Heres a link to a translation of a "kinda" recent article put out by JP press. Apparently after E3, reporters were given a behind the scenes look at Square Enix's new US facilities, including the highly speculated GM Room.

If you look in one of the photos, you can see Fame, the GM moogle (same model as Lion) standing on that white/green tiled floor. Article states that the GMs keep their GM Tool up on one monitor and FFXI up on another, with most work being done with the GM Tool.

SageSundi (Head GM) is in the article as well. The article talks about the different types of GMs and says that they each have their own GM Tool versions with certain functions not available to lesser GMs. Some functions can only be performed from Sage Sundi or Mr Tanaka himself. Id hate to be at the receiving end of one of those functions, unless it was like an infinite gil function, then id be all for it =)

This one is Photoshoped.....but I wish it wasnt.

Wow, that reminded me of my time at brainfuse.com

Always did love being the companies sole tech support contact, and intra-office tech support as well (not to mention network admin). Good times, too bad I've moved on and am attempting to get my degree.

Heh, looks like the GM in the background of the first pic has a bit of a receeding hairline

the picture of the one where the camra is behind the guy and hes in what looks like delkfuts tower, can anyone make out that GM name? to me it almost looks like kamikazi, i zoomed in and i could make out the first letter being K and the second looking like a a >.>;. if it is him this could make for some fun times if you ever get jailed by him.

every1 of em look like they need an !@#$%^&* kicking, also take a look at that marriage gm's arm, Le effects of ffxi ~, !@#$%^&*

I think we should have a "friendly" Balista scrimage with the GMs. That would rock. They could pit like 15 GMs against like 30 Players or something (chosen from process of elimination in a pre-event). It would help relieve some tensions between the unpopular GMs and the common players.


...I...want...Sage....Sundi....you here me Sage? You and me mano e mano.

id have to Accidently slip an elegy on mr sage sundi

but !@#$%^&* that look at those !@#$%^&*, little bastards need an !@#$%^&* kicking, lets jus roll up on those !@#$%^&* :O im taken sage sundi's watch loook at that fat baby. and i want that hippy looken mother !@#$%^&* in the back.
