Right, because I like having to watch a scene in a different language and needing subtitles for it.

I'll concede the voice acting aint bad in JPN either, but there's a pacing problem for me. See, I know where the end of the sentence is in ENG and can quickly flip the dialogue box to keep things rolling steadily. Can't with JPN. I'm constantly always trying to figure out if the sentence ended or if they're just taking a breath. Now if they gave me an option to just keep the conversation going without having to hit the next button that'd be great. Cause I'll be honest, the old english and arbitrary word fluff certainly grates on my nerves at times. Feelin like Alisaie listening to these people make a paragraph out of a single sentence.

They actually just added that in 3.5, press space in a dialogue

May I suggest using an abbreviation that isn't highly racist or offensive?

How is it racist or offensive? it's the same as saying fr or en or whatever

The equivalent to FR or EN is JPN or JP. I don't want to derail the thread going into it, just look it up.

It's a WWII term to insult the Japanese and the Imperial Army. Certain 'slogans' were made from it too, hence, why it's offensive. Now, back to FFXIV!

It's a WWII term to insult the Japanese and the Imperial Army.

There exists a lot of common use terms that some religion/country/subset of population in their own region will found offensive because they are in their dialet or were in their past history.

Not everyone that write English in forum is an American that knows how American army people called the Japanese army in their history of WW2.

Then, as long as history were called, the term were not offensive at all, and later became so because the war between the U.S. and Japan.

I think the guy that called for "racism" and so on, overreacted and did not taken account this is an international forum.

And, nailing to the topic, this is also an example of how difficult is making text for international purpose. You will found a number of hilarious (and not) names given by innocent companies to their products, but resulted in high embarassment when exported
