Petition for Spanish Translation of Final Fantasy XIV

[ChocoFeru]

Dear Fellow Adventurers,
On behalf of the Spanish-speaking community of Final Fantasy XIV, “FFXIVESP”, with over 5400 players, I address you with a heartfelt plea.

We are a passionate group of gamers who have long awaited the opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in the world of Eorzea in our native language. While we love Final Fantasy XIV and its world, its lack of Spanish translation has created a significant barrier for many potential players.

It's no secret that there is a vast number of Spanish-speaking gamers eager to play Final Fantasy XIV and the upcoming Dawntrail expansion.
Even we, as content creators centered on Final Fantasy XIV, face immense challenges in reaching a broader audience to play our beloved game. While we provide the community with resources, guides and entertainment in our language, the in-game language barrier limits our ability to showcase the game to our fellow Spanish-speaking gamers.

Furthermore, FFXIVESP boasts a thriving community with a substantial number of active users. When compared to other language communities that have an official translation, FFXIVESP consistently demonstrates similar engagement and participation. Our community's robust presence underscores the demand and necessity for a Spanish translation of Final Fantasy XIV, as it would not only fulfill the needs of our existing members, but also attract new players to join this world.

We are aware of the limitations and the reasons why a translation into Spanish has not yet been made, but we also know that there are people willing to collaborate in its translation and that they meet all the requirements for it. We’re not asking for full support in Spanish, as we’re used to not having the games dubbed in our language, we just want to be able to understand the dialogues in the game.

Therefore, we urge Square Enix to consider the immense potential and the significant impact that an official Spanish translation of Final Fantasy XIV would have on the community, and we encourage all Warriors of Light around the world to support this petition.

Together, let’s unite our voices in support of a Final Fantasy XIV accessible to all Spanish-speaking Warriors of Light and those to come. Let’s show Square Enix the depth of our passion and the strength of our community!

Thank you for your support and solidarity.
Sincerely,
FFXIVESP’s Spanish Community.

About FFXIVESP:

We do what a normal Final Fantasy XIV community does; Bring people together, Information, in-game events, translations… but we are more than just a normal community.

Thanks to our healthy community, we dared to do charity events to help kids fight cancer, where content creators and famous people like Alex Moukala, Husky, Yoshi-P, Koji and so on helped us reach our goals and managed to raise over 17.000 Euros.
First event (FFXIV based): https://twitter.com/FFXIVESP/status/1566798207216123906
Second Event (Final Fantasy based): https://twitter.com/EcosDelCristal/s...21434934337846

We do IRL meetups, like the one we did last year in the Fan Festival in London where many of our community showed up, collaborations with media like Eurogamer where we covered the Live Letter in Las Vegas, interviews with renowned individuals such as Susan Calloway, we even spoke about Final Fantasy XIV in front of an audience on a big gaming event so people could know more about our beloved game, and so on…

Our goal is not only to unite the Spanish-speaking community from around the world, but also to encourage people to play this wonderful game, showing them what this world that we love so much is like.

We will continue working hard to grow this community.
Thanks a lot for your support!

Please! We're more than used to not having a dub, or support for games in spanish but just having the dialogues and menus in our language would be really helpfull both as content creators and players!! Many people says always that they're not purchasing the game cuz it's not in spanish and is a big wall we can't overcome even tho we know the game is awesome! please SE we're more than willing to help! we know people already working on translations from japanese like de FFXIV Fandub! and many other people that can work on it!

Un placer apoyar la causa y luchar por una traducción al español por fin :3

Would be nice to have one of the most spoken languages in the world supported indeed, don't need a fully dubbed experience, as that might also spark controversies, but just a text translation would make the game so much more accessible.

I am fully in favour of this initiative, I will stand firm with it and I hope that our wish will come true. <3

Piro más más or Piro plus plus?
Dragontino or Draconarius?
