    Because friends. Lots of friends. I have friends on EU too. I don't want to create an alt, max it up, gear it up, etc. I just don't have real life time for that type of thing, or money to spend on those skips. I like to focus on my main character.
    This is wholesome. For people that want DC travel for similar reasons as yourself, I totally get it.

    Just remember. We need to affirm over and over again that NA/EU are dirty, uncivilized barbarians that the poor pristine Japanese should never have to interact with. Respect that cultural difference.

    Oh you don't want Japanese players in YOUR datacenter? Racist!

    Well I mean let's be honest, this is 100% true, if you look at that recent job census that was posted on reddit, NA/EU overwhelmingly have Warriors as the most popular tank.
    Even us Aussies on Materia can't resist letting loose our inner beasts.

    "cross DC is bad because the japanese will have a melty"
    "cross DC is good because it would make NA seethe and mald"

    can you guys ever agree on something?
    is protecting the japanese more important than making north americans seethe?

    As long as the Market Board disabled for other region, I don't mind it. I don't like when the MB price destroyed by NA's free gils

    Honestly, I'm going to say that there's more of a legitimate case for opening fewer doors, and even that SE may have opened too many doors when it comes to cross-server activities in FFXIV.

    A big and understated problem, in particular, is that this steadily reduces the number of community atmospheres that a player is able to choose from.

    Take NA, for instance. There used to be 24 different worlds with 24 vastly different community vibes. For instance, if you wanted the hardcore raid server, you went to Gilgamesh. If you wanted RP, you went to Balmung. If you wanted a server with a laid back culture with not much of a server hive mind and was good with hunts, you might want to go to Siren, and so on.

    Then came cross-world PF and World Visit, and between the two, we've practically telescoped down from 24 communities to choose from to just 3, as the culture on shared matters such as raids and hunts has been more or less forcibly unified (hunts have of course always been an issue, but raiding is as well as even PF leads have little say in terms of matters such as strategies - even if you think a different strat is better you're almost forced to use your datacenter's most popular one, as if PF is meant to be a sort of meta-guild hivemind rather than a collection of independent groups). Moreover, it's basically always the biggest players on each DC that get their way, causing the smaller worlds' cultures to be almost entirely swallowed. Aether almost might as well be Gilgamesh Zero through Seven now, for instance.

    I haven't been back long enough to tell, and I haven't caught up to endgame yet in Endwalker, but given the amount of visitor mixing between NA datacenters that I've already noticed, I'm already apprehensive that there isn't even a choice of three NA community mindsets anymore: we likely have, or are on our way to, a single "one best way" that all of NA is expected to adopt (and that most likely, it's all of NA effectively becoming Aether, due to the pull exerted by Gilgamesh top raiders on Discord).

    Cross-region would likely result in a single world hivemind, that everyone's expected to follow or risk social (or maybe even in-game because of the new reporting guidelines these days) sanctioning.

    And once again, it would probably be set by top Gilgamesh raiders through their Discord influence, with little opportunity for dissenting opinions or the more mellow parts of the community to count.

    JP is right to fear this. Keep travel within regions. If you want to play in multiple regions make the time investment and maintain alts.
