The videos posted by Igr00 seemed to have better audio than the "official" videos. I was able to catch everything watching those.

So part of the reason the video was delayed was so they could subtitle it. So people whined and complained until Funcom released it unfinished. Now people are complaining because it is not subtitled/transcribed. Really?????
Yes, really. Not our fault if they cant ensure good quality audio. I had no trouble understanding Means on the other year QA videos , so as i said , its either bad acoustics of the room, or bad editing.
I'm not saying that it's anyone's fault if they can't understand the audio. I'm saying that if people had just been patient in the first place the video would've been released with subtitles.
Are you sure of that though? Maybe they decided not to make subtitles because it was a huge pain in the ass :p
If what you are saying is true then there wouldn't be anything stopping them from working on subtitles right now and release that as soon as they are done. If what you are saying is true and FC wont release a subtitled version then that means they decided not to do it just to punish the community for whining about it taking too long. Which to me would be worse than whining about it being late :p
We didn't subtitle Means/Kintaii because it would take awhile to get everything down. Their voices are decent though, but I can understand the issue for sure because the location didn't pick up the audio that great.
The reason for the overall delay is because we are not video editing engineers or have someone dedicated full-time to editing and processing videos. We are doing our best here for sure, and adding the subtitles of course does delay the end result some.
We do have the next 2 videos ready, but we were running them by the audio engineers to help clear up the audio before releasing on YouTube. The holidays this past weekend has surely delayed that last step. I'll see if we can toss these up as-is and clean them up later.

There's a lot more ambient noise etc in those videos, but in my opinion Means's replies and even some of the questions can be heard better in these.
Anyway... still wondering when we're going to see the rest of it. I don't care if it's official video or some poor quality vid from some cell phone. Still would be nice to see the rest of it.
And i'm sure, i'll be old and grey before the official ones come out fully subtitled... so i'd actually prefer the cell phone version from some player :D
Famine: i know its painful process, obviously nobody is saying you need post written transcript within an hour or we'll all jump of Empire State Building as a protest, in fact you could post it by the end of the month, that'd be still great.
FC could see if there is point to invest in proper audio equipment. Meaning giving them mics ;D
What I'm wondering is if there's any actual new info in there that anyone who reads FWM or just checks dev posts doesn't already know?
