I always love her, the translator, she always transfer the emotion of the sentences (laugh, pause, etc) completely perfect to other party without losing any of the meaning and the intention. By basically, she is like a Yoshi-P female ver. and EN dub. It's that good of her.
She made me crack up on that one live letter where she translated something as "pain in the ass." Twitch chat just " :O " for a min straight lol!
She's Tataru irl and I love it
Agreed, she's able to deliver one of the most fluid translation experiences I've seen.
Translator-Chan is true MVP of media tour.
The translator is so amazing brings all the emotions and humor, it's really hard to do such an amazing translation, I think, based on how rare it is
I did one job as an interpreter and I'd have to agree. It's extremely difficult to not only convey the words of an individual, but also the intent and emotion behind them, while making it look effortless at the same time. Hats off to Ms. Tokutake for doing such an amazing job!
Aimi is the best
"Let's make this go VIRAL"
As someone who played in 2.0, man, the only thing people missed was "being there" at the time. The game then is a spectre of what it has become. Almost all changes have been for the better, or at worst, they are just "different". There really isn't much to miss about 2.0... like, do people really want to go and just run wanderers palace and amdapor keep, the same 3 primal hard modes, and then T1-T5, all the while dressed in the same darklight/af2/coil gear and nothing else? You can just do it now and it would probably be more enjoyable lol
it's not like early WoW where you had this massive world to explore and there was this sense of comraderie through the grind, where that content no longer exists in the game. This is just 2.0, it's just pretty much the same if you started a new character and played to the end of Praetorium, powered up your relic weapon once and grinded coils every week..
Can you imagine the lag in Northern Thanalan because you can't use the Party Finder, or worse-can't use Cross-World PF so you're stuck with all the people in the server AFK-ing in North Than on reset day shouting for group? Because those fights weren't in the DF back then. 2.0 was enjoyable, but let's be honest, most of the QoL changes have been for the better, we don't need to go back to 2.0.
Edit: wait, 2.0 wouldn't be Northern Thanalan, it'd be Wineport. But still, details. With how many people are in the game now the lag of having all raiders in one spot would still be horrible.
this^ the nightmare that it was to deal with cross jobs because you needed a certain spell on a job....
It took me almost a week to get my white mage at lv 30 during 2.0 release. Now you don’t need to level alt class to get job stone and everything level faster. I am glad with the current state of the game.
Omg I am really glad I joined ff14 during shadowbringers days I don't want to go through that nightmare 🤣🤣 well actually I joined the game during stormblood days but I didn't played too much I only finished the base ARR and only played one job and it's bard, but during shadowbringers days when they announced the free trial getting expanded here is where I took the game seriously finished ARR and heavenward on free trial then bought the game and cought up where u guys are in at that point in patch 5.3, and I don't want to go back to the horrors that where this game was 🤦🤦 I Heard so many stories and oh boii glad we are here
this was awesome! actually different and interesting questions as opposed to the big standard ones you normally get. good stuff damiani!
DGD
Is the translator a warrior of light as well? Is everyone involved in 14 secretly an immortal bastion of pure light? I love these people so much. Never have I seen a game in over 35 years generate so much good feels. What an achievement.
Yeap. She finish the ShB MSQ as well.
WOW... amazing interpreter.
Best interperter I've ever heard, she's catches all the emotion and sentiment in the sentences 💯💯💯💯
On a side note, I am always blown away by the brilliant work that the translator lady is doing.
i work as interpreter/translator as well and she is kinda my goal
@@agnichannel1466 shes really setting the high standard for live translation lol
Aimi-san is a total badass
amazing interview and amazing work from the translator! This was great
Great video Damiani! And wow the translator is great
With a thumbnail like that, you know this is going to be good.
Amazing insight, thanks for the fun interview Damiani.
I have to give you guys props. The other interviews didn't have this production value. It made it much easier to watch. Dunno who of you edited, but great job!
PvP info! Thank you :)
And thanks for the slight hint about the Revival PvP community lol
Hello! I was just wondering if you have the full Japanese response from Yoshida to the question you asked regarding PvP. The JP community would love to hear it.
