It is not the language "barrier" that i fear... It is simply... FF has always been english for me. For more than 13 years including FFXI. I played with japanese ppl in XI and i really hated to see my name, not knowing what they were talking about. So i started to learn japanese and i don't wanna go through languages again. I am german but i prefer the english language. In games, on TV, everywhere (I even spoke english after i woke up from surgery ).

i am german too, and I avoid 99% of other germans like the plague because I hate how some of them dont speak english...so whenever I would bring other people who dont speak german, they'd be left out.
And besides, frankly speaking, I have only ever had bad experience with the german player community, so i dont miss it at all. But again, as I said...there are plenty of servers where there'd be zero issues language-wise.
Most french ppl are on moogle, and most germans on shiva. But yeah, besides that, I absolutely understand why you wouldnt wanna leave your server behind.
