Questions about ToS and Windower

[Alhanelem]

Again: First rule about Fight Club is don't talk about Fight Club. Don't ask, Don't tell.

I play with JP ppl sometime, I just keep use <Auto Translate> and try to understand what they talk in jp. As long as you can understand what they talk, and do right thing on the right time. You will no need any type in katakana or kanji just some Romanji and <Auto Translate> is already fine to them.

what's windower?

[Juilan]

with FFXI as it's the way it is, for EU and NA users they cannot input Kanji Hiragana Katakana unless they use windower which enables them to do this, but because of this, they would get suspended due to the fact that they are using a 3rd party application along with FFXI (PC User's) which is against the ToS which is why i'm stating that it's slightly unfair to EU/NA users who can speak japanese, who are resorted in many ways to use Rōmaji which i'll admit it's very rare for me to see on FFXI

hope what i'm trying to say makes sense

i have a jp client i use some times, they install to square soft in Program File(x86) to type in japanese, but you can also use this to have more than PoL log ins on the computer... which is another thing that is just moronic to still have in place

But as someone said before 9/10 times you use Romaji they want nothing to do with you, but why? cause of weeaboo spamming jp players with "KAWAII DESU SUGIOI NI NEKO-CHAN ^______^ n__n" (why I hate that Blue bon bon moogle... why WHY did devs think it was good to make a moogle speak weeaboo?!) or talking about animu & mangos with them?

The Japanese players I been in parties & Magian trials with are fine with English, though for some things you might need to explain like "PH"

Anyway wonder how many pages this will last till it gets locked. Seems much more like a topic about wanting to have an easier time communicating with Japanese players then...not blinking with gear swapping & longer macro lists, or at least its what its turning into.

No. It's because it's English characters which they want nothing to do with. It's difficult to read and in a fast paced event they don't want to slow down to decipher what someone is saying to them.

Weeaboo has nothing to do with it.

But you can only do so much with <auto translate>, this is what this discussion is about, JP can only understand us to a limit hence why sometimes JP play with JP only because they don't need to keep using auto translate to communicate and can speak in their own native language and yet for those who can speak english and japanese are punished in a way because if we try to modify so we can speak in both language, we could get suspended or worst case, banned from FFXI which again brings me back to the point of it's being unfair

Agreed cos even if they use the English letters, you can tell that they are trying to say something in English cos some of their lettering is obviously different than how our lettering font is
