JP Only

[Soukyuu]

First, I'd like to say that i never had a "JP only" thrown at me. Maybe because I can speak a little Japanese and use a kanji parser to help me if i can't read something. All the people who reference that phrase start bringing examples from FFXI halfway through the thread. You are forgetting that FFXI's situation was different from FFXIV. Here, we started together, which means the JP players already knew they wouldn't be among themselves in this game, which also means that most "JP only" people probably didn't even start playing.

The auto-translator is sometimes doesn't fully allow to convey what you are trying to say. That's why many people just don't use it, and it's not only the Japanese players I'm talking about, I've seen enough English-speaking people not using it, too. I guess for some people it just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Also, those who don't want to learn Japanese shouldn't expect them to learn English. It's a language just like any other, the fact it happens to be a "world's language" doesn't matter, there are enough people who can't learn languages even if their life depended on it.

People really should stop seeing conspiracies behind every corner. But I guess some just can't.
