Recently coming from many years playing WoW I can say Tonberry has a great population of oceanic players although FFXIV seems to isolate us more with no general chat channel in the major cities like WoW had. I am from Perth myself and have been really pleased with the high level of FC's that operate on the +8 gmt timezone which I found lacked in WoW resulting in many transfers.

The FC I am part of <Kupo> has a mix of Australians, Asians and americans but mostly aussies from my conversations on teamspeak. Our recruitment thread should be somewhere on the first page of these forums. Send the GM a tell and i'm sure you will get an invite if you are interested.
