Australian Servers - Heavensward

Yes it's my choice to play on a NA server but 200-300 ping is not a valid connection speed to attempt some parts of the game.

There you have it.
You made a choice to play in a server that has worse latency.
You can have a fully furnished house in Tonberry as well if that's what's stopping you from moving, but you won't have better latency if you don't move.

Try making an alt in Tonberry to check things out first if you're worried there isn't enough english speaking community there.
Even if SE makes an official OCE server I have doubts I'll move there either, the DF here kicks ass xD

And what of those who can't get on tonberry because it's closed seemingly almost 24/7

I even tried around maintenance and no dice

Let me just put it to you this way.

It took Blizzard 10 YEARS to put in Australian servers.

10. Freaking. YEARS.

I don't think SE is gonna do it.

As a side note, I get better latency to WoW's AU servers than I do to SE's NA servers.

And I'm in NA(California).

Tonberry has the most ENG.

Masamune has a small amount of ENG, but much more than other JP servers.

I've heard Aegis has a good amount as well.

There are a good amount of English/NA players hidden within the JP servers, aside from the obvious ones already mentioned. I moved my main to Atomos for the FC I'm in right now, though they are currently closed due to an influx of people suddenly joining. I heard Ton is having issues being full more often now, thus the influx; although if enough people actually band together, they could easily start another FC on this or another server.

My initial reasoning for moving was like as 'hagare' mentioned, the DF was loads better than NA DF awhile back, although over time they seem to have evened out a little. It's actually made me react better in dungeons anyways since I have less time to dodge than I do on my NA alt.

I live in Japan and due to my schedule change am considering a move. I would prefer an english speaking group of people to play with. would Tonberry be my best bet?

depends on your schedule really.
Tonberry is almost always full though.
Good luck trying to get in.

though if you speak japanese, you can always go to other japan servers that has moderate to full pop.

ooss trail ya mayt

Australia doesn't speak Japanese.

Australia should not have to play on JP servers to have a better play experience.
