Playing in thailand?

[lukecoolhair]

I'm trying to get my friend in this game. He is living in thailand (originally from canada)and wants to be able to play on NA servers? Is that possible? Should he get the american version?

[jabbywocks]

I'm not sure which version he should get (I think that only effects payments). But I do know that you can play on any server regardless. I've played on EU and JP servers and I'm from the US with US version.

Yeah, i'm from Poland and bought game here. I can play on all servers - JP, NA and EU.

thanks for the info.

Apparently all the servers are hosted in NA anyway, so shouldn't matter which version he buys.

We have someone in our FC playing from Thailand on the NA datacenter. I think his only complaint is latency since technically it should be better for him connecting to the JP datacenter.

My friend was trying to download a digital version of the game but the square enix website wont let him nor amazon or gamestop. He's having a hard time finding a hard copy where he lives and has to travel 500km to bangkok to get it.

Why don't you buy a hard copy and ship it to him?

[lukecoolhair]

thought about it but he's going there on the 9th anway.

The city might be closed by then! Rough times there right now, that's for sure.
