Not really.

Browsing some quick topics there isn't much of a difference between what's being talked about, and the tones.

Take these two topics on jumping in the General forum:

Japanese:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...81%84%E3%81%A6

English
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...highlight=jump

The OP's for both topics state their case.

The Japanese one suggests the cost of adding jumping to current game mechanics might be too costly in development, so why not add jumping to chocobos instead.

The english one suggests jumping around is a little obnoxious, but the merits for having jumping in certain locations is ok, thus why not do a FFXIII style jump mechanism where you go to a specific spot to trigger a "jump".

A smattering of responses for both:

Japanese (translated):

"Don't want jumping. I don't want to jump around meaninglessly like an idiot in WoW where you hit [space][space][space]."

"I don't want a "jump" feature.
I would however like a [Climb] function."

"Don't need jumping: agree.
More over, why are we suddenly even talking about jumping??
There's way more things that need to be dealt with...
Like adding a map that actually makes you want to jump"

English:
"Jumping is retarded, they shouldn't let Galkas jump...EVER, unless we want the raptors to go extinct."

"YES we DO NOT want jump in FFXIV!
Please Yoshi-P DON'T DO IT!"

"My forehead is bright red from all the face palms I have been doing from reading all these posts. You guys are freaking out over such a harmless feature. Why don't you worry about the more serious problems with this broken game instead of going nuts about something as harmless as jumping."

Japanese is a more "gentile" language than English is, so it's a lot easier to spot someone trying to be harsh. But overall, meh, there are people being douchey on both sides, but there are a lot of good discussions going on too.
