There's always some bad apples in every settlements. Don't just stereotyping things easily. I played across 2 servers now, and believe me, it's actually easier to find jerks when they speak same language as yours rather than having to deal with diff. language which only left you wondering whether they're making fun of you or just being nice.

But all in all, every side has their own advantages & disadvantages. Every one of us just have to deal with it, or... bail out if you can't. Hopefully, it's not the latter.

Just a warning, those Masamune players are all troublemakers.

There's all sorts of half naked shenangians and inappropriate goings on in that server.

Excuse me... Half naked? Please sir, I rather like running around in my undies while wearing a horse mask. Half naked he says! What an insult

At first evrrything norm. Then suddenly JP only everywhere...

I'm gonna be off topic here. But just wanna say something about the JP ONLY thing that's irritating alot of people.

Imagine yourself as a japanese, that only speaks japanese, and can only converse/understand english at kindergarten level. How are you gonna communicate with non-japanese people besides saying hello, thank you, good bye.

It's the same for me. Sometimes, I use party finder, i would put "English speaking players please. Japanese that understand english is also welcomed." Maybe the sentence I put would "look" more polite, but it's generally the meaning of EN Only.

I'm from masamune and the JP Only in PF(party finder) is happening alot. it's understandable since it only comes up after more and more people doing extreme primals, and getting stuck in them. PF is finding random people to fill in the slots and go do the dungeon together. You cannot guarantee that the person joining knows what to do. so explaination is important for every roles.

So, please do not take it so seriously and get offended when you see JP only.

it's the same thing as japanese calling non-japanese 外人(gaijin). If you're chinese and can read the word. it's really kinda offensive. But it's actually a normal term for japanese to call other people than their own.

Back on topic, I'm kinda 1/2 1/2 on this. Yes I would of course like to really use the EN in DF to group up with people from Tonberry. But isn't it because the population is too big for these 2 server to be grouped together and the reason both world is split into different data center? I kinda remember the instance server kept crashing during the early months of FFXIV, and queues were really long wait due to all popular instance dungeons being full.

We need more support!

o/ Pretty sad now that most of the Party Finder has JP only nowadays,
During 2.0 I had the chance to join JP party and things do work out with a little bit of translation, Now by saying Hi!, you get booted out..

Wish I could join EU/NA servers but the latency is bad coming from S.E.A.
I wish we could have a dedicated (official) English Only server based in Japan

But for now joining DF with Tonberry seems good enough. considering that I have to queue for so long

外人(gaijin). If you're chinese and can read the word. it's really kinda offensive. But it's actually a normal term for japanese to call other people than their own.

Regarding this.

In Chinese, 外人 (Wai Ren) means people from outside, not at all offensive. In Chinese usage, we use it normally to mean people not from our family, people not from our company, people not from our school, etc.. The really offensive word for foreigners in Chinese, is 洋鬼子.

For Japanese, however, 外人 (Gaijin) is sometimes used with a negative connotation, and some Japanese people will tell you it is derogatory, so much so, that they prefer to say 外国人 (Gaikokujin), literally "foreigner" instead. Most Japanese, however, don't use it in the derogatory sense; as poipoy says above. Many expats in Japan also don't find it derogative and many call themselves Gaijin, too. It's more a topic of political correctness really.

Back on topic, Japanese people generally like to keep to their own, and putting Masamune and Tonberry in the same data center will most likely make a lot of Japanese players happy, too, in addition to making queues faster for the EN people on these two servers.
