Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?

OH NOES!!! A mere 1.03 M players. Whatever will squenix do?
I honestly believe that a smaller community can be a good thing. FFXI used to have around 500k players consistently, and we had an awesome vibe back then. It's not about the money; it's about having a solid community instead of just trying to please shareholders.

Yeah, and those opinion videos mean about the same as your posts.

I've been saying what I just said for years because every time you say something nasty, they add another trans. (Let women enjoy for themselves.)
Neither way, we are gonna raise wimps.

nah. Draylo has been crying about FF14, a game he doesn't play, for years, and everyone on this website knows it. Nice try though. Maybe next time. (though I doubt it)

Why are we multiple years into AI and LLMs but still have language barrier with JP players?

why there is no addon solution yet Don't think there's a LLM-based translation service that both provides an API and is free/unauthed. At the very least, it's likely an addon would require the user to create an account with the service it's based on and set up authentication in the addon to be able to do sufficient queries. Most likely, they'd also have to fund the account and pay the LLM provider.

There is no real language barrier, there is a cultural barrier. They don't wanna play with us. I know plenty of JP players who can speak english really well, and they pretend they don't cause they find western players weird asf to play with.
This is probably at least partially true on most servers. The JP who want to include NA players do exist, but are the minority. In that regard, not much has changed in 20 years. Can't say I really blame them.

There are applications for example for image generation that are based on one of the smaller LLM libraries. Not sure if you have to create a account but afaik it's a one time payment, no monthly fees and your queries are processed on your lokal machine.
Takes quite a while to generate a image in particular without a RTX card and the results are often pretty disappointing. I think installation size of that library is around 4 or 8 GB.
Afaik the huge scrapped data sets are opensource so anyone could grab it and build a app around it?
I know that most JP don't want to play with foreigners but I'm sure their subscriber numbers aren't rising either.

Can't say I really blame them. I do blame them if they are of the group who hate NA players because back in 2002, those sirry gaijin stupid NA players who had been playing for 5 days didnt know everything they had learned in their one-year head start and still harbor a grudge 22 years later.

Asian version often has Japanese VA with regional localized text unless it's western game. Afaik FF7R Asian release on PSN is Korean/Chinese sub + English or Japanese VA. If you start a "no Japanese VA, no buy" campaign like Asians do, then maybe you'll get that too.
English version often has English dub because there is significant amount of English users who prefer listening to dialogue instead of reading text. So the result just reflects English user's preference.

VA = voice acting?
My issue doesn't lie there. All of SE's English version releases of their Japanese-developed games that I've played in the past ~10 years included dual Japanese + English VA options. They perhaps acknowledged that many English-speaking fans are into anime & would appreciate an option to play in the original Japanese dub. What I'm asking for is having properly-translated subs in English (or even Arabic, but that seems pretty unlikely) instead of the localization dubtitles, since they take so many liberties with the English localization. I usually tolerate it better than some of my friends, but it creates unbearable dissonance in some cases.
Then there is this Spanish dude who was complaining on Youtube that their region's releases come with only English VA and Spanish subs that are based on the original JP dialogue, creating the same problem. They have to rely on the South American version's subs to avoid the jarring experience, because the SA subs are based on the English localization!
Like, what the heck SE?

huh that is an interesting rendition of the telephone game, I would likely also be unhappy being forced to play XD
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
