It's really not that big of a deal, as you see FR/EN/DU onry shouts as well. Some people would rather not deal with the language barrier. Though in my 6 years of XI, and time on XIV, it has almost never been an issue. I have never been kicked from an otherwise full JP pt, although I have left a few myself (in my experience alot of JP grind pt's move at a much slower pace, they usually seem to have a more casual approach to it). Occasionally I may get ignored by someone recruiting for a JP pt, but I take no offense to that since they made it clear in the shout already. Since I love to play in the early mornings to get somethings done before the rest of my LS logs on, JP pt's have been the way to go since back in XI for me. I am completely against regional servers as it kills server population at different times throughout the day. IF SE fully commits to providing some regional servers I know I'd opt to stay on an international server, as they are working just fine for me.
