English In Bahamut

[Serilda]

Hey, you're on my Datacenter (though a completely different server)! Hi!

It's a very, very Japanese server group since we don't have either of the big Oceanic English-speaking servers in our Duty Finder, so unless you can find an English-speaking community to join up with I'm afraid I would recommend following Niwashi's advice. To be honest, I often go weeks without seeing a single other English-speaker in a group. It's fine when you're soloing through the main quest but I think you will find it frustrating later on if you don't speak the language, especially when fights get more technical later on, and your groups will find it frustrating too. Furthermore, the time zone thing Sagittarian mentioned is definitely going to be an issue. Queueing for non-Japanese-speakers out of peak hours is hard work (and defining peak hours for non-Japanese players is a real mess on Japanese servers - all activity is concentrated during Japanese evening and the servers are pretty much dead outside of that time). Japanese players don't like it when non-Japanese-speakers select 'Japanese' as their language as it makes coordination impossible, but at the same time it will be exceptionally hard to do any group content if you don't. Perhaps it's a good excuse to learn some simple Japanese?

If you don't want to pay for a transfer, you might be surprised by how swiftly you can catch back up with your first character if you skip through the scenes you've done before - it takes far longer the first time around! And you can try starting in a different city to see some different cutscenes!

If you decide to stay on Bahamut, please try using the new cross-world party finder and mention you don't speak Japanese in the description when you're looking for a group. It will be appreciated if you're honest about it, and some players will respect that and want to help you out. If I see you in there perhaps I'll swing by and help
