New JP Interview re: Expansion

[Tradition]

33% done....they can do the other 67% in 5 months? ;x

They'll probably just give us dribbles of the thing at a time, like with ToAU. :\

[Kyreth]

Thank you, Elmer. As always, your translations are fantastic.

And I think we may see more than a simple Windower in there. They're also saying there's changes to the system they're hoping are a pleasant surprise- once FFXI has an in-house Windower, I'd like to see what the community will do to try and mod it and improve it, hopefully poking S-E into improving the in-house version further.

And yes, Taj. I know they're years behind you guys. Big gaming companies usually are.

[Minions]

Thanks Elmeeeeeeeer, Most of the stuff we already knew, but they did say they were adding some new zones too, not only remakes

[Sendra]

We will adjust equipment strength at a rate that doesn't completely make previous goods obsolete.

Thats a tad disappointing.

[Volken]

Are you creating any areas that aren't simply a past version of existing ones?

Ogawa: I can tell you that the past isn't limited to just the areas that we all know about.

AHOY!! Brand new zones!

Agreed, fap on :D

[Gere]

I wonder if they really think people will give up TParty when the official Windower comes out. (Unless of course they just add the functionality themselves, but we all know that's not going to happen.)

Why do you need to know your party member's tp when you aren't skillchaining with them anyways?

[evilpaul]

So you don't accidentally heal Puks with Detonation? Or so you can possibly get 50-100% added damage by waiting a swing to close a SC? Just guesses, I'm on a lolPS2.

And to be expected.

[Cjskater]

Why do you need to know your party member's tp when you aren't skillchaining with them anyways?

So we know who is AFK.

because cheating is fun

Some will, the number of people that want a windower but don't care about plug-in functionality is higher than what the BG forums would reflect.

But yes, I doubt they will include TParty and full length macros so most people that like the current windower wont use SE's.

[Sagacious Sundi]

Hey, if we can see our allies' health and MP, why shouldn't we be able to see their TP? Also, add bars for enemy MP and TP, although I guess you can "guess" enemy health based on whether they're weary or not. Whatever.

Thanks for the translation, as usual.

Yes, because making your old content obsolete is a good business model.

[Kimiko]

Good job with the translation Elmer. If it's alright with you, I'm going to go ahead and post this up to my blog over on 1up.

[Guyverarmor]

Thanks for the translation elmer /fap to new areas

[Aquilla]

I like that they're recognizing RMT in crafting as a problem. Maybe they'll make it a bit more... worthwhile, one of these days.

New areas sound awesome... dammit SE, give us more >D

[mat]

new support-job...

like a husband with 4 kids, i cant wait.

[Venture]

Thanks for the translate, Elmer!

And my translation of that first translation about ToA and WoG storylines was offffffffff...oh well. Only plug-in with Windower i'm worried about losing is extended macros, since RDM is so much easier when you can put on 16 new pieces of gear at once. Nothing you prolly can't replace by scripting through AutoHotKey, though, so, eh...

[klvino]

Thank you very much Elmer for the clear translations.
