Any plans to launch a Brazilian server?

You must consider as well that for some, the self-considered "official" communities are sometimes a thing to run away from, instead of heading to. And now, link that to the sad stigma Brazilian players managed to bring to themselves over the course of the years.

I have to admit, i have had a bad expeirence in general with brazillian players in League of Legends, I'd encounter them on the north america servers even though they DO have brazil servers, and they'd generally not play as well and spam the chat with things like "huehuehuehuehuehue!" and speaking in brazillian portugese (which is different from ordinary portugese) and not cooperating with the team.

Now, i'm not saying everyone is like that, though it is something that happened more often than I feel like it should have. So you're right that there is a stigma, which is perhaps unfair.

ANYWAY... I do feel for them in this game since they're pretty much as far as you can be from either data center, but I just don't see it happening, like others said, if and until EU servers are actually in the EU.

Fame Brazilian ever to worst. Good part of the online population here likes offend own image and of his country. Is difficult to live in a country that defames his image and isolate himself from others because of it (sorry by my bad english).

Sometimes I legitimately feel bad about the situation BR players are put into. Home and private players tend to be upstanding members of the community, while street urchins who skip school to play at a pc cafe tend to be the scum of the earth player that give BRs their bad name (not that all cafe players are like this). Situation is similar in the Phils, had a great crew of friends from Phils on another MMOs private server, and one thing they had in common was how much they disliked the kiddies playing from cafes who had so called "crab" mentalities giving their countrymen a bad rap.

I'm new to the game and I don't know about FFXIV specifically, but the brazilian player base in MMOs is quite large. I don't think a brazilian data center should be created, but a south american one would be a big help and I believe the player base is large enough to justify it. I don't mind playing with people from other countries (in fact, I like it a lot), but the high latency would make me consider a lot moving to a local server.

Truth is there are no words even about an EU server, so I we shouldn't expect a SA server anytime soon ):

I seriously doubt they'll ever put a server in Brazil or anywhere in South America considering they don't even support the Portuguese or Spanish languages with their games.

Regardless all the "forget about this" comments. I hope they create one!

A PGL cross-classing raise there I see. That's some mighty powerful resurrection skills you got there.

Your answer is a forever NO.

FFXIV is only licensed for NA/EU/JP. if you're out from NA/EU/JP countries your account can be banned or blocked because SE doesn't even support your zone. I live in South America and i understand the risk plus all the stores here stopped selling the game for obvious reasons ; "In order to play you need a NA account".

The only reason why non-North American players can play is because SE doesn't care about it. In South America the gaming-online market it's only about LOL/Dota/CSGO and a bunch of f2p SA licensed trash games that nobody gives a shit because no one wants to play with toxic players like Latin American's (Perú/Brazil etc)

Wow. The forums: A magical place.

You get the game is sold outside of those regions right? Australia for example. Do you actually think they'd sell it and then ban an account because it's not 'supported' there? That's an easy lawsuit waiting to happen.
