Motivation

This project was born from a personal need to fully experience FFXIV's storytelling as a non-native English speaker. Standard translation tools often fail to capture the depth, nuances, and character personalities that make the game's narrative special. MagicBabel aims to provide a more immersive experience by preserving these essential elements in translation.
