    Globalization & Localization, feedback on the ingame-items campaign(Dutch)

    A little excerpt... Literally the entire thing, honestly... Of what I sent to the ingame support desk for suggestions.. For I do not know where to best leave suggestions related to the news topics..
    Warning: This contains links to Dutch sites of Dutchy Dutchness and might scare those that try to read it and cannot comprehend our silly grammar... Think of it as a linguistic necronomicon!

    If anything is wrong or seems non-constructive? Let me know! I want to make a solid case/some suggestions, but never used the forums and I am by no means a diplomat/politician.

    Posting it in the first reply because of an apparent character limit! (This is my first time using this forum)

    The quote

    Here is the quote! Apparently need to cut it into two pieces.
    Greetings,

    In this age of globalization, localization for ingame items can be quite a bad idea, if I may say so. It halts progress to understanding of another's culture, it makes it harder for people that get the bad end of the deal, it irks people that already know of another's culture.
    Yes, part of me is referring to the qipao and hanbok once more, but the point of this message is:
    The partnered deals for the white chubby boko and maid outfits.
    Don't. Please, just don't. Magazines hurt your fans, it hurts the trust of fans of FFXIV. I saw that Belgian, a country where the half speaks French and the other Dutch, has to follow a magazine deal.. In French. Alienating half of the Belgians, as if they are not cared about!

    Part two

    Part two of the quote:

    True, part of this warning is in self preservation at this point. I know that for the Netherlands we will likely have to do some deal with the devil with a magazine from Gamekings... But why not make a deal with a Dutch gamer site loved for its news and give-aways/quizes? www.gamersnet.nl , to give Final Fantasy XIV more popularity in the Netherlands! Rather than pain the fans you currently have.
    Or you could do a deal with an online seller like www.bol.com that everybody uses in the Netherlands, like you did with Amazon. Want to stick to anime like Hanabee for Australia? https://www.archonia.com/mangashop/nl/
    Just ask/trust the locals, have a poll perhaps, rather than risking messing things up for them... Pretty please~!
