    Supporting other charactersets

    Ok, so the premise behind this is, is that there seems to be a lot of people from Arabic countries playing this game (of which Arabic is their mother tongue). But the FFXIV chat box doesn't support it. I've noticed it supports the Cyrillic alphabet, but I feel that other alphabets should be supported. For the example below I will be referencing Arabic, but other character sets also apply.

    I feel this would make it a lot easier to communicate, as even though I don't speak Arabic myself, I can run information through Bing Translate, convert it to Arabic, and send them it. This then saves every individual Arabic player for example having to run through translate themselves (I played in an FC with a lot of Arabic players for example, some of them on PS4).

    Now, that being said, I'm not asking for FFXIV to be localised for the Arabic/other languages as I feel that would be too much work, but I do believe supporting other alphabets should be a relatively simple change, and one that would improve the QoL for many users not using standard Latin script/Kana keyboards.

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    Cyrillic is supported because Japanese is supported and they use Cyrillic a lot in their emotes. ( ゚д゚)