I'm tempted to photoshop the old Nightmare on Elm Street poster, but it's YoshiP as the victim and Damiani as Freddy.
amazing interview
Fun Fact, around this time i posted this comment Mr Sakaguchi has reached Heavensward and now half way even though Yoshi P here said he might only finish ARR but nope haha
Great video ! Thanks for asking for the Pvp !!!
Wake up warriors of light! Information is here!
Aw come on Yoshi P, I want that la hee song.. On April fools
take all time time you need!
Who is the translator? You need to credit them. Did an amazing job.
Aimi Tokutake
3:47 to those people complaining about Damian asking "dumb" questions, if he asked the same questions everyone else already agreed, he'd get answers like this all the time.
Huh, I think the only real wasted question was probably the first one
(Granted it was a good one with regard to tell viewers, that the idea is dumb, for those who want it)
Like, the Xbox, I guess the toxic "world-first" question, in a way you could consider it more, the questions were geared to figure out future strategies the team would take and to kinda see if the way the game works now, if that identity is going to change into something closer to their contemporaries (like a WoW)
@@FF18Cloud oh I wasn't trying to say that my example was that of a wasted question. I was trying to say that asking the same questions lead to Yoshi-P giving the same answers over and over again.
I was excited when it came out , I played for long since ARR beta 1and 2 on PS3 and then onp PS4 . Now I'm back to this game when it came out on PS5 and I saw many improvements that made me very happy . So I don't need going back I need to go forward and the only big thing that I dream about is graphic upgrade .
The first question doesn't make sense, because FF14 is the MMO that got better over time, not worse.
I would rather see them bring back systems that used to be in the game, like the town defences that were in 1.0, refined with their current skill levels.
I feel like it's more so a running joke. Chances are next expac they'll ask for a 3.x server
alot of people just want to SEE how bad it was.
thx damiani!
He definitely handled the topic of an FFXIV classic better then the wow devs did, instead of saying "You don't want it." he instead said "We know you might want it but we don't think that's a good idea of this time."
Nightmare II: We're all out of TP.
This translator is fantastic.
You could maybe ask for a memory of 1.0 quest line for an easier experience of the story. Like an expanded version of that rising quest some time ago.
check out the interview done by r/ffxiv. They pretty much asked what you wanted and Yoshida gave a genuine answer there
A lot of that 1.0 story has been changed anyway and its not canon
It also doesnt really matter for the current story at all
The PVP question in particular provided a lot of insight and hope for what I am looking for, particularly about continuous rewards. I think if there was something closer to the FATE Gem system from 5.0 or a rank system like Valor in Save the Queen areas, along with rewards for different ranks it might provide more incentive for players to come back. I enjoy FF14 PVP a lot and think it gets a bad rap without just cause, but I definitely think it needs more incentive to do beyond just the Roulette. I really really want to see Rival Wings make it into a roulette as well. I don't necessarily agree with him about each player on an individual level having too much responsibility, especially in modes like Rival Wings and Frontlines unless he means a few players doing call outs. Wins tend to come easiest to those who follow the objective and stick with their party. THat said him saying the new PVP mode will have smaller groups but not necessarily 4-players is exciting. I like the idea of having something smaller than Frontlines but larger than The Feast.
Great comment !! I really hope for some new PvP rewards
I would love to see Rival Wings on roulette, Frontlines only Roulette is too boring
Honestly, if they remove feasts, I'm unsubbing. Thats what it seems like their going to do... because Rival Wings and.... Frontlines, idk they just don't do it with me, so it kind of sucks their removing the one gamemode I like in favor of something that we know nothing about.
@@RhadaGhast100 The Feast is being retired temporarily for now but could wind up being permanent. If that causes you to unsub thats your choice. Personally, though I enjoyed The Feast, I can definitely see why its being retired considering how inaccessible the rewards are for it. I think the new PvP mode, from what we've heard of it, sounds like a step in the right direction for PvP in FF14.
@@ArchieGamez Me too. I enjoy Frontlines but Rival Wings is much better IMO and would love to see an actual roulette for it. It tends to pop off during the moogle tomes events which is nice considering moogle tomes are coming back soon.
