We really need several English server in Japan Data Center!

The way to do it would be to have a tiny cluster of English-flagged servers in the JP region, as a new and entirely separate 'datacenter'. Then give the existing players the opportunity to transfer off for free. I think a lot of Japanese players would appreciate it too. Those interested in using Japanese can remain in place while those who don't want to learn can play without the lag - which I still don't think is so bad it's unplayable even though I'm at 250-300 ping myself.

(I'm not against Oceanic players having their own servers at all, I think it's a great idea if there are enough people who want it. But complaining about the PF being mostly JP when you pick a datacenter that doesn't include the biggest EN community is weird. Of course it's mostly JP. It's unreasonable to expect every single server group to be majority English-speaking.)

Why are you still on a Japanese server then? I'm from New Zealand and with the recent server move, I ping lower to Behemoth than Tonberry. Are you sure your latency difference is so great? When was the last time you checked?

3 of the top raiding groups on Behemoth (Primal data centre) are OCE based. I have a tough time believing that your latency difference to NA is as drastic as you're making it sound. 150ms is not unplayable by any stretch.

Aussies will either be the same or have a slight increase to NA depending on where you're from but overall its better ping to NA than it was. If you don't like the JP language block, you can literally leave.

This is exactly what's on my mind. I am good for a dedicated Oceanic Server but not for the reason of complaining about "JP only" Party Finders. You are in a JP data center, it is inevitable.
