JP Only

[Atoli]

Aaaah, this topic again.

I rarely see JP only parties, and only once I was really not allowed to join when I was using Auto-translate and reading what they said in google translate (I'm not using that to translate from English to Japanese though, because I know just how horrible it must be for the Japanese players to read that).
This only applies for grind parties though, because I totally understand why nobody would want to do Ifrit with somebody who wouldn't understand a word

And about the "japanese don't like when you go afk all the time or say brb for all kinds of stuff"-answer:
That's totally not true.
I've played with some extremely nice Japanese players who were all okay with me being stupid and getting arrows from Ul'dah instead of the next camp, or with me DC'ing about every 10 minutes.
Actually, I met way more NA or EU parties who kicked me just because I had DC once.
Like "Uh, it's too much of an effort to reinvite you.."

Btw, just so you know, people don't act that way just because they are non-japanese.
Impolite players act that way, and please don't equate "non-japanese" with "impolite" >.>

I have never in FFXIV seen the words JP only or JP onry, but most JP shouts I see are entirely Japanese, I might try to jump in one sometime see what happens, but I do agree that it has alot to do with the language barrier, for example I was in an ifrit fiight with 2 Japanese people, we had somone in the party that had not tanked it before so the Japanese people were telling them tanking positions (how JP do it) now the tank did know japanese, but so we all knew what we were doing they had to communicate in english and it was quite confusing because they didnt speak much english.

Personnaly I respected them for communicating in english when they didnt know much, but I think some of the confusion over communication could have been one reason why we failed and didnt fully understand how we were doing it, language barrier can be a rough thing to get over.

I've seen it often, but i do not mind it, because i respect their choice and I honestly would prefer EN/EU only. It just makes things easier.

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?

Did they specifically say Japanese only, or were the shouts simply in Japanese?

Threads like this make me want to punch a baby in the face... hard.

It's not discrimination, it's called the language barrier.

then put the "JP ONRY" in a server with only JP and put all The same people that speak THE SAME language on another server then we will nver have a "Language barrier"