As a decades long Final Fantasy and Squaresoft / Square-Enix fan, I don’t think we can understate just how awesome it is that the father of the series Sakaguchi and someone as prolific in his own way as Matsuno who has not only left his legacy on the FF series but also on the gaming and RPG world as a whole with the Ogre series and brilliant games like Vagrant Story, are now at this stage of their careers diving into the latest installment of Final Fantasy with one getting advice from the other about how to play.
To be either of them, to have invested so much effort in so many projects over the years and to have affected so many people the world over, and now to be partaking of something they helped build in a sense, must be amazing. And to consider their journeys to this point from a fan’s point of view and to see them participating in FFXIV alongside fans like us, it just feels like how everyone always says after watching the Marvel films - this is the best timeline.
If you would have told me back in the day that this situation would eventuate, I would have thought it was so cool. And indeed, now that we are here and it’s reality, it is just that. It brings a huge smile to my face just thinking about it. I feel very lucky to have crossed paths indirectly with two people who care so very much about storytelling and crafting experiences which can be so very valuable to people that when they’re not crafting those experiences, they’re joining us in enjoying them. Wow, just wow.
Nightmares upon Nightmares!
I'm not even playing 14.. and this was awesome!🙂🤘
Aghhh I can't wait for the Xbox version I want to play with my friends so bad but they don't own a ps4/ps5 :((((
From now on,whenever there's a raid wipe at 1% ill shout NIGHTMARE
I really like his idea about speedruns vs "world first"!
Speedruns to me are a better way of handling competetions in MMORPGS. It always means that there is a purpose for teams to keep rerunning content. to keep optimizing savage fights because a world's first forces everyone to wake up at weird times to be in time with the server and then try to complete the fight as quickly as possible to be the first to get it.
With a speedrun, new teams would feel more encouraged to actually get into the fight and thus this means that there exists the threat of your time being crushed at any moment. you can compete for the time any time you want as compared to a world's first where the first team to beat it literally beats it and thus nobody can ever beat them
@@muchluck7981 I mean, world first, you can kinda, don't really want to mention WoW, but, sorta am referencing it here, antithetically did a number on how people talked and reacted to that game and in that game.
It's not bad to have but there are some clear issues that this sort of "me first" mentality creates
Really appreciate the Xbox question. I’ve bought a pc to play 14, but convincing my friends to is not too promising. Really hoping it’s sooner rather than later, I’d love to introduce more of my buds to the game!
This is literally the same boat I am in.
Im afraid of xbox joining ff14 bc xbox ppl are toxic
DGD Damiani!
06:30 It's funny to see Yoshi-P comment on this, then you see the interview with Hironobu Sakaguchi with him gushing about the game and then seeing Sakaguchi twitter slowly turned into a FFXIV fan account lol Yeah this aged well XD
You're more likely to see a DQX in the west than a FFXIVc. For those that don't know, we'll likely never see DQX localized. Offline version, maybe.
Maybe add crafting material to PVP rewards? I don't know. Could help.
I dont even play ff14, but this was a great interview!
I hope you upload Yoshi-P's Japanese response so that us Japanese fans can understand.
Hironobu Sakaguchi are busing playing FF14* KEKW
Win trading in Feast is a big disincentive.
Hard CUT
A 2.x server is just silly. You can sync down to whatever level to run older dungeons or just run them unsynced if you want. I don't see a reason to need or want a 2.x server.
I mean I don't disagree but there would be 2 points to having a server running an older version of the game. There is content that no longer is in the game Mor Dhona and Idylshire are nothing like they used to be they have fixed that with more recent versions of building/rebuilding areas but that wasn't a thing back then. Being able to play the game with mechanics that no longer exist such as accuracy, elemental resists, status resists, tp, not having 10k mp, tp, etc... I get where they're coming from but I think the game is far better off without those systems. Save I'd love if they'd go back and let the players playing through ARR or HW as new players or in NG+ get to see the patch progression of those areas as he areas are building up as you progress the story.
Like you and YoshiP, I don't get it the demand for "Classic" servers. You can still play the 2.x content today, and are even required to do most of it. But today you will have the balance, change in mechanics and quality of life that makes it a better game.
There are many reasons to want classic servers. Id love to see what Mor Dhona and Idyllshire looked like before they were built up because we have nothign like that in the game as it exists now. Maybe The Firmament but thats it. It would be nice just to be able to see how the game was back then. But I don't think a permanent classic server is the answer, either. I think if anything they could run events where zones revert to the way they were at one point or another.
