MOD NOTE: the interview from the link above has been translated in its entirety by Elmer, though spread through numerous posts. All excerpts were combined into two posts, linked here. Enjoy!

Any chance a Japanese speaker could read this and post an information of significance. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to check this out.

Crappy Google Translation says this is a male mithra

http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/...80717/ff10.jpg

I am unimpressed, I always thought it would be like lions or tigers where the male is quite a bit larger than the female.

Could just use a translator

edit:
it's not the best translation but its better than nothing

[Rowe]

I used it but those translators suck, a lot is lost when using them and often someone who knows the language will be able to give more insight than any crappy online translator ever could.

"First, sand the rear, 'the boy's own purity'" LOL

"This would also, for example, sand, sand rear in the rear divided between jobs might be." LMFAO - These translations are awesome.

[Freijah]

The backstory mentions the male of the species are stay-at-home fgts, also he looks like fucking Squall.

So it's bang on, then.

[Pergo]

i skipped the whole campaign part but...

some important things:


-rdm enspells and nin temporary hate loss job ability soon
-can't talk about the new avatars.
-they finally made AF2 for aht'urhgan jobs, will see (only some?) of it soon.
-new serpent general quest coming soon.
-mog bonanza will take place every year.
-they're working on the player-created dungeons that they mentioned before.
-they gave up their plans for raising your chocobo and checking AH via cellphones due to technical problems (lol).
-theres still alot more wotg story left to tell that will be release over the course of the next year, and potentially the player-created dungeons.
-we're going to have a long wait until the next version update, please be patient.

This was a good find Rowe but I think this might be better off in the advanced player section. I think it'd get more attention there at the very least.

Advanced player forum is mean to me, lol. Cool on the AF2 I thought I could see that from the google translation but I thought it could have also been something on new relic weapons.

[Dein]

They did mention the new relic weapons in the interview from what I could gather. Talked about them implementing the last half of the quests for them in the future and maybe that they'll look at "harsh" requirements for the first few quests.

Also, I don't think you'd have anything to worry about in the advanced player section if you posted this there. Interviews with the dev team almost always have gone there since people like to read that sort of stuff.

Are people picking up on this months after it went in? More folks need to do the Windurst missons for WoTG. Yes, it's a male Mithra, and he's been in the game for months.

Though they didn't show the part where he's sniffing. For non-Tarutaru, this can be...disturbing.

[Rowe]

Well, I took Jan-May off from game, and also I'm a San D'Orian Evlaan so I hardly go to Windy let alone old windy. I do remember seeing a pic some time ago, but I didn't think it was a male just a freaky chick.


thanks Dein, well IF an Admin wants to move this thread to Advanced section it's up to them.

I always do google and babelfish the Gamewatch FFXI coverage just the translation is always so hard to decipher I figured posting asking for some help would be better.

All of that is awesome, though the WotG bit is a little...I mean #1, the story already comes out at a snails pace. It stops at mission 8 or something and we're already 6 months in. 2nd, though I enjoy most of WotG (though not lately, obviously), I was kinda looking forward to the next expansion, I really wanna see what the other continents look like. I hope they mean 'the rest of the year' or at most '12 months', because 24 months of one expansion is continuing their dumbass trend of each expansion taking longer than the last.


Also, I see a chocobo. Do they talk about why we can't use the things despire their NPCs being around for-fucking-ever? TOA had the consideration to leave the fuckers out until they were ready (well, it).

[Dein]

I've already PM'd Elmer with a link to the interview asking him to take a look at this when he gets the chance since he's great at translating Japanese. Looking forward to reading this without all the garbled babelfish text.

moved to advanced

He is quite a bit larger than females, you see this in the cutscene, it's pretty cute the way they all do the taru female blush emote, and yeah he sniffed my nose, and my friends crotch... so I wasn't sure what the hell was going on there.

Also: my friend was screwing around with Google translations.

He translated Suck my Balls to Japanese and back, and got a new catchphrase, "Inhale my Sphere."

Then he did Arise, Chicken, Arise, and got "The Chicken happens, happens."

[Khamsin]

That's a male? I just figured it was an ugly female mithra. Where did it mention it's gender?

All the catgirls swoon when he blows a kiss at them, they refer several times in CSes leading up to first seeing him to "he" and "him", and then the catgirls are fighting over him, so I'd hope it's a boy.

[Gunitsoldier]

Nice, yearly bonanza and such.

[Eanae]

Silly max, everyone knows Mithras are a lesbian race!

[Starr]

F5, finally something interesting!
