The reddit translation looks to have left out some stuff from the famitsu interview. Some things I noticed:
-Yoshi says benchmark will probably come out around the April niconico stream, which is around the 25th-26th.
- They plan to reveal all the new skills/spells for all jobs in a video shortly before the release of the expansion, please be excited.
- They are still debating on whether or not it will cost MP to draw cards as AST, but Yoship goes on to say that he believes MP management should be very important to healers.
- They didn't actually lie about the DRG limit break, the reddit translator must of just skimmed the question. What Yoship says is that the DRG one will be first to be shown, and that a promotional video is currently being produced that is planned to contain it. The live letter part was asked by the interviewer (or more precisely he asked if it will be shown in a live letter or something similar). Yoshi never specifically says "the live letter being released today will have it".
- BLM will keep meteor, PLD will keep last bastion, and BRD's LB may be something like a giant laser. (no seriously, he says giant laser)
- AF2 won't come from job quests, but Yoshi doesn't think it will be very hard to get.
- The current goal is to release at least 20 new TT cards every major patch, including 3.0 itself.
- They talk a little bit about the tournament, like the live letter he says changes to both the rules and rewards are coming. He also says the developer team wants a tournament atmosphere, for players to be in the event area and actually think a real life tournament was going on.
- "It's probably terrible balance-wise to have dungeon drops always be the strongest so we're trying to change that." this is the reddit line, and is not what YoshiP says at all. What Yoshi says is that he doesn't want people to buy gear to become the strongest, but doesn't want people to just do dungeons and be the strongest either, they want to create a balance somewhere inbetween.
- The "scripts" the reddit thing talks about seem to be a crafter version of allagan tome stones basically. Not sure why they left that part out.
- They still plan to keep the patch every 3 months schedule post-expansion. Yoshi says the amount of content in every patch may be even larger than what we have been seeing up till now though, they are still balancing out how to spread resources on that front.
- A crystal tower like raid has begun development, they will be alternating between it and Alexander like they did with Coil/CT. (HOW DID THEY LEAVE THIS OUT? isn't this big news or have I been living under a rock? I thought the expectation was CT would be like Alexander normal)
That interview was really good, shame they don't get official translations for these more often, this is one of the more indepth interviews I've ever seen him give.
