    And the Spanish version of the game...?

    Sorry.... Noob had to put it again, yes.... (Omg, spaniards whining about this again? Yes, again...)

    If you see the latest letter of the producer, Yoshi-p speaks about that they are now working in a chinese version for FFXIV... So, they can have enough work for trying to not only do it in a new language but also new symbology and also having to work with the strange chinese charsets such as big5 and all that....

    .... It seems that we will have eventually a lot of languages and game client versions except the Spanish one...Is it because they hate us?...

    Okay, sorry, I stop whining, I'll just post a link to my former topic, the one that explains better all this idea.

    PS: Incoming russian or greek? Maybe arabic?
    PS 2: I want to see the return of Artema. (How it has always been called "Ultima" in spaniards FF games)

    They have said if there enough demand then they release a Spanish version. The thing you have to look at is the cost of supporting said languages. They have to hire a team to translate all the text also get more dev team so they can post in said languages. Get new voice actors to do all the voice over in Spanish.

    So ya once there big enough demand they may think about releasing a Spanish version.

    Thanks Zenaku, because you are telling reality. And I just couldn't shadow myself a little with the news of the chinese client so had to write this, again. Can't help

    And thanks Martin! Everyone that loves AC and FFXIV would love a Leap of Fait... Reborn!

    Notice that they had to team with a Chinese developer to push the Chinese version. It's likely they're absorbing the localization costs on SE's behalf. Otherwise they wouldn't have done a Chinese version.

    Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, OF COURSE it'll have demand, anyway they could sort by IP and filter the total of Spanish-speaking people playing FFXIV. I totally +1 this.

    Exactly... But as it is shown in the old thread about this...It seems that for some game developers, Spain, south america, and other regions where the language is spoken is not so 'rich' for them. So basically, Germany for example buys more games than Spain + South America together, at least they think so, so no spanish version..... No hire a spanish developer team because it seems it won't be worth of it economically.... (Thing I doubt, but... It's okay, if they think so...)

    But of one thing I'm sure....

    This game has a lot of spaniards despite of the language problems, but, almost the 90% of forums I checked before joining here (spanish forums) people dropped the idea of coming here because the language. So, implementing it would mean more players, thus, more money.

    ("more players" even sounds weak, maybe, MUCH more players.)

    And, sadly, you are right. Maybe if this thread would have so many replies as "Pleeeease put Fantasia in the mog station" one.... maybe, maybe, no, no mabye, they WOULD include a spanish version.....

    Alas, I think it won't even receive 1% of replies that the "Please change the butts of our characters" thread... ... Rage...

    PS: The thread tittles noted above are not the original names because I can't remember them.

    And happens that Mandarin Chinese (in which all Chinese languages shares the same written language) is #1 most spoken language in the world...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ative_speakers

    So by this order, Spanish might be next to be localized
