Petition for Spanish Translation of Final Fantasy XIV

[ChocoFeru]

I don’t think it’s feasible from a finance pov.

Oh, but it is!

If we compare the numbers on the languages that have already a traduction, therefore, are reaching their max audition such as French and German:


And we compare it on the numbers of members and active members of the Spanish Community (wich doesn't include so many Latin and we don't have an official translation, therefore we're not "maxed out"):


We can see that, in fact, IT IS feasible from a finance PoV

I have no idea what your picture said.

But one point is Spanish speaking countries isn’t exactly known to paying subscription based games.


Not to mention how much manpower, time and money this would take. I’d rather them focus on giving us better content than a localisation for only 5k potential players.

If SE wanted to they would already offered it a decade ago.

Spanish is the 2nd most natively spoken language globally and English is the 3rd so I can assure you it's a lot more than just 5k.

If ignorance was bliss, you'd be the happiest kiddo in the world, period. I refuse to elaborate because it's completely pointless, as it is your comment. We don't want toxicity like yours in here.

And let me tell you, we're making this petition in English, so we're proving to speak more languages than you do. It's not for our own sake, it's for the sake of potential players or the ones who are not enjoying the game at its fullest because of the language gap.

Just to play devils advocate here, whilst there are a lot of Spanish speakers it's also known that a lot of those people struggle to pay the sub fee due to how expensive it is in their countries. If you compare their lower income vs the higher income of French and German speakers we might have a reason for lack of translation. Even if they can get to pay the sub, a lot of Spanish speakers won't have disposable income for all the extra things like the French and German communities do. So there is no guarantee that it would be a financial boon spending money on localisation for a demographic that has a lower spending power than others.

Not opposed to adding the translation and I don't think that if they did it would do harm to other development efforts in any major way. But I do see why it hasn't happened yet.

It shows that our community is as big as French and German communities, basically. And we're missing people from USA aswell, wich proves that we're more than it seems




Please, we don't want toxicity on this post. We're here looking for support, not controversy. Remember that we pay our sub like everyone else and we have the same right to ask for a translation

Also you can look for support, that's fine. People are allowed to disagree with you though and say they rather resources be spent elsewhere. They pay the sub too, as you said.
