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.
