You guys are overreacting..

Yoshi was connected to a JP-Server when he played at Gamescom and he was surprised how smooth it was running with almost no lag. I will choose whatever Server are the people on i play with currently.. so most likely NA. As no i dont really have probs with i.e. Ifrit cracks, even if im EU.

But anyways.. i prefer playing with friends, so idc much if i have 0.1 secs lag compared to everyone else <.<.

But how many of the NA/EU people you play with do you expect to chose a server in Japan, when they have the option to not do that?

not many.. but thats prolly due the language-barrier.. if i would be fluent in japanese and would have many japanese friends, i would choose a jp-server.
