    Such excuses would be acceptable if we were to discuss colours of Mercedes cars only.
    IME is a MS program SE can't use it in their games for free if they did MS would sue them. Being a Software dev them selves no way SE would put it in without going through the proper channels.

    So they only paid to license the JP version to save themselves money. Nothing is going to change that.

    so what you're saying is, they don't pay a fee to use the language tools in EU? because that is all IME is a language tool about the same as the ones used in all of the EU countries, not really a whole lot different.

    While it's rather obvious what you are referring to, Microsoft does not own “IME”. I guess you are speaking of the Microsoft Pinyin IME? There are plenty of other Input Method Editors out there, free, and open source, such as SCIM and UIM (hail Linux, ha!), but that's irrelevant if you already do indeed have the IME bundled or otherwise acquired.

    And as above, so below, using the bundled-with-windoze Microsoft IMEs does not require any extra payment, or do you really think every software there is has paid for it? For the consoles it's obviously a different story and this might be one reason why they did not look into it yet (because they couldn't do it for all the platforms but now the winds of change blow so perhaps they could look into this at last, for the users of the windows version, that is).

    ATOK is the IME. The company is JustSystems. ^^;


    On another note: Everything displayed in the logs of FFXI already go into test-files within FFXI folders so it probably shouldn't be overly difficult to enable Copy & Paste.

    Oh, I forgot to mention this. For those who are very comfortable with the old UI, it will be possible to choose between the new and old UIs.
    This is an either-or selection, so it would not be possible to use parts of the new UI.
    easy fix so gamepad user can use new UI: change the underlined/bolded part !
