    Many players also believe that the Japanese script is so much better than the English localization, which is not without flaws.

    Why should that experience be blockaded by a language barrier? Especially when the translation work has already been done, it just needs to be tested and implemented?

    Why some people are not supportive of this is beyond me, especially when the localized option would still be there for you to enjoy.

    So learn Japanese. There are so many online resources to help you. And guess what? Immersion is the best way to learn a language, so playing FFXIV in Japanese will also help! FFXIV in Japanese doesn't even have the Ye Olde Timey dialect that the English version does.

    Why is it only English speakers who have this kind of entitlement? Native Spanish speakers, Portuguese speakers, Chinese speakers outside of China, Russians, Ukrainians, speakers of every other European language besides French/German/English, Arabic speakers, Africans, etc etc etc. play this game in their second and third languages every single day.
