    The majority of controller and keyboard commands can go, though some would need a sensible replacement as they have become the norm due to lack of correct commands. Eg. End Key needs replacing with 'finished' or something similar. Enter Key/ Start Button need replacing with 'Begin' or 'Let's go' or even just 'Enter' or 'Start'.

    Useful game terms that I can think of to add:
    "Please put your choice into your /seacom" or something like that.
    "Kill the mob using Magic only"
    "Kill the mob using Melee only"
    "Kill the mob using Weapon Skills only"
    "Kill the mob using Elemental WS only"
    "Nuke!"
    "Melee!"
    "True Sight"
    "True Sound"
    "Avoid detection!"
    "Maybe/perhaps"
    "Next"

    And lastly, some of the phrases used in ff14 were quite good, like "I had fun today" and "Let's play again some time."

    those are in the translate actally and because of that, "Avoid detection!" may not be needed.

    they are this:
    detects by sound
    detects by sight
    detects by smell
    detects by HP
    detects spellcasting

    This reminds me, "detects the use of job ability/weaponskill" should be added too.

    Also I am siding with getting rid of [are you alone?] it may be fine in other languages but in English it is very creepy. "[Are you in a party]" "[Are you in a linkshell]" ,"[Are you solo?]", "[Do you have a linkshell?]" would be better sounding in English. there is "[Linkshell] [Do you need it?]" so I am a but confused why "are you alone?" would have to do with having a linkshell or not.

    I also made another thread without seeing this one when I made it.
    We need something like "[clear boss]" or "[Clear stage]" because English speakers are using [clear mind] to replace that and i would bet my FFXI account that makes no sense in other languages. In fact it makes little sense to me even because I know about the clear mind trait -.-
