Hi, everyone^^
It's the first time I'm making a thread (and I don't know if its the place to put this kind of thread), so, if I made a mistake, just forgive me u.u
I'm a brazilian player and I've played the 1.0 version at server Ragnarok (in the last days, so I'm a big noob anyway). I'm not so familiar with english language, so sorry for my poor english knowledge u.u
Well, I just want to know if there is a plan to we get an option to put the language of the game in portuguese, or a portuguese client to download or something like that in future...
Thanks for possible answers^^
See ya in Ragnarok before 27th august :D

I think you could expect a Spanish version for release before Portuguese. It isn't the same but at least Spanish is closer xD

Hmmm... yes, but, I prefer english anyway... hehehe.
If they make a portuguese version of the texts a big lot of brazilian players could join FFXIV. In my country, there is a great number of FF fans, but the majority of them don't speak english. It's some kind of a barrier for them. At this time, in Brazil we have a great improvement in access to games and money to spent in this kind of entertainment... So, if SE wanna more money comming, the portuguese language is the way to go beside spanish... -

The issue is this game need to be big when it come to portuguese players. Just like Spanish i see that being added first before anything else but who knows :) Just have to wait and see.

The problem is they will need to employ a localization team for Portuguese full time and this will cost them a lot of money, they need to weigh the cost of translating all game text for the lifetime of the game against the extra money they would receive if they would get less money than it would cost, it wouldn't be sustainable.
Unfortunately this is the reason, and with SE's current position, I don't think they could take any cost if Portuguese localisation didn't make a profit. -
08-02-2013, 11:49 PMKupodeGraceOk, so... i guess that will be the way the things goes through. It's a bit sad but... what can we do?Quote:

Well, let's wait to see what's happens, however... -

It's not just providing translations..it's having full time reps like we see with the EN, FR, DE and JP marketing. They'd need to employ persons who could read Portuguese forums and respond to the fans' questions, and provide news, and also do community events like what we saw as far as the international media tour Yoshida took to San Francisco and London.
This is why I said the closest you'd get as far as localization would be a Spanish version.
Another interesting thought is which office would do the localization. EU? NA? I'm not too too familiar with Portuguese (though when I hear people speaking it I understand about 80% of it due to being fluent in Spanish >_>), but aren't there some differences in Brazilian vs European, that's moreso than say, American vs British English? -

I hope you all have a wonderful day! and OP, your english is better than a lot of native speakers, so don't worry ;) -

And we don't need so many events (believe me, only the passion we got in FF is enough).
About similarities with spanish, i need to say, no... we are a lot different^^ But I agree with you in the spanish been included in place of any other languages first.
However, my hope will not die! I want to see more conrades jump in the game^^ It'll be quite easier to make stuffs for me. In other way, it's good in this way, because I can use my freak and weak english with you people^^ And try to know more about your country and stufs...
Anyway, will be enjoyable to be here from this time forward, no matter what happens in the languages... (but, again, my hope still standing). -

I know there's a lot of differences... I meant between Brazilian and European Portuguese XD
Just a translation would be easy enough yeah, but since this is an MMO, not a console game, they have to do things a bit differently. Maybe someday, who knows! -
