Translations (JP to English)

[Vilhem]

Being immersed in another culture certainly changes your outlook on life, doesn't it? For me, I never really lived *outside* the US per-say, but I grew up on a town on the US-Mexico border, so I was exposed to both cultures pretty much since Day 1. You start to appreciate the culture and experiences you have here moreso than others who've never stepped outside of it.

This is the other major aspect to translation/localization: the ability to bring the translated text into a completely different culture than your own, and make it seamless, as if it never existed in another language.

Had to go back three pages to find a Reinheart post. I know the temptation to post is high in this very dull time (and i've made the same mistake before) but let's make posts on issues in other threads.

and i've posted again. Look what i've done!

Yep, noticed this thread getting lots of off-topic posts. For anyone looking for the translated stuff check out the OP and 2nd post on first page. I updated those 2 yesterday

when 1.0 threads are locked you can hold crown to the most pages ever thread by like 2000% lol

Just looked at the japanese loadstone and realized that name for ffxiv ARR is different in japanese (the subtitle) it is actually read... ファイナルファンタシＸＩＶ新生エオルゼア (yes I wanted to use full width romaji) The japanese name means almost the same thing just instead of a realm reborn it is final fantasy XIV Eorzea Reborn (literally rebirth of Eorzea)
Just wanted to mention it since I haven't seen it posted anywhere...

Thats really neat to know, I think both sound great - but A Realm Reborn = ARR is more memorable then Eorzea Reborn = ER. So I think it was a great localization choice.
