>when yoshi said no FT normal mode was a "cost" issue, that's just a mistranslation!! People need to translate the original japanese!!
Uhm... ackshually? *adjusts glasses*

While the use of "cost" in the last LL did lead to people arguing about what they actually meant, whether it was money, manpower, time, or all 3, and people WERE quick to call it a mistranslation from the unofficial r/ffxiv translations ... while we were having these arguments, JP was having the exact same arguments! See:

Not even JP knew for sure whether Yoshida was referring to money, manpower, time, or all 3, because Yoshida only said "cost" there too. So now comes the LL digest, and the JP digest still doesn't clarify what they mean by cost, while the EN digest does, and now this lead to JP players using the EN digest instead of their own digest: https://ff14net.2chblog.jp/archives/62468902.html

So yeah the issue of miscommunication isn't just a matter of translation, even in JP this was poorly communicated.
