JP Only

[SAMINUS]

Ya maybe just a bad day. But this is one hell of a dif from the norm then if the norm is never JP only.

Sometimes people don't want to deal with the inconvenience of working through autotranslation/a second language during their leisure time.

I have been waiting most of the evening for someone to shout for an XP grinding party (dont ask why i didn't just make one myself), but i saw 6 party shouts, all JP only. What gives? What is with the massive discrimination?

lol all your gonna be told is JP only is a figment of your imagination and it doesnt exist.

people will post things like "i never have a problem playing with JP people in this game or in FFXI"
it doesnt matter how solid your proof is, it just doesnt exist according to the masses.

There are a lot of Japanese players, who are absolutely amazing. Language barrier is why a lot of them group together. Also their culture is vastly different than ours, we come off differently to them than we may realize.

I'll give you a bunch of reason too :
afk
brb
afk food
afk bio
forgot a step in my quest brt
I just hit level XX, I go back to Ulda to get my new weapon
afk someone's at the door
etc
etc
etc

The day people will respect their PTs, they will get a bit more respect (perhaps) from other players.
To explain a bit further, when i have only 3hours to play, i hate it when people go afk for a thousand reason... I am not from Japan, but i guess this is a reason why they dont want Western players when they can.

Now translate them to Japanese, oh yeah add I'm too sleepy JP's love to use that five minutes into a party. English ONLY please

Haven't gotten a single JP ONRY in XIV since I started on open beta, BUT I see a lot of exp/raid shouts in japanese that don't use autotranslate at all which is pretty much an implicit JP ONRY...

I am pro-regional-servers as long as people from other regions can still pick them if for some reason they want to.

Higher player density that speaks your language AND less latency. {Yes, please}.

[Zenaku]

{I can understand a little. Japanese} ok now too http://translate.google.com/ PT誘ってください.

Now when i'm in the party i try and translate the most i can if they say something funny i'll w. Anyways work for me most Japanese are going to let you join if you try and speak and try to talk to them in Japanese.

I think the fact that Yoshi P is implementing regional servers is a good sign that its pretty solidly wanted on the JP side and many on the western wouldnt mind having.