It's for the old Scholar mains that want to relive the golden days of keeping up 5 dots while managing your fairy and stance dancing.
I think the only people asking for this are the newest players who are curious how it was, but just one watch of Larry's history lesson should give anyone sound of mind a reason why 2.0 classic shouldn't exist. Like DRG? You would DIE SO MUCH, and not in a fun way. Like at most, if 2.0 does exist, people who give it maybe a try for a month then drop it. Like, you wanna farm tomes? Gotta spam Castrum Meridianum for that Darklight set!
I would love to have the opportunity to play the 1.0 story but highly doubt tha SE would do a "1.0 Remake"
(X)
What a godly edit. Every other interview video being one hour because they leave all the live translation in.
Thank you for this.
👉04:36👈
I wish there could be a way to implement 1.x content, even if it was story-only stuff. But I can understand how because of the Calamity literally changing the geography off areas, trying to recreate the playable areas would be a huge undertaking. I wonder if there could be a way to just include perhaps the cutscenes/dialogue of 1.x msq quests; and then like make it viewable through like the Unending Journey feature or something similar.
2.0 doesn't really need a "classic" server, just use New Game+ or. make a new character if you want to re-experience 2.0 stuff. Can't imagine wanting the old gameplay of 2.0 back in any meaningful form.
The biggest issue of 1.0 was actually the cutscenes. They chugged HARD on peoples computers as well as the console they had & from what I read & my partner told me was it took a hit on the servers as a whole because of how it was set up for that.
The best part of this video is how well/professionally it is edited, so you don't have to wait for the translator.
thanks, good edit cutting out his japanese
Thanks very much for asking about the Xbox version, this subject is very important to me, nothing would be better than playing FFXIV on my Xbox Series X on the big tv. Too sad doesn`t sound like it will bew a thing in the near future!
2.x- you dont want this. you think you do. See classic wow. I dont know how people dont understand this about themselves yet. and here I am having understood it since I was like 16. You dont want things like that. That time is gone. Cherish the memories, because that's all they are now. You will NEVER experience the launch of ffxiv again. Make peace with that (it's been 8 years) and enjoy Endwalker next month.
xbox - shouldve had it 8 years ago, but will take it whenever it comes! Fuck censorship sony.
pvp - it's not just rival wings that sucks. All pvp sucks in this game and I wish it didnt! Id literally be okay with them gutting what they have and basically have them give us an ff reskin of wow pvp. Thats the only good part of wow is the pvp and is what ffxiv lacks. Just do it and ill take it at this point.
See it's interesting that is their insight as too why people don't like pvp.
I know alot of my fc love pvp including me. I just don't like final fantasy xiv pvp. The very structure of the game does not feel good to pvp in and doesn't feel designed for it.
I have always liked the rewards to pvp. I just didn't like how it played fundamentally. If something isn't fun I won't play it no matter how cool the rewards are. It's the reason I quit the last two relics as well.
Make pvp enjoyable and people will play it. Most don't play because its not.
The only time I can recall people forcing themselves too play pvp for rewards was the garo event.
It honestly shows just how tone deaf they are with pvp. Sure lackluster rewards is a reason why people don't stay or get into pvp. But it's def not the main reason. For me personally what makes pvp so difficult to get into is the crippling delay with abilities, the inability to say, que Feasts with friends... Rival Wings only being queable once again through a community driven effort... the classes having a rotation thats as dull as cardboard... and their sole concern seems to be "rewards"
I PvP over and over. I see regulars. Then years go by and you meet new regular players. I am hoping we get more gear and more rewards.
Yeah please don't bring back 2.0 hahaha, I mean I had alot of memories from that time for sure, but mechanically it is something I really wouldn't want to re-experience hahaha even just for the nostalgia, for a couple of days it'd be fun but from then on... ehhhhhhh
I can't wait for the Xbox release of FFXIV.
Xbox=always waiting
Should of asked if they ever though about making a single player non subscription version since the story is always brought up on how good it is
Hahahahaha Damiani
Theres definitely not demand for a 2.0 server so why even asking that question?
