    Perhaps in order to counteract the lag issues, Yoshi-P is thinking about giving the servers physical locations in NA and the EU as well as JP.

    It would certainly help EU and NA players to know which servers are closest to them when choosing.

    It would be nice to have servers that we located outside Japan, other games have them. Maybe its a cost thing or maybe there is some other reason they dont do it but it something they should consider more strongly. As for the diversified servers idc which way they go, I frankly have no issues with ppl from other areas. Less server lag would be nice but you become accustomed to the extra challance it can bring.

    The only good thing is that there would be less need of asking ppl to use auto-trans and frankly it would be easier to get groups. Yrs of xi taught me well that alot of jp players tend to not want to play with non-jp players and when you have a high jp population it makes it tough at times, esp when you are just starting out. We havent really had this issue yet in xiv but I attribute that to the low population, take what you can get, sort of thing. No disrespect of course it was just an issue in xi for alot of eng speaking players. I couldnt imagine how bad it would be for french or german speakers if they had very little english skills.

    THIS. It doesn't need to be segregated by language but by ping. It somewhat kills two birds with one stone and then quell the inevitable "The Japanese got my pop cause their latency is less than mine!!".
