Important Announcement from the Devs!!

Please no language specific servers.

I also don't understand what he's trying to say in the quote above. Not treating the language servers as new worlds? I'm confused. They shouldn't exist in the first place, but what exactly does this mean?

.. Please clarify again? ^^;

What does this mean? They're going to make the current servers the language specific ones and players will be forced to either play on servers different from their own language or move to one of the others? Surely that's a bit..

I'm really having a hard time understanding what Naoki Yoshida is saying there. I there really no way to make it any clearer?

By no means am I trying to one-up Bayohne's translation, but here's my attempt:

これは既存サーバーはグローバルサーバーとなるんでしょうか。
そうなると言語別サーバーは新設ワールドとして扱われるのでしょうから
既存サーバーにいる人は一定期間あけないと言語別サーバーには行けないという事になるんでしょうか。
期間の長さにもよりますが、友人を誘って言語別サーバーで一緒にプレイしたいと考えている既存プレイヤーは
開始と同時に一緒にプレイしたいと思うでしょうし、その辺りの事を考慮して頂ければ幸いです。
Does this mean that the current serves will all turn into global servers?
If that were the case, then doesn't this mean that because all language-specific servers will be new servers (where there will be a waiting period before people can transfer over), we'll have to wait for a certain period before we can transfer over to these new language-specific servers?
This all really depends on exactly how long the waiting period is going to be, but because I would like to invite a friend over to play and transfer myself to said friend's language-specific server, I would like this issue addressed.

はい、この点は考慮していますので、そういった「新設=言語別」のような、
判で押したような仕様にはしませんので、ご安心ください。
Yes, we are aware that instances like this might come up so in order to accommodate, not all language-specific servers will necessarily be new servers (where there will be a waiting period before people can transfer over), so please don't worry.

You had to kind of read the thread where the question and answer was posted to fully understand what they were saying. Hope this helps.

So are you saying that they're going to simply label the servers as favoring one language or another?

Sorry, I guess my translation was still unclear. I'm not sure where exactly it was mentioned first, but I believe the devs said that when they switch over to the new FFXIV and implement new servers, they will create new transferable servers (most likely the language-specific ones) and new, non-transferable servers (in which players will be unable to transfer into until a undisclosed amount of time). They are doing this so players have the opportunity to start in a completely fresh server that won't plagued by high-level people or people with massive amounts of gil.

Please no language specific servers.

Totally agree, this is a hugely regressive step for SE to take, FF was one of the few truly global games, seems SE are now creating regional ghettos just like Blizzard, Turbine, Trion, etc. etc. etc.

Oh do be quiet, why can't some of you people let others have what they want.

Stop forcing this "we must all play together" bullshit on us.

There are also world servers still being offered. So, if they want to play with JP, go there. I don't know what the big deal is either.

I'd love to see how many of them show up too. Most likely very little. They're commonly xenophobic.
