Can you change server/world? Oceanic server?

Welcome!

From what I understand, the two servers most Australians/Oceanic players have gone for is Masamune (Legacy) and Tonberry (ARR) - both servers are part of the Japanese server group, due to Australia being physically closer to the JP data centre than the NA/EU one.

So any JP server would be better for latency, but language can still be an issue, but the Auto-translate function does go a long way at helping overcome communication difficulties. Incidentally I'm Australian too (I live on the west coast though in Perth), and I play on a JP Legacy server (Ridill, which my server in 1.0 as well ), and my FC and LS still have quite a few English speakers in our ranks. My local time is around the also around the same time zone for Japan (my local time is one hour behind Japanese time), so that also helps a lot with finding people to do stuff, although European and American players who are on the server may not be active at the same time naturally, due to this time zone discrepancy.

But it's still worth looking into if you're having troubles finding people to play around your local time.
