Final Fantasy XIV languages. And italians?

And Italians? Ok, we are not the biggest comunity in the world but we will take in consideration your efforts if you'd put our language in the game!!! If there is even a possibility that the missing Italian in a game, is sure that will. About me, I've big difficulties to understand texts of NPC's dialogues or of the journal...I can't fully appreciate your game and this fact is very very very very very very very very very very frustrating!!!! Take in consideration this problem because my gameplay experience is only linked to battles and crafting...and it results very very very very very very very very very very boring!!!!! There are people not be able to write a similar post...and play your game...make your calculations and take an important decision! You need more players you can and giving us a game translated in our language is a great invitation card!! I talk not only for italians but for all people that have my same idea

I don't think italian is enough for the "effort" required. If not mistaken there is like 4-6 countries only that speak italian as main language. IMO, i think they would rather adding spanish or portuguese as extra language over italian strictly due population size that speaks these languages.

You are right but pay attention to this "You need more players you can and giving us a game translated in our language is a great invitation card!! I talk not only for italians but for all people that have my same idea ". My speech refers to italians, yes, but also to spanish, Poles, Russian, etc

Yes, i understood. I'm not saying this is a bad thing...i just said that, specially since they are planning to make it fully voiced in all languages, it would require more effort than the possible return it would offer due the speaking population size. If it was "just" translating the game it would be np, but for every language they need a localization team exactly to keep translations going, a GM team for that language and probably, from 2.0 on, a team for voiced content.

And this not to say a new forum category, which would eventually require a band new community rep staff for it.

Sorry if i meant "discriminatory" regarding italian...that was not the idea. I just was pointing the effort required to add a new language to the game.
