First Thread, Durandal English speakers holla!

[Desirai]

I am on Durandal .... don't know why. I live in the USA. My friends are on Hyperion so I had to make a character there to play with them. I made it during the last beta a couple days ago. But I want my first character .....

Hello all.

Nice to see some English speakers sticking around. I, and a few other English speakers who live in Japan have a bilingual LS (http://nocturne.guildwork.com/) and we encourage other bilingual players to apply. Most of our (small) member base belong to the same Japanese FC and we are able to sponsor applications as such but require the applicant be able to communicate in Japanese coherently as not to cause strife during events.

Sorry for the vaguely-related question, but I don't know who to ask - is there a way for English client users to flip between English and Japanese text input in game? I can do it in PSO2 no problem, but when I try to use the same method in FFXIV (language bar->Japanese) nothing happens. Any ideas to help me communicate with Jp players directly rather than through Auto Translate?

Hey Rau! Hey Niashi! ^^/ I want to get home soon and play >.< (currently on a trip)

If you're talking about on a windows computer, first make sure you install the jp ime. By default, it'll be in english mode. You'll want to alt-left shift to get to the right input (if you're like me and have more than 2). For hiragana input, do alt-~ (hold alt and press the tilda key) hiragana mode. FFXIV isn't like ffxi where all the input are managed by the program. It looks like it'll accept just about any text the system can handle.

With that said, ffxi crashed when I tried chinese. Like to try it in chinese on ffxiv. ^^

Hello! man, it's awesome to see that there are some english speakers that have stuck around. I was here in 1.0, and like most kinda gave up. With all the new changes I'm hoping to be playing for like the next five years.

We have a small group of four or five that are going to be on regularly. LS and FC will be up soon, and we're hoping to grow. Anyone is welcome to hang out! We are casual, and not at all super hard core. We just like to have fun. (We're drunk a lot when we play) Message me if you're looking for some english guys and girls to hang out with!
