Apparently the Japanese servers have zero issues

[Evergrey]

Japanese players always takes priority over North America ones dude, just they way of the world with SE they did the same thing with FF11

And yet again EU is forgotten.
We have problems too you know.

inb4 petition to make Gilga and Bal their own data center

They really should.

[Averax]

Half tempted to do this. If nothing's done by monday, i'll do it.

I'd do it tomorrow, but i have to work all day tomorrow.

[MeoTwister5]

I am actually willing to do this at this point...

[Syfurion]

Sharing the same world group with Gilgamesh and Balmung was a mistake

I feel like they just... 'accidentally' shut down those servers for oh, I dunno, 30 minutes, everyone else on Aether could get past Raubahn EX.

To be fair, most game companies take priority over their homeland. I doubt companies like Valve or Blizzard would prioritize Japan over the United States.

is there any confirmation that it works in japan?

[seida]

As someone on a Japanese server, this is NOT TRUE. Tonberry was having the same horrible issues with Raubahn. I think it's a bit better now, but that's more to do with our data center having less people than because they're ~prioritising Japanese players~. It's entirely down to how crowded your data center is.

I might actually be willing to do this even though it shouldn't be necessary. Is there maybe someone who's personally done it who can confirm? And are there any "new" JP servers that would qualify for a free transfer currently?

"Yeah, let's screw over a large amount of players just so another large group of players can play the game more than they can."

Brilliant thinking.
