Forum Participation by the Development and Operation Teams
To differentiate ourselves from players, the representatives from the Development and Operation Teams will have their names displayed in red.

Multilingual Support
The FINAL FANTASY XIV Forums will be available in Japanese, English, French and German language versions. Players will be free to access any of these languages regardless of their Square Enix Account region.
Please note that while moderation and support will be made across all languages, active participation from the Development and Operation teams will be limited to English and Japanese for the time being.
