wow I knew it was coming, but I didn't think so soon.

[Nama]

Yet again another time I wish I had the initiative to learn another language. Least I can look at some pretty pictures and concept art while I'm wondering what the hell they are saying.

Fuck, I just now realized that it's going to be in full japanese with no real translations. That's total ass, I guess there's no real reason to stay up till 6am cst.

[Gokulo]

They're supposed to do twitter translation during + the link I posted by Reinheart I guess, but yeah, official subs will come later, like the 25th event.

[Spira]

[vadre]

Run my lad, gotta look good for Yoshi.

[Spira]

lol did my math wrong.. the stream says it starts in 40min? (which i1 hr ahead of what i expected) >_> i can run after lol

[Gokulo]

No, you were right at first ^^; it's still 1,5h

[Oreth]

Should be starting soon!

[Kurokikaze]

Good music! :D

[Kurokikaze]

Hmm... The game looks WAAAAY better than the 25th Anniversary stream. No jaggies. O_O

[Kurokikaze]

Terrible first question....

Q: Ramuh and Titan have debuted, but can we expect other primal battles to appear?
A: Of course! I hope you're all excited to check them out!

People walking in place. >.>;;;

[Oreth]

Hope they read out my question. Want to know how the new client systme will download / install patch updates etc. The current one is so shit surely they will fix that

[Kurokikaze]

Q: Any other FF element besides Crystal Tower, Magitek Armor, and Gold Saucer planned?

A: We have a lot of ideas in mind... While we don’t want to ruin it just yet, we hope you’ll stay tuned!

[TacoTaru]

Might possiblly see Red XIII (RED XIV HURR) in XIV according to Reinheart's live translation.

[Kurokikaze]

Hope they read out my question. Want to know how the new client systme will download / install patch updates etc. The current one is so shit surely they will fix that

They confirmed there is a new patcher on the way. They're not able to use the same one.

Notable updates from the Reinheart Live Translation.

F: Related question but for 2.0 gil will it be wiped or change?
Y: We already mentioned before we would not wipe but we will put this on topics but for example arrow price is bit expensive so stuff like that will change, and gil total will be less by 1 digit for all players and at same time all NPC sold items will be 1 less digit (1,000 gil > 100 gil)

edit: via OF to clear it up.

Q: Will you wipe gil from our characters or change the currency with the launch of ARR?

A: No, there won't be a gil wipe. However, we do currently have plans to decrease the max digit by 1 (999,999,999 > 99,999,999)

[Kurokikaze]

Hahah Titan bow looks rad!!
