We understand that some players prefer to speak thier own language instead of english.
However, to be able to play and communicate in the game, you would need the minimum skills. Even a broken english will work. Not only that, infact, even players that dont like to speak english will still be able to play.
Take your case for example, you are a frensh guy and according to you "french people speak french period ^^". Yet here you are disccusing this post in english, pretty good solid english too. Not to mention the english games you prolly got at home.
French ppl will speak french only between them in their french LS but if they know you didn't speak French at all, they will speak with you in English. It's make sense.
The only reason you're able to say that is because a vast number of players in FFXIV speak English. But if a server has a vast number of French speaking players, English isn't a requisite.
Point being if World10 has a ton of EU players, English isn't needed.
At what point would English not be needed? It'll still be the most popular language if I took a guess, Frence and German people would prob. speak english to each other, also EU players does not = Frence/German, it includes many others of which the biggest would be English
Right, because EU players all speak European..NOT.
GB is a huge part of Europe, they speak English. And even if there were only French and German players on the server, how do you think they will communicate with each other? Way more Germans speak English than French.
Way more French people speak English than German. Obviously they'd chose English to communicate with each other.
And there are so many other languages in Europe, like Spanish and the languages of all the Nordic countries..
Hehhee Finland is not part of Scandinavia - milions of thanks to Mauri Armfelt about it. And to swedes who kicked him out of Sweden. Still majority of us talar och förstår men tycker att Turun sinappi är best. Eorzean metsissä ratsastaa yllättävän paljon meitä vaikka minäkin nykyisin tykkään enemmän hypätä kiituriin ja viilettää Tatooinen hiekkamiesten perässä.
For some reason Finnish are felt unfriendly even in most cases we are friendly people and like foreign cultures. Maybe it's our history to stand on the border.
