    Then you need to take some English speaking lessons yourself because I stated,

    "All we wish to do with this is help our fellow players. I know some of you might be thinking, "Why don't you just go to an English server"? To answer that...we don't want to to be quite frank XD...that, and, I'm fascinated by the Japanese, and want to be able to communicate with them. "
    Also, I'd hardly deduct your "idea" as "brilliant"

    replying the original sarcasm:

    I came from Sargatanas. Great english community. Small hitch though: 300+ ms ping. Have fun dodging Titan with per-emptive.

    3 months later, moved to Masamune. Oh wow! No pre-emptive! Dodging means literally dodging! lol
    There's one catch tho: JP ONRY! JP ONRY! JP ONRY! JP ONRY! JP ONRY! lmao

    Any more brilliant ideas, genius? Perhaps asking me to move country? Maybe you would donate some cash for me doing it along with the paperworks and stuff?

    Anyways, for OP, even though I doubt I could follow this, I support your idea! ^^

    Good luck with the class. I was tempted to teach myself Japanese back in XI, still would try to if I had more use for it in this game.

    I've been learning the language myself because I'll be moving there in a few years. I really really enjoy the language and the players.

    Similar to English groups having nice guys and a**holes, the same applies to Japanese groups.

    Like joining Levi EX parties:

    Good English groups: "You'll be OT, okay?"
    Bad English groups: "Link your ilvl110 weapon now" -> kicked as you won't be bothering with this group if you had that weapon

    Good Japanese groups: "Can you ST?" (probably kicked as you don't know what is ST)
    Bad Japanese groups: Some Japanese chat -> kicked as you had no idea what is going on

    You will need enough Japanese to know what is going on/ team's strategy in second coil, I'm afraid. Though really nice groups will link you a video. Would probably suck a lot (for them) if they said burn boss, and you went ahead and whacked T6 jellies while their melee just LB2'ed the boss.

    Not all Japanese players are as narrow-minded as you seem to think they are. I've been with a lot of JP-speaking groups that have been very pleasant to play with. You need to broaden your horizons, and start giving people more credit. The "It's not going to work, so don't even bother" attitude is never going to solve anything.

    I've played FFXI from PS2 beta in 2002 until 2010, mainly with Japanese players because the game was not localized back then.
    It's not as you think. But have fun.

    If you were on a NA server you wouldn't see a single JP only group or even have the problem you are having.

    Good luck with your "class." I know from experience(four years of high school classes) that Japanese can be a hard language to learn. Even knowing it some and being interest in Japanese culture, I wouldn't try to intrude on Japanese players with my little knowledge of it, same goes from German players, as I'm taking German classes now. At least if people are being jerks in English, I can be a jerk right back at them and understand it. Maybe one day I'll be good enough to properly communicate in other languages in MMOs, but until then, I'm playing on English-speaking servers.

    I'm not saying don't play on a Japanese server, I'm just saying I wouldn't do it, despite having prior knowledge of the language. Whatever floats your boat if you can properly deal with the consequences you've set for yourself.
