JP Community of this game

[MistyMew]

people are people, na/jp is irrelevant.

met some nice jp players in my 10+ years of ffxi and some insanely rude, and self centered ones too.
exact same for na/eu as well.

have seen many many shouts for "jp only" for parties in 11, never once though seen, "english only" as a requirement from na/eu shouts.

there is good and bad in every culture, none is superior to another in my books.
there are skilled players in every culture as well, again not one is any "more skilled" at mashing buttons lol, lets face it thats what ALL these games are anyway, it isnt rocket science.

why even talk about different cultures in the game, it shouldnt matter, let alone singled out like this (for good or bad tbh) O.o

Welll... It is obvious that the japanese culture has different standards of communication. And of course there are rude japanese players, but they are the minority. Opposite to Na/eu in which the rude people are the majority. Just different values and priorities. Also,, the % of mental illnesses ( diagnosted and not) is higher in the western communities.

Took the words right outa my mouth.

I'm on a JP server, was an awesome choice. It completely suits my style, plus the connection is fantastic for me here in Masamune.
I have all my friends playing with me here and there are plenty of other English speaking players here also.

Being one of the first NA high lvl players back when FFXI released, I had the privilege of grouping with many jp players, as a majority of the people my level at the time were..jp players.

It went a little something like this:

Me: "Looking for exp group, DPS"

Get invite to group.

Group: <something in japanese>

Me: "Hello all!"

Group: "JP ONLY" followed by an immediate kick.

The only thing more annoying than the whiners of the NA community? The one's who worship jp culture and just have to boast about how their JP servers are so much better, even though a majority of the time they're simply looking through rose colored glasses.

90% of my experience with the Duty Finder on an NA server has been positive, I only see spammers in the market zones for the most part. That must mean everyone shares my experience, therefore NA servers are superior! Right?!

/yawn, They're people, just like NA, get over it.

This is priceless the way they are attacking the people supporting the Japanese just proves their point... awesome.
these people are not "Toxic" for pointing out that the NA audience is a bunch of rude and obnoxious kids. If your making a big deal out of that statement your a little late to the world stage.... we are generally disliked by other countries because of the attitudes we have. I have resigned myself to the truth that a lot of us are entitled brats. these posts was like watching the opposing side prove the OP's point, awesome thread.

This is the kind of jealousy that makes NA servers the way they are. I don't think JP players are better, they are about the same on average, their culture however is vastly superior and anyone with a clue knows even if you haven't played their that their servers would mostly likely have better communities. Just like Korean servers of games usually have much better players than NA servers because in their culture you have to take gaming very seriously if you are a gamer.

I'm not sure if you realize how bad you sounded there, judging from other posts in this thread, many don't either.

Nothing like a broad worship of the JP players to showcase how little you actually understand their culture. There are just as many terrible JP as NA/EU, they just show it in different ways.

This is the kind of jealousy .

Sorry but this is a load of garbage xD. This is exactly the obsession with the JP community i so dislike. Most JP players i met in XI were seriously bad (meele RDM yay in a XP party) or just weird stuff which was pointless and made no sense whatsoever. And skill i would say they are below average. Most Bosses/Events in XI and XIV got beaten first by NA or EU community's. The JP's just trot behind.

Oh and let's not forget the amazing JP ONRY shit we got for over 10 years from this AMAZING and friendly community.... yeah my ass.

Don't get me wrong i love the Music, Movies, Anime's, Mangas etc. But the extreme racist culture towards western people is just sick

[Theref]

I by no mean have no intention to speak ill on our fellow english speaking players, be it NA/EU. I didn't say anything about Japanese being much better, JP > NA; JP > All; No. I posted this thread to share you my experience that I had during hours spent on this server (And that happen to be Japan server). That's it. Love and Peace to everyone

[Wiggles]

On NA Diablos I always find friendly people in the DF. Ya there are the elitists as well, but thats literally everywhere in the world, not just localised to NA.

I guess Japan follows the way of bushido right? Thats why they are so kind and honorable right?! You dont even read Japanese you couldnt possibly notice if someone was being nasty or toxic. It doesnt matter where you were raised or live, there are good and bad people everywhere...
