Yes, I would like this.

All regions have already been meeting on Materia, especially for hunts. I mean literally there are people from EU, JP and NA all in one party and they aren't having a particular problem with eachother. I was also going there for some time to do roulettes to help them out initially and that also wasn't an issue.

And again, we were all meeting on the Cloud DC as well and the culture mix wasn't an issue; we just simply adapted to work with eachother. We are not used to using auto-translate in the NA region but we learned to use it so we could communicate things to the JP players there and we fought all sorts of things together. Everyone there tried to show respect, even people who don't normally.

I'd also have to make the argument that if people want to play in the JP region, they already make an alt to do so. If EU players want to play in the NA region, they already do that on an alt or they transfer. If NA players want to play in the EU region, they already do that on an alt or they transfer. Beside just meeting people I know transferred across regions multiple times or have alts, I also know because I am in discord servers and see some players switching around.

I think it's unlikely due to latency, as you said. In fact, the motivation would likely be to go to a good-ping DC for raiding and then go somewhere else for other things (friends, roleplaying, etc).

But I think the "switch DC to raid" issue needs to be addressed more generally. The public "High-End" category should be blocked off when traveling to restrict pugging to home DCs, but the private "High-End" category left open so statics can still travel.
