Sorry if this has been posted already but how come lots of FFXI is still in English because of all the screenshots ive seen. Because the Japanese players won't be able to read that can they? |  | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 02-04-2003, 04:35 AM | #2 (permalink) | | J...atatouille Super Moderator Join Date: Dec 2002 Posts: 8,338 Style: Light - Version 5 My Mood:  Thanks: 5

The messege from NPC and other thing else in game will all be in japanese.  There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Gil: 810 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 810 Donate | I think Bry is reffering to the fact that the maps, char titles on char selection etc are in English.
Guess Japanese just like English lol Hoppkins - Red Mage - Ragnarok

a lot of things are MUCH easier to represent in English than in any kana...
also, to jp people who don't understand much english, it gives the game a non-domesticated feel.
Online RPGs like Nobunga's Ambition are 100% in Japanese, but that game is truly meant for the hardcore jp history buffs. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 02-04-2003, 05:43 AM | #6 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2002 Posts: 274 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 3,959 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 3,959 Donate | Actually most japanese are required to take English class in high school. This doesnt mean that every japanese person can read and write english, much less speak, but at least 80% have been exposed to enough english to recognise a few words. Think of this as a forign language class in american high schools, except that it is required not optional. Most people I talk to don't remember a thing from thier forign language classes. =P JYAN ~No song is good without... Oh, cake, Yum!!~

Thanked 136x in 106 Posts Gil: 25,303 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 25,303 Donate | oh i see. i personally think that they make names and graphics and stuff in english so they will have easier time transferring the game into english version. There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.
