Any plans to launch a Brazilian server?

I think they need to optimize their current servers before establishing new ones, as I live in California and get latency like that all the time. Not my ISP's fault either, as I can download the whole game in an hour and a half.

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.

I would love for them to open servers, ni zones, like South America, and Europe.

But the sadly... there isnt even servers for United States... all we got are some servers in Montreal... so the only playerbase who is able to enjoy the game, are people who lives in Canada, or in the north part of United States....

One would expect that because of the success of Square Enix, and FFXIV.. they would invest more in infrastructure...

I guess its actually frustrating... because they release all this "hard content" that requires alot of dodging... and some people are unable to enjoy it, because of horrible infrastructure.

And the worst case.. is that everytime someone talks about it, they get two types of answers

a) a white knight, defending SE. Which makes no sense, because if people dont complain, how are they going to get allt he feedback required to improve the server.
b) Yoshi saying that they cant do anything, because players are not zooming out....

It takes three days minimum to drive from Montreal to Vancouver. It takes one day to drive from Montreal to Miami. So you're excluding the entire eastern seaboard, and ignoring the fact that there's people in Iceland who are closer to Montreal than some Canadians. I live in Winnipeg and my latency sucks in game.

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.

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.
