Hi![]()
I'm sure there are older threads about more localizations and localization issues and in the early stages of this forum we could probably find threads about more languages to translate this game.
Well, as I couldn't find anything recent for this last subject, I decided to make this one.
The thing is:
It's 2022 and this is an MMO. Many games since early 2010 are released in a myriad of languages. The first question is: why not FFXIV?
I really think it'spassingtime for more languages this game is translated into. I don't mean full localization with voice overs, but only limited localization like texts.
I can imagine that new full localizations after so much content released over the years would be painful and expensive to make. But, the same cannot be said for just texts. UI translations, text from all sources in game like books, dialogues, quests... This can be done very easily, in my opinion.
And for which languages?
Probably for spanish at least. But ideally also for portuguese, italian, russian, korean, etc...
I would really appreciate it if the Yoshi-P team work on this sometime in the near future.
In Brazil, I know a lot of people interested in playing this game, but they lack the basics of english language, making them afraid to try it and opt for other MMO games (released with portuguese option from the beginning).
It's very annoying to see one of the most famous and successful MMO like FFXIV with only a few languages to play in forcing some to rely on translation prohibited addons...
So what do you guys think? Is it worth trying to have this topic in 2022? Am I being naive?
Can we assume that SE doesn't give a *crap* about other languages??
How would you feel if your language wasn't inside a top-notch MMO on the market, while many others do??
