Tonberry English Speaking Community?

[tiperet]

I'm thinking of moving to Tonberry, too. I'm only around level 30 right now, and doing fine with the duty finder, but having access to lots of English-speaking FCs sounds like it'll benefit me later.

I was also thinking of moving to Tonberry. I need variety! I want to be able to talk to people from Japan and SEA.

Hi guys. I have recently moved to Singapore from the US and have started playing ffxiv last weekend on a NA server. While it is nice to play leveling up and whatnot, my 2 main concerns about playing on NA server are:
1) Ping issues during endgame (pvp and pve). Getting ~250-300ms, will want to check how it much it would go down playing JP server.
2) Not enough people to play end game with besides duty finder.

I do only speak english so that is a huge concern of mine moving to a JP server. What do you guys think? Is it worth the move?

Thanks.

OP here. As of writing this message I have finished my server transfer to Tonberry! Looking forward to meeting you all in game. I'll be scoping out a decent endgame FC over the next few days too

You'll be fine. Lots of English speakers here in Tonberry. Just look for an English-speaking FC (tons of them all around), and you should be gold.

Hi there, i have just completed my transfer request and arrived recently in Tonberry.
I was thinking of founding a new 'English-Speaking' FC to be started here, addressed to players who recently migrated from another server and also new-players that seek helps and English community here

I'm thinking of an FC with a strong friendship and kinship inside, no difference on any newbies, veterans, casual, or hardcore players
Targetted to help each other players with DF, Dungeon raids, etc.
And especially, the place to HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

For those who are interested please feel free to leave me a message here, or you can also add my character in-game :
"Reks Beoulve"

see you in Eorzea ^^

I'm thinking of transferring over to Tonberry. I like the idea of communicating with both English and Japanese speaking peoples. And while I am learning Japanese, it will be useful in the future, but I don't want to be left in a guild that has just lost half its pop in the past 5 days and end up stuck on a server where I feel completely alone. So I am hoping that I can join a FC if and when I cross over. Anyways, I have maybe a day to decide. Any thoughts?

It really depends on your requirement - whether you prefer a casual or hardcore guild. But look through the threads in this sub-forum, and you should be able to find lots of choices. There's SEA-based FC's (GMT +8), and Aussie-based FC's (GMT+11), so it's a matter of which one fits your time zone as well

[Amerilia]

Well, it depends. I am in North America, but on the west coast. I actually ping between 80-90ms for NA servers and 120-130ms for JP servers, so I honestly can consider the personal benefits of staying on an international server. As far as time zones are concerned, right now I am 5-6 hours from Aussie-based FC's, but come the shift back to Standard time (here in NA), it jumps to a 3-4 time difference, which is very very workable either way. I am a moreso casual player, but would like to hit endgame eventually. Eitherway, I made the switch, as there was literally was a mass exodus of English speakers off of Ultima (which was really sad cause we actually had about 10% of the population by my numbers...) And I do appreciate the advice about the timezones.

Here seems to be a list of a few NA players on Tonberry: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ca-on-Tonberry

You should try and contact them. As for FC, my current FC is Supreme: http://www.sgc-asia.com (shameless bump!)

We're based in GMT +8, although we have a few in GMT +11 like myself as well, and we're all about helping out each other, and having fun. As for end game, we have a few Coil parties going on, and we have nightly Titan HM sessions as well. We also have a Teamspeak server that we use for organizing raids. For end game, you shouldn't have a problem finding a party, as Bards are in high demand for Coil, so unless something drastic happens, there's always gonna be room available for Bards (not just within the FC, but in general).
