    I'm an Italian myself and I understand that my native language is basically only spoken in my country, so the costs of translating an entire game with voice acting on top of it would not be worth the effort.
    But I'm honestly baffled at the lack of a Spanish translation seeing as it is the second most spoken language in the world. Hopefully that'll change in the future.

    i know Spanish localizations have a very bad rap due to their quality being... we'll be generous by calling it "sketchy" for years. Most of the Spanish-speaking players i've met would rather play in English than see a Spanish localization on par with what they expect from years of them being bad

    you are talking about latin spanish? bcs in spain we consider our localization work have pretty high quality, not free of mistakes of course but those are pretty rare.

    primarily, since i'm NA i'm far more exposed to Latin Spanish than Spain. i just remember watching Spanish anime dubs and them sounding worse than Peggy Hill's Spanish

    I really hope we'll can have game in italian too. The story is beautiful, but the English used is not scholastic, and therefore not necessarily intuitive.

    Well, there's this constant and fierce war between the supporters of the Spanish dub and the Latin one. Hydaelyn and Zodiark have been arguing over who left the kitchen lights on last night compared to this, so you might be talking about that.

    This is something I've also been confused by. Spanish is VERY widely spoken so it's been baffling to me that the game exists in German but not in Spanish... though perhaps they found that many people in Latin America and South America don't play JRPGs? That would definitely reduce a lot of the potential need to translate.
