JP Only

[DNO]

And what about those of us who just want to play in a server with a much higher density of people who talk english?

I am sure there are people who feel that way on the japanese side too.

I'd like to see this matter sorted pragmatically, not in an idealistic/romantic way. Gameplay should always be king and in a MMO gameplay is tied to communication.

If you really are dying to have contact with other cultures there are better ways.

Very well said and i may also add that if a group of players wil not party with you its very bad in an MMO.

maybe if the jpn threads get ahold of this theyll see how some people feel. If they knew that some of you really feel left out the way you seem to maybe they'd have a change of heart. or maybe theyll think were all aholes,lol.

You went out of your way to correct mistakes just to make you feel better.

Thank you Isaac for the corrections. It makes me feel better too!

Everyone has a right to their own point of view. Sadly people posting their views here has brought on some hate bashing. I am closing this thread to stop that. My goal of the thread was to gain some insight regarding the jp only shouts and I feel I have gained that. I now see it as mainly a language barrier that people do not wisfj to deal with. Thank you everyone for posting your thoughts on the matter. actually I dunno how to close the thread lol. Can't find the setting. Using my cellphone to type these out.

I'm glad that you were able to sort through the murk and find relevant responses to your observation. Simple as it sounds, it may just be a language barrier problem.

Honestly, I'm all for segregated servers. Even if everyone I speak to won't necessarily want to play with me for various reasons, at the very least not being able to properly communicate with me in my native language won't be one one of them.
It would certainly be nice to eliminate a big reason right from the start.

And yes, JP ONLY pisses me off... I'll be very glad if this crap never happens again. Way back when in FFXI it irked me to the point that while I was leveling BRD and RDM I was very "NA/JP ONRY". I started parties and I would do the exact same things they did to us. Either deny them the party invite if they weren't on a job I needed and if they were, their spot was only guaranteed until an English speaking replacement showed up. Now, am I proud that I did this? Yeah... I actually am though I know I shouldn't be. But as the saying goes, do onto others... and hey, I had nothing to lose because it was already being done to me.

Emphasis added. 50% of the server population sounds highly exaggerated to me.

yes that would be true of course I would figure u got the point.
Also good job on taking out the rest of the text to prove a moot point. The real point is it happens.

Excuse you. I quoted the entire block of text. The real point is yes it happens, but more often than not, it doesn't mean no English speakers allowed.
