Final Fantasy 11 is an online game that was released all over the world. The American, European and Japanese versions were put on the same server so that we could all communicate and enjoy time together. By installing options such as the translator, Square has tried to make communication possible among players who dont speak each others language. But what about those of us that do. For those that speak Japanese you understand that trying to communicate in Japanese using any writing system other than Japanese is both trying and uninteresting. Many Japanese players dont want to group with foreigners because they dont feel like reading romaji for lengthened periods of time. And spelling mistakes are common when trying to write in an unnatural writing system. For those who are familiar with the language and typing it on a computer, the addition of Japanese support would increase the playabilty in international groups for both the Japanese and foreigners. If your computer has the needed support, there is no reason the game itself should not support it as well. I am therefore asking all those who would like to see Japanese language support in the North American and European versions to sign this petition for Square to include Japanese support in the next update or make it available as an option.

I have been hearing from so many of you who are tired of typing in romaji just to make a simple request in Vana'diel. It is frustrating to feel like the game is putting a wall between friends who speak the same language. I am currently working on a formal letter to send to the developers to explain how this simple change will bridge the gap for everyone.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels unreal. I started this because I just wanted to talk to my friends in the language we both know and it is incredible to see so many of you feeling the same frustration.

I play with Japanese friends all the time and it would make things so much easier if we could actually type in kanji. Game would be way better.

It is so annoying to try and type in romaji all the time when I just want to chat with my party. Please square enix fix this for us.
