    I don't get all the complaining about maintenance. The NA data center maintenance is done like at 11pm-2am PST usually like last night, or in the morning 8am-10am. Do you really need to play that late at night / early morning? Those are the off hours that very few people. Yes it can be bad if you have a job where you normally play late at night or early in the morning but that isn't the cast for most people.

    Notice the groups are not mixed by physical location of the datacenters but grouped by physical location.

    So again how does the PS4 beta which is located on the Japanese Datacenter effect the NA/EU Datacenter when each physical Datacenter has its own World Servers and Instance Servers.
    If that's the case then why even have the language choices at the top of the Duty Finder? The instance servers don't just draw from a single region, they draw from all regions. You don't see alot of people from those other regions probably because the Duty Finder weighs you more heavily against regions that speak your language than it does others. I've been partied with people from Japan and French areas before both pre- and post Data Center restructuring so the instance servers aren't as focused as you seem to believe.

    There are some people who work nights that I would feel bad for during an early day maitinence, but the majority who play these hours are unemployed or schoolchildren, and for them I just laugh.

    Personal preference. There's a person in my FC who lives in west coast Canada who speaks better English than I do and plays the game in Japanese.

    Hello,

    We'd like to take a moment to explain a bit about why we announce the Hotfix details at the timing that we do.

    The reason we announce details during maintenance, or directly after, is because the maintenance are often focused on fixing bugs. As you can imagine, there are some bugs that we do not want people utilizing and therefore do not want to announce them ahead of time. Due to this, our rule is that we do not announce the content of these types of maintenance until it takes place.

    On the other hand, when there is a large scale patch like patch 2.1, we release the information ahead of time and we will be doing the same for patch 2.2.

    However, even for these large scale patches, if there are bug fixes that occur at the same time for such things as changes to item buyback prices, or other things related to the economy, we will not be announcing this beforehand and it will be released after the maintenance takes place.

    Moving forward we will be looking into ways to improve aspects, but currently we will be announcing patch and Hotfix content based on the above policy.

    isn't that the point of "emergency" maintenance?

    honestly though they just need to move their servers to some place that isn't choking all the traffic (or get amazon to host their servers or something).

    This is my final response regarding this:

    Lodestone Topic

    The following are the results of the maintenance that occurred on Sep. 3, 2013 from around 5:00 p.m. to Sep. 4, 2013 around 2:10 a.m. (PDT).

    -Alleviating Stress on Duty Finder Servers This maintenance has implemented countermeasures to alleviate the stress on servers. Previously, matching took place across all servers in the various region data centers, but following this maintenance, matching will now take place within the selected groups below.

    *Japan Data Center

    -Group 1
    Aegis / Alexander / Atomos / Carbuncle / Chocobo /
    Gungnir / Ifrit / Ixion / Ramuh / Ridill / Titan /
    Typhon / Valefor

    -Group 2
    Anima / Bahamut / Durandal / Fenrir / Garuda / Hades /
    Kujata / Mandragora / Masamune / Tiamat / Tonberry /
    Ultima

    *North American/European Data Centers

    -Group 1
    Adamantoise / Balmung / Cactuar / Diabolos / Exodus /
    Goblin / Hyperion / Lamia / Malboro / Moogle / Odin /
    Ragnarok / Siren

    -Group 2
    Behemoth / Cerberus / Coeurl / Excalibur / Faerie /
    Gilgamesh / Leviathan / Midgardsormr / Phoenix /
    Sargatanas / Shiva / Ultros
    The answer to your DF ? is simple. Anyone is free to create a character on any server regardless of native language. So why remove the DF feature.
