We really need several English server in Japan Data Center!

Who knows ? We might get new datacenter located in Singapore.
Finger crossed.

Snip.

You see, this is why western mindset does not work on Japanese/Asian culture. You only think of yourself.
Even if it is implemented on a JP DC what about the Japanese who now have to tolerate a huge influx of English speaking users who can't communicate with the majority?
They play on a JP DC because they know they can't speak/understand english well enough so they do not burden the others.

Exactly. And if there's one thing that Japanese *love* it's being told how to run their sh*t by foreigners.

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.

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.

Sorry but the post doesn't sound like a request, it sounds more like a demand. FFXIV still has a helpful community even if not everyone is holding hands and sings about peace.

But how about SE opens GER, FR, JPN and ENG servers on every datacenter? Because thats what they would've to do if they open a englisch Server on a japanese datacenter.

You're not even serious....right? How is this your comment. Please explain.

Since my post had absolutely nothing to do with myself I'm not sure what your are referring to, also please don't generalise a whole culture like that it's closed minded and inaccurate. I made absolutely no comments about the validity of the OPs request, I only commented on the nature of the replies and the fact that most made no attempt at constructive feedback.

Thank You for once again illustrating my point.

I don't expect holding hands and singing about peace but it's sad that majority of replies seem to be angry reactions. Also why would they have to open up all those servers? I genuinely do not understand the point you are trying to make.

If someone demands an english server on a japanese dataserver, then why shouldn't people from other countries demand that too? Or do you think other languages are not allowed to do so?

Actually we don't need all these servers and we don't need a english server on a japanese data server. If you are not able to communicate with the people there, then don't play there.
