But I will not take as word of God what an unsupervised worker with a mouthful of rice or soba said to a random Tumblr poster that did not even bother to transcribe the words as they were spoken.
Live letters are Word of God.
Forum posts from the community and localization team members permitted and vetted to post are Word of God.
Panel answers by vetted members of the localization teams are Word of God.
Steve the localization guy chatting with a fan at lunch about work is not Word of God. At most it gives some credible insight into author intent, which is still far removed from Word of God.
My point, that as always, is completely and utterly ignored.
I really don't care who writes what or who works for who, the bottom line is Tumblr is not a valid source for any information unless it is the absolute official blog for the related subject.
This isn't going to stop people from RPing out fantasias. Honestly all I can do at this point is be brash and say 'deal with it', because nothing is going to change and frankly, outside of an amount of people I can count on my hands, no one cares.
