    Maybe it's time to localize the game for Latin America

    The game went live in China and Korea and it's available in the West in English German and French. Recently the free trial web page translated into Spanish and Portuguese but the game is not yet available in those languages. I'm from EU and do not speak these languages so normally I wouldn't care but I wonder why this is not a thing yet. Considering how many people speak Spanish even in EU it's weird the game is not yet available in those markets. Is it because they need to invest for a server in those areas or is it because those markets are considered weak or FF is not popular there (thing that I really doubt). Wouldn't this help the game's growth and profits?

    Translation takes a loooooooooooong time. You need to hire translators... who are in profession not 'writers', who will need to be recruited separately. Basically it takes a lot of resources to localize a game.
