's something I have to hold back (laugh)

時々めげることもありますが、
「よし、さあ、プレイヤーにしっかり伝わるように、ガシガシアップデートするぞ！」と、
開発一同、モチベーション高く頑張れていますので、ご安心ください
There are times when we're disheartened but all dev staff are saying "OK, lets make updates so players can feel it!" and have high motivation and working hard so please don't worry.

P.S.
あ、書き忘れましたが木曜日には、パッチ1.20の進捗について、
プロデューサーレターを公開させて頂く予定です。間隔が空いてしまってゴメンナサイ。
Oh forgot to write but on Thursday (JP time) planning to post producer letter with current progress of 1.20. Sorry there was some gap (timing)

Good information - Current progress of Patch 1.20 on Thursdays (JP time) producer letter