Gimme xbox version 😩
2.0 AST was the best!
Xbox pls
This interview was enlightening. It seems like the FFXIV developers have no idea why people don't like PvP in their game. They should go play WoW Arena PvP or BDO online or almost any other MMO. PvP in FFXIV is objectively worse than any other popular option on the market currently.
stop asking about those old servers. Literally nobody wants them. Why is this even a thing?
Seriously, FF14 should stay away from anything akin to WoW:Classic, it only worked with WoW because they ditch content when they release new expansions, but FF14 doesn't do that, they iterate on the content and improve it, only move forward not backwards.
ikr. FF14 old content still relevant to this day, so there's no point making server for 2.0. Unlike WoW where it's almost no longer possible to enjoy Burning Crusade and Frozen Thrones content anymore.
Also we don't really need to replay 1.0, but maybe a story recap for 1.0 would be good
@@kleberson777 Yeah, it would be cool if we got some recap quest that shows events from 1.0 and explains what happened to the characters prior to the calamity, I think some quests kinda do that but only in a tangential manner (the Alchemist questline does relate to events from 1.0), more of that would be cool.
That said there are really good videos here on UA-cam that cover the entirety of the 1.0 story and summarize for those who didn't play the game back then.
"Nightmare"
No one really wants classic servers, they think they do but they really dont. WoW's proven that when the nostalgia wears off the grievances from it start to rear its ugly head. You dont want a 1.X or 2.X server with minimal functionality. Even the devs know that 1.0's story was a mess and all over the place and 2.0 lacked a lot of content hence why you see the myriad of dungeons added in 2.X patches to fill in
I’m surprised people want that, it’s my understanding that the game is much better now than it was. That’s not the case with wow, with 6.0.2 the game became so much worse in every way, that’s why people are clamoring for classic versions of earlier expansions
To me, just like the first time, he asked it. This was just a meme question to see Yoshida's reaction to it.
Address Cheating/Harassment in PvP... would be a good start.
Im glad i've held off on buying a ps5 as I own a series x and play ff14 on the ps4 slim while I wait.🙄🙄
please just no FOMO rewards for pvp like it is now with the top 100 reward
Increase visibility of world first raids? Seriously? lol. Why not ask about if they're working on making the graphics and texture better?
YoshiP has been asked about overhauling the visauls/engine/code before. Yoshi P said it would require a massive reworking that would interrupt the normal development cycle, but that maybe somewhere down the line they could look into it. I do think at some point post-Endwalker (say maybe E3 2022 if there's an opportunity), it would be good to bring this back up again + the topic of the future of FF XIV (as in, are they even thinking about a successor that could be free of XIV's limitations). - Damiani
@@EasyAllies nice! My apologies if I sounded rude before.
Instead of legacy server, perhaps they should consider an alternative server that brings current contents with removed 'convenient' functionalities.
FFXIV is a great game, but some players, especially older MMO players wish the game has a sense of exploration and encourage people to socialise. Party Finder and matchmaking drastically reduced the need to talk to other players, levelling is too easy that there's zero need to party up, travelling cost is too cheap that there's no consequence in jumping around the world and kill an S-rank a minute after it's spawned, etc...
Man, Damiani asks some dumb questions with the little amount of time he has.
Why ask the same questions that every other journalist is gonna ask anyway?
@@JBlizzyFan Why ask questions we all know the answers to already and have little worth to what EZA ff14 fans want to know?
what, i rather original questions than the same thing in 20 different channels
@@aesonica every question he asked are questions I am curious about and wouldn't think to ask, so I appreciate it.
The dude does dozens upon dozens of interviews during his media blitz. He gets asked the same questions over and over. I'm sure he appreciates some curveballs to spice up his day, and if you have more pressing questions you're free to watch any of the other interviews he did.
Does anyone know if we’re going to get anymore collab raids like the Nier one??
I understand that people want their nostalgic fix, but 2 expansions in a row is enough to last for a long while when it comes to collabs.
It sounds like Endwalker 24 man and 8 man raids will both be original to FF14, though possible with references from old FFs. That said I think its possible the trial series could wind up being a collab or perhaps something like Rathalos in Stormblood could come to the game.
@@Hawkenwhacker 2 expacs in a row? The return to ivalice raid series was made into oart of the lore, unlike the nier raids
