Your one question about how difficult it is to converse with other language speakers due to specific terms is a bit tricky though, IMO. That question is very, very broad and needs to be narrowed down if you get the chance. Like, do you mean English Second Language Learners, or do you mean conversing with others through translators like we can in FF14?

I know a lot of people have issues with how the characters in the game speak in the English version because they take notes from Old and Middle English, which can be difficult for ESL to pick up right away.
It's beyond me why they can't just use modern English. All it does is add annoyance and tediousness. Makes the subtitles heavy to read because you have to think twice about what you're reading.
