    Hi Camate,

    Thanks for the reply. I understand it might be a lot of work if you had to add all attacks ever made into the Auto-Translate Dictionary, but I have to ask:

    1. How is adding *text* "consum(ing) quite a bit of space"? It's literally text (no fancy VFX, Textures, etc.).

    2. In the request it was asking to consider *Only* End Game Raid Attacks. Those are the most important to communicate with other players in other languages via Duty Finder. For example, in Final Coil, Turn 10:

    Critical Rip
    Heat Lightning
    Spike Flail
    Prey
    Crackle Hiss
    Wild Charge
    Cyclonic Chaos

    You had to localize those names already (they appear in the database) for your Battle Logs, etc. How is adding a few lines of Text "consuming quite a bit of space"?! Huh?

    Yes, I realize you have to multiply that by each Turn of Coil (and then later on Alexander), but they are extremely helpful, and again, it's Text, it's not brand-new Animations or VFX, etc.

    3. If Auto-Translate Dictionary is really so precious, why would you add "Coeurl Mount" and "Fat Chocobo" to the Auto-Translate Dictionary, and not something more useful like Boss Attack Names? No disrespect, but players get the Coeurl Mount and Fat Chocobo from BUYING the Collector's Edition. There's no need to Auto-Translate that to other players around the world, as if you needed their help to Unlock a Quest, or overcome some challenge to get those, see what I mean?

    4. Perhaps as a way to balance the amount of space (over time): You can *Remove* Boss Attack Names from the Auto-Translate Dictionary when the Raid becomes outdated (for example, by current events, you can remove Garuda, Ifrit, Titan, or First Coil from the Dictionary if you really needed the space).

    I know it's more work on the Localization team's plate (sorry), but at least putting in the important Boss Attacks (from End Game Raids) would prove really helpful, especially since you're promoting Duty Finder / Party Finder as a core method for grouping.

    Please reconsider this. Thanks!
