Please Add BOSS Attack Names to Auto Translator

[JonLuso]

The way he spoke it sounds like they can't add everything to it because of how the translate system was designed not because of hardware limitation.

You're right, it may be due to that it's because the client itself does not allow more than a number of words. However, keep in mind that the client was created to work on the PS3, as well. Since this is a multi-platform game, anything you do on one platform must be done on another.

With that in mind, the PS3 only has around 450+ MB of RAM to work with. The fact that 1.0 had a much larger dictionary with all attack abilities than you could count is definitive enough and you can see why: 1.0 was developed on PC only, which had free reign in terms of memory pools, essentially. 2.0 was developed with the PS3 in mind. The software itself was created on those laurels, however seething. Indirectly, the hardware has limited what the client can do. It was a reason in XI that the RAM couldn't support that many words (PS2's 32 MB of RAM), and it sounds to be the same issue in this game, as well.

We definitely understand the convenience of having the attacks from bosses added to the auto-translate dictionary – both for players of different language and for quick typing for players of the same language. However, there is a limit for the number of words and phrases that can be added to the auto-translate dictionary, and adding all of these attacks would consume quite a bit of space, so we do not have any plans to address this at the moment.

Holy crap. Did SE not learn their lesson with this from FFXI? It's 2015 this should not be a problem.

Perhaps we weren't clear enough in our explanation, so please allow me to clarify on this point specifically.

As Camate mentioned first "there is a limit for the number of words and phrases that can be added to the auto-translate dictionary" - this is how the system currently exists and there is a limit to how many terms can be added to the dictionary. He then goes on to state "and adding all of these attacks would consume quite a bit of space" - "space" here refers to the number of slots that are available to use in the dictionary, a currently finite number. Hopefully that answers your question!

That is what you call pure laziness. This problem could be easily solved yet you guys come on here and tell us you don't have the physical memory to do it. That's pretty dumb.
