    Language correction

    After seeing the trailer and the background of Far Cry 4, I wanted to write something to the team who created this game.
    The location it has used is Nepal and the story is all about a Kyrat guy named Ajay Ghale. The major mistake that the team made here is the language it has used in the game. It has used Hindi language but Nepal is a sovereign country and it has its own language called Nepali. So I would like to request the team to correct the language it has used in the game..

    Kyrat isn't Nepal. Kyrat is an imaginary country. They claim that Kyrat is based on Nepal and countries like it. Your argument is invalid.

    His argument is not invalid because, they say it takes place in the Himalayas, majority of which is in Nepal, not India. If it's all about fiction why did not just create a language? Also the weapon they use called khukuri is Nepali. I was born and raised in Nepal and I am proud of being Nepali. Because of movies and different types of games, a lot of people think the Himalayas are in India instead of Nepal. Buddha was born in India instead of Nepal and those are only two examples out of the thousands out there. Think about it this way, what if they made a game based on "a fictional version" of the Great Wall Of China and had the natives there speak Japanese. People would be outraged. It just doesn't make sense.

    Kryat is fictional.. however the Himalayas are obviously a real place on earth - but I see that as something that creates immersion in a game, not as a true representation of the real place. Sometimes the guns in games are not 100% correct but I mean how far must a dev go to get every single detail right? Fair point tho, especially if you live Nepal

    Hopefully Ubisoft focused on making a good game not appeasing the internet people who look around for things to be outraged at. I say again; Kyrat is fictional. Also the himalayas are mostly in China.
