I find the characters in this game really ugly/weird

EDIT: I noticed this guy tried to troll my thread over there too, but his Japanese is so bad it he ended up literally insulting himself instead of me.

Uh... sorry to break it to you, but I'm a native Japanese speaker (bilingual with English) and your Japanese is VERY questionable. Everybody in the Japanese forum are talking in a very polite manner, while you just come off as rude in the posts you posted over there. I really hate to say it, but I strongly suggest you stick with the English forums. Is there any reason in particular that you were posting in the Japanese forums in the first place?

I wish you could be more specific. I had no problem when I lived in Japan, either people didn't seem to care then, the words in particular are a problem this time, or it's been a while since I tried a conversation. I do play the game in Japanese and am more used to that informal/rude manner of speech you see in anime and games that isn't used as much daily.

I kind of lost interest in this discussion after I saw some other people's screenshots with high level graphics and I changed race. I thought it would be more obvious what I was referring to originally but not everyone seems to feel it.

Well, there's your problem. That "manner of speech" is only in anime and games because it's useful to the narrative, not because Japanese people actually speak that way, and especially not in the Japanese FFXIV community. I would advise getting rid of those habits before you get into a seriously bad conflict that you could avoid. And while learning some Japanese from anime and manga is okay, you shouldn't rely on it as your primary source of Japanese language learning.
There's this thing called "keigo" (敬語) in Japanese, and it seems like you haven't been using it at all. I would suggest learning it - how and when to use it - some more if you really wish to continue playing the game in Japanese.
Otherwise, do remember that "JP server" means "located in Japan", not "Japanese language", so you don't absolutely have to use Japanese. Assuming your profile saying that you are in the Kujata world is correct, that world has a relatively large English-speaking player base, so you could try to stick with that.

Also do remember that art is subjective. There WILL be people that disagree with you. Deal with it.
