That is correct I am a day one alpha player, servers were located in japan.

So by all means, while you have my sympathy for issues like leaving friends behind, losing your house and/or gil....language barrier is not one of those problems.
Friends/house/gil is the main reason why i don't wanna switch. I got to know a hand full of ppl that i care for a lot. Enough to travel all the way to NY and GA last year

It is not the language "barrier" that i fear... It is simply... FF has always been english for me. For more than 13 years including FFXI. I played with japanese ppl in XI and i really hated to see my name, not knowing what they were talking about. So i started to learn japanese and i don't wanna go through languages again. I am german but i prefer the english language. In games, on TV, everywhere (I even spoke english after i woke up from surgery ).
