Since the start of early access of FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers, we are experiencing high server congestion with far more than expect access volume.

We had temporarily increased the maximum number of players that can play on each World. However, certain Worlds are already close to surpassing this number during peak hours, and players may experience extended waiting queue of more than a thousand.

■ JP Data Center
Tonberry
Chocobo

■ NA Data Center
Gilgamesh
Leviathan
Cactuar

■ EU Data Center
Cerberus
Odin
Ragnarok
Shiva

With everyone's cooperation of utilizing the World Visit System or logging off when not actively playing, even with the Worlds reaching the maximum number of players, players can usually login within a certain interval, and the login cycle has been stabilizing.

Tomorrow, July 2, 2019 is the official launch day for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers, and we are expecting an even higher access volume than what we currently have. We will continue to monitor the situation and ensure the accommodation of as many players as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenient the congestion has caused, and thank you for your patience and cooperation.
