The problem appeared, when I began to play FF12. English is rather complicated there in dialogs, really hard to understand many things. The same problem I have in FF14.

    Why localization stuff uses so complicated English, really hard to understand what is written in the dialogs. Don't you understand, that a lot of players don't have as the native language any of the languages the game has as localization?

    Dead localization stuff, please, use more simple English in you texts. Thank you

    Most of the English in the game is fairly normal English, without anything really hard to understand. There are some cases where certain NPCs use a more archaic variant of English, but again nothing truely difficult to understand.
    Yes, people lacking in knowledge of English may find it difficult to comprehend, but they can always view it as an opportunity to improve their lingustic skills.

    Personally I like the use of different registers of English depending on the speaker. It adds flavour and gives each of the speakers a little more personality. Making it all simple and easy to understand would just make it blander.

    (And in case you were wondering: English is not my native language either, but I have no problem at all understanding the English used in the game.)
