    What exactly is the problem with chatting in shout besides JP not doing it? It's not like this isn't acceptable on NA servers. It's how we communicate when we're sitting around cities crafting, waiting for something to spawn, just vibing, etc.

    a big difference when the japanese shout in their hubs/cities is that they start it off usually with シャウト失礼します、 or "excuse me for shouting," and it's usually to announce an event or recruit for something (fc/pf/etc.)


    another big difference is that they don't spam that same message, usually once every two hours or something, they don't use it for conversing with another person and if they ever do it's very rare

    yeah but it's really hard to not apologize in japanese and you can't even say thank you without borrowing サンキュ because otherwise you're not actually thanking them you're apologizing for taking up their time/effort OR you're using the wrong thank you for the wrong situation/person and auaugh

    sorry, had a flashback there.

    The "vibing" sadly is just most of the times on the same level as the good old world of warcraft chat game where you take the name of a skill and the a word. It's a good example of how different japanese and western culture is. But the game is developed by japanese devs even if they take some inspiration and advice from western audiences their culture is still foreign to them and that way there will be always such misused things.

    Like the wintrading that was plaguing feast, something that wasn't a thing on JP. Like the mentor system that is more a meme. The chat being a complete mess and spamming nonsense through the aether is just another example of how western culture is more a meme than a functional society. Which is, don't get me wrong, not bad at all but people always act so surprised when systems get misused and turned into the worst possible outcome, which is funny cause it happens everywhere all the time so people should be used to it by now.

    Who says it's misused? Shout is how we converse on NA servers. Doesn't make it any more or less right than any other differences between regions. It's how we do things. We don't have a problem with it. Why aren't we allowed to do things our own way like other regions can?
