I still strongly think that EU/Materia/NA should be linked, but can it be done as a three way join? There are voices on the Japanese side that are strongly against their login queues being made longer.
I don't think JP would need to fear cross region travel because of the language differences. Given a choice, few players are going to want to play in a region where most players aren't speaking their language. The traffic would be much heavier between NA/EU/OCE. If anything, it might ease some of their problem with JP raiders coming to NA to be part of the NA raiding scene since they're more like to at least understand English even if they're not directly able to converse in it.

I giggle at their complaints about log in queues considering their largest population world is still smaller than the smallest NA world - and that largest population world is much bigger than the majority of JP worlds.
