We really need several English server in Japan Data Center!

I was asking too much.
Since this has already all been like this for years.
In vain.

Woah hold your chocobos. I don't know what you are thinking but the world does not revolve around you.

The reason behind why there are JP Only is because they want to make sure that EVERYONE in the party can and able to speak/understand Japanese for mechanics explanation and coordination.

Can you imagine yourself in a party where the other 7 players speak french for example you know nothing of that language?

YOU ARE A LIABILITY!

I'm sorry but no Japanese i know of would want to carry you in the current raid window.

So it's either you pick up Japanese language make an effort to integrate or you find another "Eng" server in the JP DC.

Sigh

Maybe if people like you bothered to ask what other servers SEA / OCE players can join in the Japanese Realm aside from Tonberry you wouldn't sound as much of a fool compared to what you're doing right now.

Typhon and Kujata are you next best bet since these two servers were made Preferred worlds when Stormblood was released. You can try your luck there, especially the latter.

Otherwise, go to the current Preferred servers and search from there.

hmmmm how would you feel if you had a Japanese friend that has problems communicating in a US server? I'm sure not many people would want to carry them do to the language barrier. If your comfortable with your Japanese just create an alternate or world transfer. As it has been mentioned SE wants to make sure everyone can communicate and enjoy the game in their regional language. I know that common sense is a dying trait but really this one is one for the books.

Having a dedicated oceanic / English server would not create more opportunities, the PF would still be attached to the current worlds and be predominantly Japanese. The only area 'JP only' really occurs is savage content or learning parties, which isn't a great loss because you'll probably want other English speaking party members.

However; there really should be at least 1 server listed as Oceanic. A new player shouldn't have to research servers before creating a character, it should be simple and welcoming.

(Side bar: You can complete all current content with 240ms+ easily)

They moved the NA data center to make it easier for people in the Oceanic areas to use that D.C. Rather than the JP DC. The ping difference from what I have read is not that much different. The higher latency that some are reporting is due to s cable being damaged and they hope to repair that soon. But, a good gaming VPN can improve your ping by quite a bit. Try using a gaming VPN and check out the NA DC again.

[Serilda]

A moderate ping is still playable. I travel too.

But you should have picked a world in the same group as Tonberry (Elemental) if you wanted to play with people from Tonberry in PF. The other JP DCs are a lot less saturated with foreigners; let them have somewhere they can expect to play with people who can actually talk to them?

I'm really confused as the motivation many people have when replying to threads, so far we have one user making a request from SE and while it could have been worded better English is not everyone's first language. You then have a series of users berating the op for making a request with only one being moderately helpful reply. I remember when FFXIV was better more helpful online community.

See my comments in the 'Why do so many statics seem to be missing healers' on this sad decline.

As someone whose grasp in Japanese is only as good as Google Translate's and, unfortunately, has grown tired of trying to tackle end-game in 280+ ping environment...

Objectively speaking opening an 'EN-only server' in the JP datacenters, as sensible as it is in a debate about practicality and functionality, I personally don't see that happening anytime soon, so I'll have to echo Xeta's answer to an extent - you'll have to be happy with getting into alternative 'English JP-servers'.

If you'd rather have a more established population than Kujata/Typhon, Masamune also has a pretty healthy number of English-speaking population, though we're not in the same DC as Tonberry :c We're not on Tonberry's level where even the map/hunt shouts are all in English nowadays, but finding an English fc that's not dead isn't an issue at all in masamune.
