Default Vorsprung Durch Technik- 05.07.2009 Septimus

Recently, Square-Enix announced that its North American Community Team would be doing a series of Pod Casts with various Final Fantasy related web sites. As we well know, doing interviews for this game is hard. Not only does the interviewer have to come up with a series of questions that are relevant to all of the people who play this game, but then the interviewees have to craft answers that evade those questions while providing answers that sound like they are made of words that contain absolutely no substantive information at all.



Fortunately we here at BG are always here to help! Using our state of the art computer banks, we have sent web crawlers to cull hundreds of thousands of forum posts, live journal updates, blog entries, and even twitter tweets to find the topics that are most relevant to and talked about within the population of Final Fantasy XI and pool them into our mighty databanks.



Then using a series of Psychological tests of the Development team and staff of Final Fantasy XI and multiple logistical regression analyses of previous interviews, we developed a protocol capable of taking these cutting edge questions asked by you, the Final Fantasy player, and answer them to within 95% certainty of how the actual team would answer.



So without further ado and with great pride we present to you, the Final Fantasy player base, the Square-Enix Final Fantasy XI Interview Generator.




Just another example of how we in BG labor every day to make every player's life just a little better.

great job it's randomness is really funny best I saw was:
"Question: We feel that Valentione's Day is too random. Can you please give us answers that contradict answers given in previous interviews?

Answer: The person in charge of Valentione's Day was mysteriously murdered in Bastok [S]."
or
"Question: We feel that the Rank 3 Dragon is too easy. Can you please not nerf it?

Answer: The person in charge of the Rank 3 Dragon fell into portal to the future."
I died laughing at these random references.

Answer: Sea is working as Cheese Sandwich.

I know that the update is good when I fear that this might be the one that causes Square to try to assassinate me. After this one, I think that were I to go to the next Fan Fest, Sundi would slip behind me and snap my neck.
