Barrett even brings it up in his log after he’s captured. That as soon as they jump communication will go from instantaneous to years to arrive.

Communication works at lightspeed. Since many systems are multiple light years away from each other, you’d have to wait years for a reply to your communication. That wouldn’t work.

In universe it actually makes sense that phones won’t work intergallactically. Grav jumps enable ships to travel across solar systems, but everything else is still limited to the speed of light. So realistically you can’t talk to someone in real time unless they are on the same planet as you.

I don’t think it nails the promises it tried to make at launch about how PvP and the economy should work but there’s an enjoyable game…

Scots Gaelic predates Squaresoft’s translation foilbles by hundred’s of years, so I can understand the frustration.

Also put me in the “I always said Ket Shee” group, I looked it up when I was a kid playing FF7. 

Horseshit. If the term’s actual history was important to the game, then I’d give it to you. But it’s not.
