This is kinda off topic, but when I clicked the link to where it details what's on FFXIapp, I almost punched a wall: Japanese to English translator. Just WTF. I'd get this program for this option ALONE. Do you know how much this would open up the game and break down the walls if this was implemented? This kind of stuff should have been in the game since day friggin ONE!
I'm surprised that something like this is available to be made ingame and shocked at the fact that it took some outside programmer to create/implement something so useful, obvious and most importantly NOT A CHEAT. SE has no reason for not putting this into the game from the start. This gives no one an advantage over anyone else and I'm truly pissed that we havent seen anything like this ever done for this game. Shit, if someone else was able to do it, why not the devs to this game! Was anyone else as shocked/annoyed at the fact that we have the ablility to talk to our JP friends in realtime without having to <Meat> <Jerkin> around with the auto-translate since we dont obviously have to?
/fume off.
