Wow just came back to the game a month ago and just now found out about this, had no idea it was planned, it sounds amazing, I've been wanting my macros to show up constantly and 1-0 set as well since the beginning of this game.
I can't believe it is not out yet.... considering it was planned 2012 and its now halfway through 2013! Lets go SE! This is a major determining factor in if I keep my FFXI subscription when FFXIV rereleases.

Can someone please translate this post? Better yet, can these posts be posted in each language when they are created?

lol... I like how even though they discontinued PS2 support for NA and EU, the fact that they didn't in JP continues to stall update progress and ultimately restrict the functionality of the game...
Oh, and also... I'm really hoping the "if we include support in all languages" thing is some sort of mistranslation... otherwise... you're joking right?

It's more of how the game was originally coded back in 2002 that holds them back. It was originally made for the PS2, then ported to PC..so a lot of the structure is based on PS2 (such as the UI currently optimized for controller).
They really really really really need to do an overhaul of this game, not just stick fixes over fixes >< Though realistically that may not be possible I guess since they'd have to spend the next 2-3 years overhauling everything. Ah well.
The wording does indeed make it a bit vague on what it really means. It can easily be read as 'PS2-limitations' holding things back, but I hope it means more like “in the past, we had to work within the limitations of a PS2, and because of this, we have had to delve deep into the menace inspection to get the new UI work beyond these limitations”.
As for the language support, again a bit vague, but I would probably assume it to mean that it (obviously) takes a bit longer to have the language support done completely, and thus, it would take a bit longer to be ready for the test-server.
In other words, they could implement it for testing earlier if they implemented the full language support later on.
I could, of course, be wrong.
...or so the legend says.
