It's been like this for years, stop being ungrateful.

It's not ungrateful to point something out that bothers you. Honestly speaking there should be re-streams with each major supported language for these things because they're basically announcing the next few months of content for us. Having to rely on reddit for this stuff gets tiring after a point.

If you want to wait for a restream just wait for a youtube channel to cover it in your native language. There's plenty.

like someone already said, go to the ffxiv reddit discord server, they live translate everything :)

Given that they've done re-streams in the past, no it's not. If you're content to wait then good for you. Given how large the EU and NA populace is however it's not too much to ask an AAA company to get a handful of people to do live translations. No matter how much SE likes to pretend they're a poor indie company. Instead we're relying on players to do it, which they're doing a good job - shout out to mogmog in the English channel of the stream for doing live translations without pay, but wanting more from a company that can more than afford it isn't being ungrateful.

As has been pointed out numerous times, the FFXIV Reddit did a live translation of the whole thing, so it's on you to stop being lazy and find it; the rest of us managed to.

It used to be officially translated all the time, but not anymore. Seems to be random now.

The point is that SE has the money to do it themselves, not that live translations don't exist. Relying on fan good will as an AAA company isn't a good look. They aren't like indie devs where they legitimately don't have the money to do a re-stream - and the fact that SE /has/ done re-streams in English before with Koji just makes it baffling why they don't keep on doing it.

The Japanese wasn't extra complicated or anything I could loosely follow along, but the English slides do help.
But now think about the other two main client supported languages. They get nothing.

...Because they are Japanese? And its at Tokyo Gameshow?
Man, is America this self important that it can't wait till after the Live Show to get it Translated afterwards?
