JP Only

It seems like discrimination but its really not, most of the JP players see us as immature, and you could say thats stereotyping, but they probably didn't want you in there party because you don't speak the same language. I've been in parties in both XI and XIV with JPs, I've also done some end game content with them, many do know some english, but its not good to rely on that. The auto translate works fine but is lacking some things I'd like it to have. You can party with JPs just fine but it does add an extra layer of stress if you can't communicate fast, so I don't blame them for not wanting an added layer of stress is something as trivial as leveling. I speak english and french, and I still find it easier to party with the JPs than the Québécois and the French. I like having mixed servers, I'm not a xenophobic like many of the FF population including the JP who are notorious for being xenophobic. If you don't know what xenophobia is look it up, we play with 2 of the most xenophobic countries out there, France and Japan. Its cultural, and it barely bothers you, you were partying at anti-peak english speaking hours if you could only get a jp party anyway, its also circumstantial, get over it.

for every 9 jps that won't invite you to there party there's 1 jp that going to need a party later on and will hope to get that spot in the english party, so you extend them the invitation, relationships between races of people are fixed overnight, this is an mmo, people play mmos, people are just extensions of their culture. So you will come across cultural difference and maybe barriers while playing a game with multiple cultures, that's life. If politics were up to people who wanted separate servers and couldn't stand jp only, we'd never talk to each other on a international level, we'd never have bilateral or multilateral agreements, or we'd all be one big country of suck with no difference in culture between anybody. Its a game though not politics, way less important, but small scale if you can't stand being excluded from something due to language while playing a video game that relies on communication you should reevaluate your tolerance, its really not a big issue.
