The Case for Spanish -- A Letter of Hope

[BadOmen]

I love story so i love doing missions, i love doing quest and everything, i can imagine how frustrating could be not be able to read as fast as english gamers and then they push you to skip CS and chit chat from quest, and miss what you must love.... im pro to it, my language isnt english either, and i had my brother in XI quit it cause he couldnt understand it, i bet he not only one , SE would expand their customer base if they expand their language options in game too.

They need to add LANG files similar to several open source projects (i.e., phpbb web forum). This way users can create their own "language pack". Saves SE from doing the work, and the supported languages would skyrocket.

Well, IMO it's nice you guys posting in spanish here (since i speak portuguese i understand most of it) but having a topic with spam of spanish posts won't help much... ^^:

If you want to write in spanish, do like those who put it in EN and spanish because it's very possible that some of the community reps might not understand the posts (they actually don't "need" to understand right now since it's an english forum), not really helping much with the topic proposal...after all they can't help if they can't understand you.

But yep, it's what Brigandier said above...i don't want user-made language packs because it need to be something PS3 users can use too, but allowing the community to help translating to non-official languages would speed-up the cration of these features and, this way, all SE would need is someone too coordenate what to translate.

Well i really agree with this post and i would really like to have Spanish language added to the translation. Since well in my server i know of at least 1 "latino" linkshell and 1 linkshell from europe.

It is very odd that they let this out. I hope this does change so that more people can enjoy this game ^^

Hola, Soy XakaL XIV en Besaid y deberian hacer caso a los hispanos (para variar), quien sabe, quizas sea uno de los muchos impulsos que le hace falta al juego para que la gente se animen a probarlo.

Lo que veo claro es que si quieren tener mas ventas deberian pensar en Traducir el Juego, al menos la historia y las Quest. Muchos conocidos ni lo prueban al no estar en Español, ¿para que comprarte un juego en donde la gente te tiene que contar como es la historia y demas?.

Para los tipicos que dicen "aprende Ingles" por esa regla que no traduzcan el juego a ningun idioma y que todos aprendan Japones, ¿no?, ¿Que pasa que el dinero de los Hispanos es menos valioso que el de los Ingleses, Alemanes y Franceses?. Mirar las ventas del WoW antes de estar traducido al Español y despues de Traducirlo, sobran palabras.

PD: Si quereis este texto en Ingles usar algun Traductor y vereis lo mal que lo pasamos con la historia del juego y muchas quest.

Ya se que no es para eso, lo dije primero porque un argentino dijo que pensaba que el unico argentino en jugar FFXIV y bueno, dije que habia en otros servidores y mi version del porque estamos todos separados. Ademas de eso luego explique lo que yo pensaba del juego en español.

I am not a native Spanish speaker, but I would be a huge proponent of Spanish language intergration. I don't know about the world domination comments, (>.>; but there definitely should be auto-translate options, and gameplay options.

Spanish/Latino community is in this game a fact, we are everywhere and in every server, and this is not new at all for Square-Enix, who should mind already to know that most of us are not only loyal to this game, but we were also loyal to this company since back in Final Fantasy XI times...
We never got heard, helped or replied, and this is not only an In-game matter, because if we have any kind of problem and we need to contact SE, we are also facing the problem of how to explain ourselves properly in order to be understood.
Spanish-speaking players have always tried to catch SE attention.. we got signatures for over 2000 players that were interested on having the chance to play this game in spanish back before it was released, and still it was unheard.

For most of the companies, included SE, the Spanish/Latino community its not under their interest for who knows what reason, but hey, we are guilty for that also, as I mentioned before, we are very loyal, but we should stop and think about if it worth our money to be "used" like this by the companies.

Do we pay exactly the same for a monthly service? no, because we have no service, we have no support and they dont care. a service should be in the language that the costumer speaks , so the game should be translated too (they have a team who translates SE games to Spanish in London so...)

I would be happy just if SE replies to us and tells us why it is not translated. but i wont expect too much from them.
