    Are you certain you've set languages in the duty finder settings? It's separate to the setting for your profile.

    Being on a Japanese server as well, I can say it makes a huge difference - especially when queuing for eight-man content and endgame dungeons as both are reliant on the party being filled from separate roulette queues to the main leveling dungeons. (I've also read that the leveling roulette ignores language settings, but others do not.)


    For finding an FC, have a look on the individual forum for your world - they don't get used much but people do post FC advertisements, and there are a few recent ones.

    You will generally find people are quiet in dungeons though. FCs are for socialising, dungeons are for quietly doing your part and getting through it.

    With all the EXP boosts available and especially if you're running dungeons on top of working through the story, you'll end up overleveled when you get to 'old level cap' sections.

    You could test your theory by queuing up for Rhitalyn yourself and see. Server and Day of the Week probably plays a role but timezones and languages had nothing to do with it I'm pretty sure.
    On Jp server 「masamune」 to be specific, Rhitalyn on JP peak hour which is around 8-11 PM jp time on normal workday, with all language ticked 10 min as tank, 8 min as healer 14 min as dps, maybe quicker in 12 AM which is the roulettes reset time and more on holiday, dunno what you are talking about...

    Oh btw just to say Rhitalyn is actually popular time attack here, some people including me queu it on daily basis... for time attack so might not be a good example. Will try queue old trial tonight but i doubt anything need more than 20-30 min atm

    I know. But even with my alts and their EXP boosts, I’ve never been level 57 and still in ARR just doing the MSQ. My Twintania alt is level 50 and on Company of Heroes, but that’s only because I spammed Frontlines for several days for the hairstyle.

    Never have I been thankful or barely even noticed any differences in any of the classes. None of them bring anything unique to the table.

    Yes in this game it serves no purpose.

    60 hours into the game haven't seen a single shred of evidence for this.

    Please you must be joking? Since you mentioned WoW before let's take a glimpse at how dynamic that games combat was in 2006.

    You're right, there's more; but it's not even close to being the most active. And it's barely an MMOPRG. Looks to me like it's barely an ORPG.

You'll find higher concentrations of players in the open world. You'll be able to run dungeons and trials and raids that might be more engaging, more current and therefore active content. Probably also buy yourself a transfer to a more appropriate data center. Gonna be hard to get much meaningful player interaction with a language barrier, to say nothing of time differences.

    Basically, if you're rushing yourself through MSQ, have you stopped to ask why?
    After the first 10 hours of pick three glittery dust from this location or talk to these three completely meaningless people hidden somewhere over here I just kind of don't give a shit about 90% of any of that stuff.

    Why not just go back to WoW, then?
    Go play that calculator simulator with chinese RNG weekly grind and decaying class design to the point it can be played from a cellphone now.
