Seperation of servers based on language?

I'm glad everyone here wants global but go ask the Japanese what they want. My understanding is that a lot of them don't want to play with anyone but Japanese speakers.

By years of playing with JP players i can saay that only a minority of them would rather playing strictly with JP-speaking players...just like EN, FR and GE-speaking players would too. I think it's all a matter of respect...like using the auto-translate if you don't speak the party language and, if you do, speak in the language the party does.

I very often saw, as example, NA players cursing JP ones because they were speaking JP in PT, as if no JP speak english...just ike i've seen the oposite too...but, again, this is the minority. IMO adding language-specificservers goes against all the globalization path most MMOs are following...IMO it's just the first step for some regional segregation...soon enough you will start having certain languages' servers receiving content before others and soon enough you will have a development scalling regarding servers...just like we see in most region-beased MMOs...because the development is done in a certain language so, obviously, the content for that language will be ready before all others.

I would not want different servers. I like playing with JP players. gives me a chance to use my Japanese speaking skills..what little I have.

How will i improve my languages if we'r seperate -_-'

I welcome "language-recommended" servers and server transfers are a must. Using the translate tool should be the exception, not the rule.

I don't mind if the language specific servers are optional, but hopefully not a lot of other players from other countries jump ship. Mrfox is definitely right! I'm learning French and Japanese at the moment, so I won't be able to practice at all if they all go to other servers!

the fact is that people .. particulary in europe are complaining about the respond time it takes in the game.. for example.. when people are fighting ifrit they cant get to evade it's attack .. in their screen they're far away but into other people screen they are right in the attack zone... so they get damage. having region/language based server would fix that.. and that in fact seems to be the only way. even us gets a delay.. i notice it everyday .. its even worst over my friend. .... i do like it international ... but if i can get rid of that delay then ill go with region/language based server.

Language specifc server and latency has nothing to do one with the other. All server would stay in Japan regardless of language.

duh yeah i should have specified that .. i meant physcally moving server to the different regions of the world but thanks for correcting me Xd

there is one good thing i have heard that may come from this. we have been told we can't have in game team speak because of language conflicts, if one language servers would change this, some ppl might support the idea

personally i like us all on the same server. but i don't like the lag or being d/c'ed all the time, so i'll wait and see what the new server is like before i judge
