Matsui And Fujito In Game On A Live Stream

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e4VHFXiUSw

I saw the FFXI_JP Twitter retweet a live stream announcement with the note that Matsui and Fujito would be in attendance. They're definitely in-game with the streamer and on the voice chat, too. Anybody know what they're talking about??

I haven't translated it, but the streamer is Emiri Kato, a well-known anime voice actress who has worked as a brand ambassador for SE multiple times. So this is not just some random "hi we thought we'd join your stream" thing.

She is a legitimate FFXI player, though. Not getting paid by them to look like one.

These always surprise me, it's a little strange but cool

Hate to be captain obvious but it's staged and all participants were paid actors. How do I know?
The first chest wasn't a mimic 100% of the time every time.

If it was real fujito would tank on SAM while matsui DDs on NIN. Mashing the JPonry button for instant TP, matsui would open with Blade: Retirement which fujito would swiftly follow up with a Tachi: Maintenance Mode ultimately channeling into a Cosmic PS2limidation.

Using google translate, it's look like SE took the suggestion directly from this JP thread:

Or maybe SE is joining this live stream for other reasons perhaps? I can't even pretend to understand SE's intentions.

The fact that they got 3 (in a row) perfect 8/8 Troves IS sus lol

The odds of that are prettttty low
