I don't think it's a biased expectation at all. English is the world's most widely spoken language, and if you're a global game taking money from every country on earth, translating in English is the best way to cover as many bases as possible.

Yeah and for the most part they do their best to communicate with the general community with their numerous posts and letters and they do their official English stream recaps that seems to forget.

Mainline is, this game is ultimately a "Japanese team" and while it would be nice for them to cater to every single language instantaneously for every single morsel of new info (which they actually still do. Stop lying this yourself) multi-language communication doesn't come as easy as most people think they do at least from their end.

The rest of the world who don't speak English has to constantly learn to deal with this so how about stop acting like that special Karen snowflake with that "I pay for this game with my foreign money" talk.

Absolutely makes me sick seeing people with this entitled attitude.

I'll be real, your posts read like you're just paid to sit here and say this drivel. Square's had live translators before, and most games do this sort of thing when they want to communicate to large segments of their base. The one with a bias here is you, and it's towards your corporate daddy.

Not hardly. No big corporation worth its stock price would dare to be as bluntly honest as Atelier-Bagur, they'd get their assets sued off.

Later:

You do realize that you're on the English sub-forum, don't you? English also happens to be one of the most widely spoken second languages in the world, so it makes sense that if someone was going to do a simulcast, in order to reach the widest possible audience, then it would be in English.

Only an idiot would waste money and time using a professional translator when there are hordes of perfectly good amateurs chomping at the bit to do the translation for just the 15 seconds of fame.

I think that a lot of the time they (SE) view the powerpoint slides as English enough. That works well enough I suppose, but they do say a lot between and during those powerpoints, so relying on fan translations isn't exactly ideal. They push out an official translation later of everything they said of importance, but that takes a little while. So yeah, I wouldn't complain if they kept a translator on standby regularly for this sort of thing, but I've also accepted that they will likely never do so.
