More Localization

Hey i would like to know if the localization team is looking forward into an expansion of languages for the game, i believe this is important because the current availability of languages isn't helping into the game's worldwide expansion and it's holding it into "only players that can speak this languages can play here", besides if you like to see the game in your language imagine how nice must be for the rest of the world

It would be cool to expand the languages, but it would also be a rather big undertaking as well. The game is nearly a decade old with 5 full length RPGs worth of dialogue, quest logs, item descriptions, etc. That's not something that can just quickly be translated. Then there's the added costs of doing all the voice work over again for the new language. And depending on where you are trying to get people from, perhaps even new datacenters at some point. It's likely not something they can casually do I'd assume.

well, i think localization project only for the free trial version of the game could draw in more players without them having to work too much on dialogue, i would like to see a beta version first then a more supported one, anyway they just gotta talk about it, is not impossible, i just would like an official statement on the issue

There is so much content they would have to translate and pay voice actors to dub....No way in hell this game expands its language support.

You can set the game's voiceover language to a different language than your game client. They could provide client localization for more languages without hiring voice actors, and this would probably be fine. I don't imagine most people would care if the voices were in Japanese or English, as long as they could read the dialog in a more familiar language.
