Also if your schedule is outside of the norm you can just signup on a different region server.

thank goodness i will still have the global servers because i will take that option. you can use the regional one all you want.

very rarely do i have an issue with someone not attempting to use auto translation. maybe they only try to use it when they like someone.

I am glad that you are so awesomely popular.

IMO they don't bother with autotranslate because their population (according to my messing around with searchs) is between 3 and 4 times ours. So why bother with us when they are more likely to get someone who speaks their language.

One more point for us being condensed in official english language servers.

A lot of the Japanese I speak to says it's still too limited to be very useful in normal conversations, which is why it's more likely a conversation would be sparked if someone attempts to speak in a foreign language, since it shows you at least try to communicate haha.

Im just curious, as someone who has not played in awhile and honestly not sure when I will come back (looking like 2.0, but theres a chance some patch notes in the meantime may lure me back sooner), what will happen to my character when these server merges take place?

Ive been logging in briefly up until a few weeks ago - as Im sure if SE are clearing junk, the longer you have been inactive the more likely your account will be deleted. I was fairly happy they wouldnt delete it before 2.0 rolls out, til I read about the server merges, thats got me a little worried. I did work my ass off to get 2 chars up to lv30 or near enough in a half dozen classes, would hate to lose all that as my chars were on a server due to be axed, and since I didnt pick a new one - *wiped* >_<;

Well IMO using the autotranslator when we shout for people is more than showing we want to communicate. Really we aren't trying to converse here and AT is more than enough for instructions.

Absolutely nothing.

Most people have jobs, and in 99% of cases this will dictate when raids occur. It's no co-incidence that raids in NA LSs tend to start around 7-8 EST, a couple of hours after most Americans finish work. It's unfeasible to ask an NA LS to raid at 2pm EST to accommodate EU players because most Americans will be at work then. You seem to live in some world where everyone has free time 24/7 and can schedule shit whenever.

Regional servers does not prevent you from playing with other cultures and people from around the world anyway. You should do some research on the cultural diversity within Europe for example. I suppose it's a bit different for you in the US because you'd have the US and Canada, not a whole lot of regional diversity over there. NA/JP mixed servers work fine anyway, it's only EU players that get screwed.

that sounds more like an issue with the LS you may have joined


the secret is to find a LS in your region, regardless of what region the game goes, you will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS find people at different timezones within it

There are no EU linkshells on my server. There simply isn't enough people to form one, nevermind convincing people to abandon their current linkshells to group up.

Ignoring the fact my linkshell died when Star Wars was released, it did actually make an effort to accommodate EU players with a Sunday afternoon (US) raid. But most people want to play more than once a week.

Actually that's the problem with these foreveralones, they are a minority but still keep pushing for everything to change so it favors their kind only.

They said they wouldn't be deleting any characters under any circumstances. My guess is any characters created before the server transfers will get "marked" and whenever you reactivate and log in again, those marked characters will be given an offer to transfer servers.

It seems like they want this game to fail. Just call it a loss and release FFXV in 2013?

I haven't read anything but this last page, and all it is is Crylean being Crylean.
